New Lakes Discovered Under Greenland Ice Hint at Warming
2015-01-22 14:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Live Science: The discovery of two large lakes hidden beneath Greenland's ice suggests that climate change now cuts all the way to the bottom of the ice sheet, according to two new studies. The lakes, on opposite coasts, were only spotted because meltwater from Greenland's surface triggered gushing floods in the fall of 2011. Billions of gallons of water had flushed some 30 miles (50 kilometers) to the sea, leaving behind sunken craters in the surface of the ice above the lakes. Researchers found the fractured...

Oil Prices Drop As Global Warming Rises
2015-01-21 02:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: With oil prices plunging from more than $100 a barrel last summer to below $50 now, the consequences of a petro-fuelled economy are hitting homeespecially in Alberta, where experts forecast a recession. The provinces projected budget surplus has turned into a $500-million deficit on top of a $12-billion debt, with predicted revenue losses of $11 billion or more over the next three or four years if prices stay low or continue to drop as expected. Albertas government is talking about service reductions,...
135 years of global warming in one terrifying animation

BGR: We recently showed you a shocking little image that packed 63 years of global warming into one GIF, and now theres some new imagery to help us visualize just how significant climate change really is. Its impossible to argue with numbers, and an animated chart created recently by Bloomberg shows the peak monthly global temperature each year for the past 135 years, as well as the average annual temperatures. Once we get into the 20th century, its positively terrifying to watch as the average...

Rising meat consumption pushes farming past deforestation as global warming driver
2015-01-19 00:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: Agriculture has surpassed deforestation and land use change as a driver of greenhouse gas emissions, argues a paper published in Global Change Biology. The research, led by Francesco N. Tubiello of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), looked at emissions from all human sources, breaking them into five categories: buildings, energy, industry, transport and "Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Uses" or AFOLU. Within that last category, the authors disaggregated crop and livestock...

Manicured lawns contribute to global warming by producing greenhouse gases
2015-01-19 00:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Asian News International: A new study has recently revealed that manicured lawns are major source of greenhouse gases, which contribute to global warming. The study confirmed what some environmentalists have long suspected: that the lawn has a bigger problem than rampaging legionaries, the Independent reported. But the scientists behind the study believe it would still be possible to create a magnificent expanse of green sward if a number of simple steps are taken to reduce its impact on the planet. Grass lawns soak...
