Global warming changing taste wine
2015-01-04 01:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ZeeNews: The taste of some of the world's finest wines is changing as global warming alters the way grapes mature, scientists have found. Grapes such as pinot noir, merlot and chardonnay are now growing more quickly, subtly changing the compounds produced as they ripen and the synchronisation between maximum flavour and the ratio of sugar to acid, scientists said. An increasing number of vineyards are thus struggling to identify the perfect moment for picking the grapes to ensure their wines retain...

Rebuild Malaysian East Coast factoring in global warming
2015-01-01 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Malaysian Insider: It is important that when we rebuild, we do not rush in and focus all our effort and resources on repairing and getting everything back to things as they were before the flood. Instead, we need to rebuild with a new mindset, else we will fall into the same routine year-in year-out without getting wiser. Other countries around the world are also facing the same problem, they are having repeated frequency of floods, cyclone or forest fire. Previously, a natural disaster occurs once in a few...

French climate envoy says low oil prices could help produce global warming deal
2015-01-01 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Low oil prices could paradoxically help the world reach an international agreement to fight global warming, according to the French ambassador charged with organizing a key climate conference in Paris. France is spending the next 11 months trying to cajole more than 190 countries into overcoming disagreements about acceptable greenhouse gas emissions levels and who should pay to achieve them to produce a binding accord to limit emissions. Laurence Tubiana, France's special representative for...

Global warming will cut wheat yields, research shows
2014-12-23 11:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Global wheat yields are likely to fall significantly as climate change takes hold, new research has shown . The researchers found that wheat production would fall by 6% for every 1C increase in temperatures. The world is now nearly certain to warm by up to 2C compared with pre-industrial levels, with political efforts concentrated on holding the potential temperature rise to no higher than that limit. But some analyses suggest that if greenhouse gas emissions continue to grow at current rates...

Strong Pacific Trade Help Combat a Warming World
2014-12-23 00:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: According to a new study Mother Nature is trying to fight climate change alongside us, with strong Pacific trade winds helping to prevent an increasingly warming world. The chemical changes in corals helped reveal the link between weak tropical Pacific trade winds and warmer global temperatures (1910-1940). In contrast, when this natural pattern shifted and winds gained their strength back, the warming slowed down, as seen after 1940. "Strong winds in the tropical Pacific are playing a role...
