Why Al Gore Is Hopeful on Global Warming

Mashable: Al Gore is hopeful. In fact, the Nobel Laureate, who has spent years solemnly sounding the alarm on global warming, now sounds positively chipper. In an interview with Mashable this week, he argued with the conviction of a barnstorming preacher that climate change has changed from a scientific issue to a grassroots social movement and expressed excitement that the cost of carbon-free energy sources are plunging to become competitive with fossil fuel prices. This new, more ebullient Gore,...

National Journal: A top White House adviser said President Obama will use next week's United Nations climate summit in New York City to push initiatives aimed at helping nations bolster their defenses against climate-related risks. "He'll be making a number of announcements that put America squarely on the side of building global resilience, trying to provide public goods to countries around the world, some of whom can't afford to build the kind of resilient tools they need to anticipate the effects of climate...

Global Warming Changes the Way Sharks Swim

LiveScience: Sharks exposed to ocean water acidified by too much carbon dioxide alter their behavior, swimming in longer spurts than sharks in typical ocean water, particularly during their nighttime wanderings. The new findings, published in the journal Biology Letters, are troubling, given that one effect of the human consumption of fossil fuels is to make ocean water more acidic. If fossil fuel burning continues as is, sharks may face even more challenges than they do today -- when a quarter of species...

Can We Solve Global Warming For Almost Nothing?
2014-09-16 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Gawker: Much of the discussion about cutting the carbon emissions that are slowly destroying our planet centers on the supposed cost of all these new forms of clean energy. A new report suggests: what costs? Yes, changing over our planet's dominant power supply from one powered by fossil fuels to one powered by cleaner forms of energy will be enormously expensive. And yes, the tax on carbon emissions that it will likely take to spur companies towards clean energy will be enormously expensive, to polluters....

Big firms agree to cut use of coolants that add to global warming

LA Times: A week before world leaders will discuss how to slow the increase of dangerous gases in the atmosphere, the Obama administration announced that it has reached agreements with a range of major companies to voluntarily phase out a class of chemicals, used in refrigerators and air conditioners, and seen as contributors to global warming. The chemicals, called hydrofluorocarbons or HFCs, became the popular alternative to the refrigerant, Freon, banned in the 1990s as a danger to the planet`s ozone...
