Coral Reefs Give the Ocean it's Smell, Fight Global Warming; Study

Nature World: Coral reefs aren't just spectacular, but they are also the 'smell of the ocean'. A new study has found that coral animals produce a sulfur compound that gives the water body its typical smell and protects them from global warming. This sulfur also influences local cloud formation. The study, conducted by researchers at Australian Institute of Marine Science and colleagues, found that the coral animals produces dimethylsulphoniopropionate, which gives the characteristic oceanic smell. DMSP even...
Warming oceans will affect the planet's poorest

Climate News Network: Greenhouse gas emissions from industry and power generation have begun to trigger ocean changes that will impose huge costs to the poorest people on the planet. Only in the polar regions would there be any increase in productivity or in oxygen levels. Nowhere would there be any cooling. These changes are likely to cascade through marine ecosystems and habitats to the deep ocean itself, and to affect humans along the way, according to a report published this month in the journal Public Library of...

Independent: Two years ago this month, in a disused UK airfield, scientists were preparing to undertake one of the more controversial experiments in history. A dirigible balloon would spray 120litres of water droplets into the sky, a miniaturized test for a larger system that would pump out chemical particles to reflect sunlight and, so the scientists hoped, cool the planet. It was to be amomentous day. Geoengineering is the largescale, technological manipulation of the climate (some call it "planet hacking")....

India: Aftermath of global warming nature furious
2013-10-20 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Deccan Chronicle: India appears to be a creaking battleship struggling hard to come to terms with climate change. Not only has India become warmer than it was five decades ago but extreme weather events such as flooding, drought and cyclones are driving this battleship aground. Some of the deadliest tropical cyclones in history have emanated from the Bay of Bengal triggering speculation that these could well be linked to climate change, the most recent being cyclone Phailin which lashed the Odisha coast early October....
