ScienceDaily: A new paper in Nature Communications explains why some climate processes are more effective than others at warming/cooling Earth. By accounting for these differences we can more accurately determine the most important drivers of climate change in sensitive regions like the Arctic. The scientists Richard Davy and Igor Esau at the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center/Bjerknes Center for Climate Research in Bergen Norway bring a new perspective to understanding why some climate processes...

Increased vegetation in the Arctic region may counteract global warming
2016-05-25 02:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Climate change creates more shrub vegetation in barren, arctic ecosystems. A study at Lund University in Sweden shows that organisms, such as bacteria and fungi, are triggered to break down particularly nutritious dead parts of shrubbery. Meanwhile, the total amount of decomposition is reducing. This could have an inhibiting effect on global warming. A large amount of the Earths carbon and nitrogen is stored in arctic ecosystems where the ground is permanently frozen, known as permafrost. Climate...

MIAMI -- On the job just six months as the chief resilience officer in Florida's largest county, Jim Murley has gotten pretty good at his climate change 101 speech. It's out of necessity. As the Earth's temperature rises, the oceans warm, he told...
A warming world means less water, with economic consequences

NPR: Villagers throw containers into a well to collect their daily supply of potable water after a tanker made its daily delivery in Shahapur, India, on May 13. India is in the midst of a drought. We often associate climate change with too much water - the melting ice caps triggering a rise in sea levels. Now a new World Bank report says we also need to think about too little water - the potable sort. High and Dry: Climate Change, Water, and the Economy examines the future effects of diminishing...

USA Today: Al Gore hasn't completely given up hope on fighting climate change if Donald Trump becomes president. "He has said some things on the climate crisis that I think should concern everyone," the former vice president said on NBC's Today show. "I'm not pollyannaish about it. But I do think there is still some basis for hope ... President Carter said that he hopes he'll be malleable. I don't know.' Gore's comments came as he marked the 10th anniversary of the release of his climate change film,...
