ClimateWire: When Rose Eitmiller found a new house on Sweet Pea Lane in Dewey-Humboldt, Ariz., population 3,613, she felt at home. She was still mourning the death of a daughter whom she always called "Sweetpea," and the place seemed right to her. But that move in 2004 only brought more heartache for Eitmiller. Four years later, U.S. EPA dug up her front lawn in a successful search for arsenic, and Dewey-Humboldt soon became a Superfund site. Now the town is one of several locations in the western United...

RTCC: Limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre industrial levels is possible but requires rapid investment in biomass, energy efficiency and carbon capture technologies says a new study. The Climate Action Network and Climate Analytics study is designed to offer policymakers and campaigners a guide of what levels of warming can still be avoided. The authors warn that even with the implementation of radical policies temperatures are likely to break the 1.5°C ceiling due to greenhouse gases already...

Grist: To step into the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers Permafrost Tunnel Research Facility in Fox, Alaska just north of Fairbanks is to step back in time. Burrowed into the silt layers of an unassuming hillside, the tunnel is like a scene out of a subarctic Indiana Jones adventure. Shivering, you walk the length of an underground football field, past protruding bones of Ice Age animals (including mammoths) and huge ice wedges, which were frozen in place long before Hebrew scribes compiled the Old Testament....

RedOrbit: Michael Harper for redOrbit.com -- Your Universe Online In 1945 an 8.1 magnitude earthquake hit the northern Arabian Sea which released 7.4 million cubic meters of methane into the ocean and atmosphere. Now a team of scientists from the MARUM Institute at the University of Bremen, the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, and the ETH Zurich have concluded a study on this earthquake and believe similar temblors are also adding to the release of greenhouse gases....
