Clouds Cooling Power Not Enough Protect Us from Global Warming

Nature World: Researchers thought that the ability of clouds to reflect sunlight is going to be an effective preventive countermeasure against global warming, but a new study suggests that it might not be the case anymore. According to most climate change models that analyze mixed-phase clouds--those that contain cool liquid and ice water--is that as the global temperature rises, the ice water in the clouds produces more cool liquid. The more liquid and less ice clouds, according to the researchers, are...

World faces soil crisis due to global warming
2016-04-10 13:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
IOL: The world is facing a soil crisis that could badly hit food production, according to alarming new research, which warns that climate change is likely to damage soil fertility much more than expected. A 17-year study, published in the journal PLoS One, into the effect of global warming on microbes -the tiny bacteria, fungi and other micro-organisms that determine soil health - reveals them to be far less adaptable to changing conditions than scientists had thought. This raises concerns that...

Global warming: Clouds may be less helpful than we thought
2016-04-09 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science Monitor: As global surface temperatures continue to rise as a result of human industrial activity, climate models may be overestimating the ability of clouds to curb climate change, new research has found. The study, published Friday in the journal Science, used newly available satellite technology to analyze clouds and determine the proportion of ice versus liquid water. This ratio has important implications for climate modeling, as it impacts the amount of solar radiation being thrown back into space....
To stop global warming, change how we eat?

Christian Science Monitor: Producing and cooking food is actually a huge contributor to global carbon emissions. How to take a bite out of the problem: Reduce food waste and change farm practices and eating habits. What we eat affects the earth. When most of us take a bite of a sandwich during lunchtime, were not thinking about how our meal impacts the earths atmosphere and contributes to climate change. Yet scientists say the food and agriculture sector is a major emitter of planet-warming greenhouse gases. Producing...
Climate models underestimate global warming by exaggerating cloud brightening
2016-04-08 07:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Yale University have found that climate models are aggressively making clouds "brighter" as the planet warms. This may be causing models to underestimate how much global warming will occur due to increasing carbon dioxide. The research appears in the April 8 edition of Science. As the atmosphere warms, clouds become increasingly composed of liquid rather than ice, making them brighter. Because liquid clouds reflect more sunlight back to...
