Organic farming 'could be key to feeding world as global warming takes hold'
2016-02-15 11:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: Organic farming long held to be irrelevant in tackling world hunger could be key to feeding the world as global warming takes hold, one of the biggest studies ever to be carried out into the contentious practice has concluded. The research, which has reviewed hundreds of studies stretching back over four decades, not only overturns conventional wisdom but contradicts Britains official Food Standards Agency, which has repeatedly attacked chemical-free agriculture. It adds to emerging evidence...
Turtles face climate change threat as warming beaches turn eggs female
2016-02-14 04:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Researchers investigating the impact of rising temperatures on sea turtles are travelling to some of the most remote beaches in Australia to work out which populations are at risk of being feminised into extinction. In a phenomenon being seen worldwide, warming temperatures are resulting in an increasing number of turtles eggs hatching female. The race is now on to work out which rookeries are most at risk in Australia, with a University of Western Australia (UWA) team focused on turtle breeding...
Greenhouse gases fuelling long-term global warming
2016-02-09 09:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Kerala: Researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, combined global climate models with satellite measurements of changes in the energy approaching and leaving the Earth at the top of the atmosphere over the past 15 years to study the human impacts on global temperatures in the long run. The satellite data were from the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) instruments on NASA's Aqua and Terra spacecraft. Scientists...

Global warming policies we set today determine the next 10,000 years
2016-02-09 01:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: The decisions made in the next couple of decades about reducing greenhouse gas emissions will determine the severity of global warming -- including potentially catastrophic sea level rise -- for the next 10,000 years, according to a new study. The study, published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change, examines the "deep time" implications of emissions of global warming pollutants such as carbon dioxide. The study vividly demonstrates how the lag effects that are inherent in the climate...
Europes Shift to Dark Green Forests Fuels Warming
2016-02-07 16:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: An expansion of Europe's forests towards dark green conifers has stoked global warming, according to a study at odds with a widespread view that planting more trees helps human efforts to slow rising temperatures. Forest changes have nudged Europe's summer temperatures up by 0.12°C (0.2°F) since 1750, largely because many nations have planted conifers such as pines and spruce whose dark colour traps the sun's heat, the scientists said. Lighter-colored broad-leafed trees, such as oak or birch,...
