Ramanathan Takes The BBVA Foundation Award For Demonstrating The Global Warming Impact Of Other Gases And Particles And Showing That Means Are Available Besides Limiting CO2 To Achieve Short-Term Progress Against The Clock

The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the Climate Change category goes in this eighth edition to Indian climatologist Veerabhadran Ramanathan for discovering that human-produced gases and pollutants other than CO2have a huge power to alter the Earth's climate, and that by acting on them it is possible to make a short-term dent on the rate of global warming
Global Warming Could Take Its Toll Down The Shore Sooner Than Many Expect

CBS: A Florida based geologist has some dire warnings about climate change. Among them, many of the barrier islands along the Jersey shore could be under water in as little as 50 years. Professor Harold Wanless chairs the Geological Sciences Department at the University of Miami. He suggests the feds are grossly underestimating the rate at which sea levels are rising because the polar ice caps are melting so rapidly. His advice? Towns along the shore should start preparing now. "As sea level...
Lost Whaling Ships Discovered in Arctic Thanks to Global Warming

National Geographic: When archaeologists searched the remote northwestern coast of Alaska this fall, they didn't think they'd find much of interest, or anything intact, due to the area's extreme weather and destructive cycles of freezing and thawing. But then they were surprised to come across large sections of wooden hulls from two nineteenth century whaling ships, as well as artifacts like anchors, chains, struts, and pots for whale oil. "One would expect anything sitting on the seabed for that long to have been...

Warming Fuels Rise in Methane Threat

Climate News Network: There is fresh concern among scientists over the rises they are detecting in one of the chief greenhouse gases, methane. A team of researchers from universities in Sweden and the US says methane is increasing in the atmosphere fast enough for emissions of the gas possibly to rise by between 20% and 50% before the end of the century. Over a century, methane is 25 times more powerful as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, the main gas contributing to global warming. But over a 20-year period,...

Inaction on global warming is as reckless as drunken driving

Washington Post: Daniel Farber teaches environmental law and tort law at the University of California at Berkeley. Our moral duty to address climate change is based on a simple concept, straightforward enough to qualify as kindergarten fare. We tell our children that they need to be careful not to hurt their playmates. As we get older, we learn that we need to be careful when we engage in other activities too -- we shouldnt drive after drinking, or leave loaded guns around children. The same simple concept can...
