Inaction on Global Warming 'Not an Option:' Angela Merkel

Agence France-Presse: German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned Monday that in the quest for binding international emissions targets to fight global warming, doing nothing is "not an option". "I'm under no illusion that there is a long road ahead," Merkel said about efforts to reverse global warming, melting ice caps and rising seas. But she warned at a climate conference in Berlin that "doing nothing only means that it will get a whole lot more expensive." Merkel was speaking at the Petersberg Climate Dialogue,...

Most Americans Blame Global Warming for Extreme Weather
2013-05-01 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: More than half of Americans think global warming is affecting weather in the United States, according to a new nationally representative survey that measures the pulse of American sentiment on climate change. The newly released study shows that about two out of three Americans say weather in the country has worsened over the past several years, with only one in 10 saying the weather has been improving. Americans also have strong views about the link between global warming and extreme weather....

Global warming at your doorstep

Science: When it comes to reducing carbon footprints, many Americans need look no further than their front yards. The soil beneath those perfectly manicured carpets of green grass-the pride of many suburban homeowners-is pumping surprising amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. That's according to a study published this month in the Soil Science Society of America Journal, which concludes that the amount of carbon rising from the soil of residential lawns is significantly greater than that from the soil of...

Guy Stewart Callendar: Global warming discovery marked
2013-04-26 14:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Seventy-five years ago an amateur scientist made a breakthrough discovery in the field of climate change. Guy Stewart Callendar linked global warming to CO2 emissions but his work went largely unnoticed at the time. Now the anniversary of his discovery has been commemorated by two leading climate scientists. Prof Phil Jones, from the University of East Anglia in Norwich, and Dr Ed Hawkins, from the University of Reading, have published a paper looking at Callendar's legacy. Prof Jones...

A way to curb global warming: Suck carbon emissions right out of the air?
2013-04-23 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Efforts to combat global warming, triggered and reinforced by rising levels of carbon dioxide as humans burn fossil fuels and convert forests to farmland, largely focus on preventing CO2 from entering the atmosphere in the first place. But small groups of researchers are pursuing a complementary approach. They are looking for ways to remove CO2 already in the air. On small scales, the approach has been used since the 1930s at dry-ice facilities, as well as to scrub CO2 from the air on submarines...
