Global warming bringing big changes to U.S. forests
2013-02-08 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Big changes are in store for the nation`s forests as global warming increases wildfires and insect infestations, and generates more frequent floods and droughts, the U.S. Department of Agriculture warns in a report released this week. The compilation of more than 1,000 scientific studies is part of the National Climate Assessment and will serve as a roadmap for managing national forests across the country in coming years. It says the area burned by wildfires is expected to at least double over...
Study: Global Warming Can Be Slowed By Working Less
2013-02-05 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
U.S. News and World Report: Want to reduce the effects of global warming? Stop working so hard. Working fewer hours might help slow global warming, according to a new study released Monday by the Center for Economic Policy and Research. A worldwide switch to a "more European" work schedule, which includes working fewer hours and more vacation time, could prevent as much as half of the expected global temperature rise by 2100, according to the analysis, which used a 2012 study that found shorter work hours could be associated...

Food waste contributes to global warming, but change is possible
2013-02-01 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Voice of Russia: More than a third of the world's entire food production is lost or wasted annually. Both the European Union and the United Nations have, separately and unanimously opted to launch their own campaigns to raise awareness of the issue. On top of that, many NGOs are already tackling waste. However, there is only one-way to go: make sure that the food gets from the farm to the fork. A report published by the UK's Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) in January 2013 has found that almost half...

Are Human-Caused and Natural Global Warming Different? Study Says Yes
2013-02-01 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Human-triggered climate warming appears to leave a unique fingerprint on global rainfall rates compared with natural warming, according to a new study. While rainfall rates increase whether the long-term warming trend is natural or not, the rate of increase appears to be higher during natural warming trends. The result might help resolve a long-standing discrepancy between changes in rainfall projected in global climate models and changes projected by studying the historical record, researchers...

Cargill Cattle Plant Closes, Global Warming contributing factor?
2013-01-28 12:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Triple Pundit: It sounds a bit like justice served, doesn't it? When Cargill announced the closing of its Plainview, Texas, cattle operation, they cited a record low cattle supply as the result of the region's severe drought. Though scientific models don't yet have the precision to directly tie a particular weather event, be it a storm or a drought, to global warming trends, there is plenty of evidence indicating that drought is clearly increasing as the result of the changing climate. More clear is the linkage...
