Fortified by Global Warming, Deadly Fungus Poisons Corn Crops, Causes Cancer
2013-01-15 18:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: Last years drought increased the spread of a carcinogenic mold called aspergillus (Aspergillus flavus), a fungal pathogen that poisons cattle, kills pets and has infected the 2012 corn crop, rendering significant portions of the harvest unfit for consumption. Whereas the deadly organism mainly affects countries like China and developing African nations, many U.S. states have experienced an increase in corn contamination since 2011. Farmers are likely to see more of the carcinogen as temperatures...

Big Chill vs. Global Warming: What's Going On?
2013-01-14 17:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: The recent, rare snow in Jerusalem and parts of Lebanon, along with freezing temperatures for Southern California have not nixed the reality of climate change. The planet is warming, and chilled weather doesn't negate that fact, say climate experts. In fact, such "rare" storms are expected in a warming world. "As the globe warms, regions of the Earth that have cold winters will still have cold winters, and we will still see the random rolls of the weather dice, like we are seeing this winter,"...
Global warming has increased monthly heat records by a factor of five

ScienceDaily: Monthly temperature extremes have become much more frequent, as measurements from around the world indicate. On average, there are now five times as many record-breaking hot months worldwide than could be expected without long-term global warming, shows a study now published in Climatic Change. In parts of Europe, Africa and southern Asia the number of monthly records has increased even by a factor of ten. 80 percent of observed monthly records would not have occurred without human influence on climate,...
Federal Scientists Detail Stronger Evidence of Global Warming in National Climate Assessment

EcoWatch: A map depicts temperature changes over the past 20 years, compared to the average between 1901 and 1960. "The period from 2001 to 2011 was warmer than any previous decade in every region," according to the National Climate Assessment. The U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) released its draft National Climate Assessment on Jan. 11, just a week after the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration confirmed the U.S. experienced its warmest year on record. According to the Letter...

The Link Between Global Warming, Sea Levels And Volcanoes
2013-01-11 21:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Forbes: Rising seas pose some of the biggest emerging challenges to the world, as coastal urban areas face higher water and dangerous storms, protected only by weak, sometimes crumbling 20th-century flood defenses. But sea level rise, largely the result of manmade climate change, may have effects that go far beyond catastrophic flooding: a new paper shows how higher water may lead to increased volcanic activity. Lets get this out of the way: this isnt going to cause any immediate problems. Governments...
