Senators Vote in Circles about Global Warming and Keystone XL Pipeline
2015-01-30 20:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: The U.S. Senate voted 62 to 36 yesterday to build the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline that would bring oil from tar sands in Canada down through the U.S. Tar sands are one of the dirtiest forms of oil and expansion of their use would ensure too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, helping climate change wreak even more havoc. Yet this prospect is exactly what many of the same Senators who approved the pipeline voted to avoid, philosophically at least, just last week. How can that be? And who...
Global warming: atmosphere will adapt to hotter, wetter climate

Business Times: Strong storms will become stronger while weak storms become weaker, and the cumulative result of all the storms will remain unchanged under global warming, says a study led by atmospheric physicists at the University of Toronto. The team quantified the way in which increase in water vapour from global warming influences the strength of atmospheric air circulation. The atmosphere it turns out will adapt to hotter, wetter climate. "We know that with global warming we'll get more evaporation...

Call properly addressing global warming victims rehabilitation

Dhaka Tribune: Speakers at a discussion yesterday urged the international community to decide on the future of people displaced by the impacts of global warming. They said nations responsible for causing climate change should address rehabilitation measures of the affected people as the victim nations, including Bangladesh, alone cannot do so for such a large number of displaced people. Vulnerable countries like Bangladesh are not inducing global warming. It is the developed nations that are responsible for...

Global wheat yields threatened by warming with serious consequences
2015-01-22 16:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ecologist: Just one degree of global warming could cut wheat yields by 42 million tonnes worldwide, around 6% of the crop, writes Paul Brown - causing devastating shortages of this staple food. Market shortages would cause price rises. Many developing countries, and the hungry poor within them, would not be able to afford wheat or bread. Climate change threatens dramatic price fluctuations in the price of wheat and potential civil unrest because yields of one of the world's most important staple foods...
