Time: Gallup released the results of a new poll on Americans` opinions about climate change earlier this month. For those concerned about global warming, the data was not promising. On one hand, about two-thirds of Americans believed that global warming is happening or will happen during their lifetime--which, incidentally, happens to be the correct answer.

Less than 36% of those surveyed recognized global warming as an immediate threat, while most placed economic, federal spending, and healthcare issues above the need for environmental action. Last week concerned Senate Democrats held an overnight climate change filibuster, where senators drew attention to the urgency and effects of our warming planet. On our program, we take a look at societys...

Global warming melts edge of Greenland icesheet
2014-03-17 01:36:55| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: The last edge of the Greenland ice sheet that had resisted global warming has now become unstable, adding billions of tonnes of meltwater to rising seas, scientists say. In a study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, they say a surge in temperature from 2003 has eased the brakes on a long "river" of ice that flows to the coast in northeastern Greenland. Known as an ice stream, the "river" takes ice from a vast basin and slowly shifts it to the sea - in the same way the Amazon River...
