Global warming: Clouds may be less helpful than we thought
2016-04-09 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science Monitor: As global surface temperatures continue to rise as a result of human industrial activity, climate models may be overestimating the ability of clouds to curb climate change, new research has found. The study, published Friday in the journal Science, used newly available satellite technology to analyze clouds and determine the proportion of ice versus liquid water. This ratio has important implications for climate modeling, as it impacts the amount of solar radiation being thrown back into space....
To stop global warming, change how we eat?

Christian Science Monitor: Producing and cooking food is actually a huge contributor to global carbon emissions. How to take a bite out of the problem: Reduce food waste and change farm practices and eating habits. What we eat affects the earth. When most of us take a bite of a sandwich during lunchtime, were not thinking about how our meal impacts the earths atmosphere and contributes to climate change. Yet scientists say the food and agriculture sector is a major emitter of planet-warming greenhouse gases. Producing...
Climate models underestimate global warming by exaggerating cloud brightening
2016-04-08 07:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Yale University have found that climate models are aggressively making clouds "brighter" as the planet warms. This may be causing models to underestimate how much global warming will occur due to increasing carbon dioxide. The research appears in the April 8 edition of Science. As the atmosphere warms, clouds become increasingly composed of liquid rather than ice, making them brighter. Because liquid clouds reflect more sunlight back to...

Global warming, El Nino leave 36 per cent of coral reefs on death watch

CBC: The coral on the sea floor around the Pacific island of Kiritimati looked like a boneyard in November stark, white and lifeless. But there was still some hope. This month, color returned with fuzzy reds and browns but that's not good news. Algae has overtaken the lifeless coral on what had been some of the most pristine coral reefs on the planet, said University of Victoria coral reef scientist Julia Baum after dozens of dives in the past week. Maybe 5 percent will survive, she estimated....
Fever: Federal report says global warming making US sick

AP: The recent spring-like weather has a big downside for allergy sufferers: Tree buds, the first being elms and maples, have begun releasing pollen ahead of the normal time. A report issued Monday, April 4, 2016, by the Obama Administration listed how global warming will make the air dirtier, water more contaminated and food more tainted. It warned of diseases, such as those spread by ticks and mosquitoes, longer allergy seasons, and thousands of heat wave deaths. Man-made global warming is making...
