Giant clam = giant impact: study compiles how mega-clams impact seas
2015-02-06 17:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: The worlds biggest bivalves are the aptly named giant clams. Inhabiting the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific, the largest of these species, the eponymous giant clam (Tridacna squamosal), can reach up to 1.2 meters (4 feet) in length and wiegh over 230 kilograms (500 pounds). Historically known as the killer clam for its supposed ability to trap careless divers, these harmless and colorful bivalves are favorite animals for divers and snorkelers to spot, but they may also be big players in the ecosystem....
Study Downgrades Climate Impact Wood Burning
2015-01-19 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Surprising new research has sharply downgraded the perceived climate impacts of the gathering and burning of wood by residents of poor and developing countries who rely on the fuel to keep warm and cook food. Of the 2.8 billion people forced to use wood for fuel, often filling their humble homes with life-shortening soot, the vast majority are chopping down and gathering their fuel in ways that allow forests and woodlands to regrow. That isn't just good for the environment around them -- carbon-hungry...

Bonanza for study of climate change's impact on marine methane
2014-08-27 00:39:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science Monitor: Methane streaming from the seafloor at ~425 meters (1400 ft) water depth offshore Virginia. Such naturally occurring methane seeps are a bonanza for scientists trying to understand undersea methane's responses to climate change. Researchers have discovered hundreds of naturally occurring methane seeps along the margins of the East Coast's continental shelf a bonanza for marine scientists trying to understand undersea methane's potential responses to climate change. In effect, these seeps...
