Guardian: Australia has been warned of the rising threat of dengue fever and heat stroke deaths in the wake of a study that found climate change is aiding the spread of infectious diseases around the world. The report, part-funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and published in Science, found that climate change is already abetting diseases in wildlife and agriculture, with humans at heightened risk from dengue fever, malaria and cholera.

As Keystone stalls, TransCanada OKs bigger East Coast line
2013-08-01 14:39:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: TransCanada Corp on Thursday said it would move ahead with a $12 billion oil pipeline to ship Western Canada's oil sands crude to refiners on its east coast and beyond, scaling up the project as its U.S.-bound Keystone XL line stalls in Washington. TransCanada, Canada's No. 2 pipeline company, said it would push ahead with a 1.1-million-barrel-per-day Energy East Pipeline after "strong market support." That is more than the 850,000 bpd capacity TransCanada mentioned in April, when it first began...
The Case for a Bigger, Badder iPad
2013-07-25 14:00:00| TechNewsWorld
I'm wondering if we're not heading toward a larger iPad. First, Mac sales were down a bit last quarter.

2013-07-22 06:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Poison ivy's shiny green leaves are gourmet cuisine for deer, bear and other animals. Birds like its white berries and spread the seeds by unmentionable means. But the leaves, berries and vine are the bane of humankind and primates. In the hours after the lacquer-like oil, urushiol, gets transferred at the slightest contact, mad scratching begins. Enough urushiol to fit on the head of a pin can cause misery for 500 people. Even a billionth of a gram of urushiol on the skin is said to cause agony....
