World's biggest ice sheets likely more stable than previously believed
2013-05-16 21:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: For decades, scientists have used ancient shorelines to predict the stability of today's largest ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. Markings of a high shoreline from three million years ago, for example -- when Earth was going through a warm period -- were thought to be evidence of a high sea level due to ice sheet collapse at that time. This assumption has led many scientists to think that if the world's largest ice sheets collapsed in the past, then they may do just the same in our modern,...

Scientists U.S. Road Trip Reveals Higher Methane Emissions Than Previously Known
2013-05-16 19:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Methane measurements collected during a scientists road trip across the U.S. indicate that local emissions of the potent greenhouse gas are higher than previously known in many regions. Using a gas chromatograph mounted to the roof of a rented camper, Ira Leifer of the University of California, Santa Barbara, collected air samples from Florida to California, finding the highest methane concentrations in areas with significant refinery activity such as Houston, Texas and in a region of central...

Earths core is much hotter than previously thought hotter than the surface of the Sun
2013-04-26 18:20:51| Extremetech
Using a delicious combination of particle accelerators, X-rays, high-intensity lasers, diamonds, and iron atoms, scientists have worked out that the inner core of the Earth is actually 6,000 degrees Celsius -- some 1,000 degrees hotter than the previous scientific estimate. This new data could generate repercussions in the fields of geophysics, seismology, geodynamics, and other Earth-oriented scientific disciplines.
Freeway Air Pollution Travels Farther than Previously Thought

Environmental News Network: Los Angeles is known not only for its celebrity clientele, but also for its congested roadways and heavy traffic, which consequently has led to severely polluted air, and the title of the "smoggiest city" in the United States. While air quality has improved somewhat in LA, a joint study by UCLA and the California Air Resources Board suggests that nearly a quarter of Angelenos are exposed to noxious plumes of freeway fumes almost every morning, far more people than previously thought. Researchers...
