Q&A: What the algae bloom prediction means for Lake Erie
2016-07-31 13:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Late summer on western Lake Erie means boating, fishing and unsightly algae, at least in recent years. Researchers are forecasting that this season`s harmful algae bloom will be less severe than those over the past few years. Some questions and answers about what is means for visitors to the lake and residents who depend on it for drinking water: WHY WILL THIS YEAR`S ALGAE BLOOM BE SMALLER? Less rain during the spring and early summer months adds up to less phosphorus from farms and sewage treatment...

Toxic algae bloom closes Utah lake, sickens more than 100 people

Associated Press: A huge toxic algae bloom in Utah has closed one of the largest freshwater lakes west of the Mississippi River, sickening more than 100 people and leaving farmers scrambling for clean water for days during the hottest part of the year. The bacteria commonly known as blue-green algae has spread rapidly to cover almost all of 150-square-mile Utah Lake, turning the water bright, anti-freeze green with a pea soup texture and leaving scummy foam along the shore. "It smells like something is rotting,"...

Climate Change Claims a Lake, and a Way of Life
2016-07-07 11:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: The water receded and the fish died. They surfaced by the tens of thousands, belly-up, and the stench drifted in the air for weeks. The birds that had fed on the fish had little choice but to abandon Lake Poopó, once Bolivias second-largest but now just a dry, salty expanse. Many of the Uru-Murato people, who had lived off its waters for generations, left as well, joining a new global march of refugees fleeing not war or persecution, but climate change. The lake was our mother and our father,...
Glyphosate Sprayed on GMO Crops Linked to Lake Eries Toxic Algae Bloom
2016-07-05 19:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Glyphosate, the controversial main ingredient in Monsantos Roundup and other herbicides, is being connected to Lake Erie`s troubling algae blooms, which has fouled drinking water and suffocated and killed marine life in recent years. Phosphorus--attributed to farm runoff carried by the Maumee River--has long been identified as a leading culprit feeding the excessive blooms in the western Lake Erie basin. Now, according to a new study from chemistry professor Christopher Spiese, a significant...
