Reuters: The Obama administration's proposed cuts to U.S. biofuel use targets could undermine the White House's plan to tackle climate change, according to two Democrats on the Senate committee that oversees the renewable fuel mandate. The Environmental Protection Agency's plan, slashing requirements for blending ethanol and biodiesel into U.S. fuel supplies in 2014, would lead to increased oil use and carbon emissions, Senators Barbara Boxer and Edward Markey said in a letter sent to White House late...

Air Pollution is Driving Fewer Monsoons?
2014-10-06 22:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A new study has found that pollutant emissions produced by human activity has been causing the world's total annual monsoon rainfall to decline over the past five decades. And while that may be good news for some flood-prone regions, experts do not doubt that it has had a significant adverse impact on delicate ecologies. That's all according to a study recently published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. "This study shows for the first time that the drying of the monsoon over the...

Air pollution increases river-flows: Study
2014-10-06 07:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Press Trust of India: Air pollution has had a significant impact on the amount of water flowing through many rivers in the northern hemisphere, a new study has found. The study shows how aerosols can have an impact on the natural environment and highlights the importance of considering these factors in assessments of future climate change, researchers said. It is already established that increased burning of sulphurous coal up to the late 1970s led to additional aerosols in the atmosphere. These are reflective and...
