Researchers followed the money, and found out that the sugar industry has been gaslighting the entire world for fifty years. It was code-named "Project 226."
Deforestation impacts felt for decades scientists

Climate Home: The ecological and carbon cost of rainforest destruction goes on accumulating for years after nations halt the conversion of canopy into farmland, scientists have found. This implies that to meet ambitious targets, global strategies to combat climate change including forest restoration should have started years ago. Tropical forests soak up vast quantities of carbon dioxide released by industrial combustion of fossil fuels, limiting global warming. Burning, clear-felling and ploughing...

It's the first new U.S. nuclear reactor in decades
2016-06-19 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: In an immaculate control room at the Watts Bar nuclear plant, green bars flash on a large screen, signaling something that has not happened in the United States in two decades. As control rods lift from the water in the core, and neutrons go about the business of splitting uranium atoms, life comes to a new nuclear reactor -- the first in the country since its sister reactor here was licensed in 1996. By summers end, authorities expect the new reactor at this complex along the Chickamauga...

Antarctic coastline images reveal four decades of ice loss to ocean
2016-06-05 00:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: A study of images along 2000km of West Antarctica's coastline has shown the loss of about 1000km2 of ice - an area equivalent to the city of Berlin - over the past 40 years. Researchers were surprised to find that the region has been losing ice for such a length of time. Their findings will help improve estimates of global sea level rise caused by ice melt. A research team from the University of Edinburgh analysed hundreds of satellite photographs of the ice margin captured by NASA, the United...
Nigerias Massive Oil Cleanup Could Take Decades And A Billion Dollars
2016-06-03 01:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Think Progress: Oil is seen on the creek water's surface near an illegal oil refinery in Ogoniland, outside Port Harcourt, in Nigeria's Delta region. A region of Nigeria's oil-rich southern delta suffers widespread ecological damage as spilled oil seeps into its drinking water, destroys plants and remains in the ground for decades at a time. What`s been described as the most wide-ranging and long-term oil clean-up plan in history was launched in Nigeria Thursday to restore hundreds of square miles of Delta swamps...
