Changing the Way We Farm Could Help Stop Climate Change

TakePart: When the Soviet Union collapsed in the early 1990s, 112.4 million acres of farmland were abandoned as the country's collectivized farming system collapsed along with it. Over the next 20 years, that land became one of the largest areas in the world to sequester carbon. The region, known as a carbon sink, is equal to between 10 and 20 percent of the sequestration action of Russia's woodlands, which include vast tracts of boreal forests. Every year, the former farmland absorbs 42.6 million metric tons...

Changing monsoon patterns, more rain contribute to lower tea yield in Chinese provinces
2016-04-09 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Longer monsoon seasons with increased daily rainfall, aspects of climate change, are contributing to reduced tea yield in regions of China, with implications for crop management and harvesting strategies, according to findings by a global interdisciplinary team led by Tufts University researchers and published online today in Climate. Studying historical weather and production data from 1980 to 2011, the researchers applied a novel technique to estimate the onset, duration, and retreat of the...

Greenland and Antarctic melting isnt just raising seas its changing the Earths rotation

Washington Post: Africa is front and center in this image of Earth taken in July 2015 by a NASA camera on the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite. Sophisticated new gravity research suggests that changes in Earths climate may actually be having a stunning geophysical effect: slightly moving the location of the planets spin axis, or axis of daily rotation. In other words, even as the Earth spins on its axis in a west to east direction, completing a full rotation every 24 hours, that axis itself...

How melting ice sheets are changing the way the Earth moves on its axis video explainer

Guardian: Global warming is changing the way the Earth moves on its polar axis. A new Nasa study says that Melting ice sheets are affecting the distribution of weight on Earth, which is causing both the North Pole and the wobble, which is called polar motion, to change course. Scientists say the polar motion shift is harmless, but that it highlights the impact humans are having on the planet

Melting ice sheets changing the way the Earth wobbles on its axis, says Nasa
2016-04-09 02:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Global warming is changing the way the Earth wobbles on its polar axis, a new Nasa study has found. Melting ice sheets, especially in Greenland, are changing the distribution of weight on Earth. And that has caused both the North Pole and the wobble, which is called polar motion, to change course, according to a study published on Friday in the journal Science Advances. Scientists and navigators have been accurately measuring the true pole and polar motion since 1899, and for almost the entire...
