RedOrbit: Helping farmers around the globe apply more precise amounts of fertilizer nitrogen can combat climate change. That`s the conclusion of a study published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In the paper, researchers at Michigan State University (MSU) provide an improved prediction of nitrogen fertilizer`s contribution to greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural fields. The study uses data from around the world to show that emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O),...
USDA to Provide Funding to Fight PEDV
2014-06-10 02:27:00| National Hog Farmer
USDA announced it was dedicating $26.2 million in funding to combat porcine epidemic diarrhea firus (PEDV) and Swine Delta Coronavirus. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said, In the last year, industry has estimated PEDV has killed some 7 million piglets and caused tremendous hardship for many American pork producers. The number of market-ready hogs this summer could fall by more than 10 percent relative to 2013 because of PEDV. Together with industry and our state partners, the steps we will take through the Federal Order will strengthen the response to PEDV and these other viruses and help us lessen the impact to producers. read more

Environmental News Network: Over-fishing is already a concerning problem, but new research indicates that not only could it mean losing fish species, it could also contribute to global warming more than we'd previously thought. That's because researchers from the Marine Institute and the University of Southampton have found that fish that feed on our ocean floor and do not come to the surface actually act as carbon sinks. Other examples of naturally occurring carbon sinks include forests and, indeed, the oceans themselves....

Fighting climate change with taxpayer dollars isn't a fight against freedom
2014-06-09 13:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Conservatives like to project themselves as lovers of the free market. They believe that everyone should go out and fend for themselves, that the government shouldn't be getting in the way of those with talent and ambition and that it shouldn't be wasting "their" tax dollars on people who are too lazy to get off their rears and earn their keep. That story has a certain simplistic appeal and apparent logical consistency. Unfortunately it also has almost nothing to do with the reality of where conservatives...

Greenhouse-gas fight could hurt Democrats
2014-06-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Columbus Dispatch: President Barack Obamas proposed restrictions to reduce greenhouse gases continue a 40-year federal effort to clean the air, but he might have seriously damaged Democratic chances of holding the Senate in the November elections. Although polls show that a sizable majority of Americans support efforts to reduce the threat of climate change, the new rules designed to curb carbon-dioxide emissions from power plants are unpopular in states that produce coal or rely on coal-produced electricity. The...
