Polar Bears 'More Resilient' To Climate Change Than Thought,
2014-01-25 21:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
International Business Times: Polar bears are regularly thought of as being among the animals most burdened by climate change, often painted as starved creatures floating aimlessly on shrinking icebergs. But new research is depicting the Arctics greatest predator as one that can actually adapt pretty well to a changing climate, at least when it comes to modifying its diet. Recent research of polar bears diets has produced a vast body of evidence that the bears are turning to other sources of sustenance in times when seals,...

Daily Mail: We all know what's gone wrong, or we think we do: not enough spending on flood defences. It's true that government cuts have exposed thousands of homes to greater risk, but too little public spending is a small part of the problem.

Mountains May Suck Up Carbon Better Than Thought
2014-01-16 20:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: The rocks atop steep mountains can break down into soil far quicker than previously thought, new research shows. Given that soil is involved in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the results suggest that mountains may have the potential to influence global climate, researchers say. Previous research had suggested there's a "speed limit" to the rate of new soil production and weathering on rapidly eroding mountain ranges. To test if this speed limit can be broken, researchers analyzed soil...
