Washington Post: A group of scientists studying a broad range of Arctic systems -- from sea ice to permafrost to the Greenland ice sheet -- gathered in D.C. Wednesday to lay out just how extreme a year 2016 has been so far for the northern cap of the planet. I see the situation as a train going downhill, said Marco Tedesco, who studies Greenland at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University. And the feedback mechanisms in the Arctic [are] the slope of your hill. And it gets harder and harder...
Scientists say herbicide resistance predates GMO crops

Lee Van Wychen, Weed Science Society of America There may be no link between gmo's and herbicide resistance. Scientists say that the first know report of herbicide resistance began 60 years ago, long before glyphosate-resistant crops were discovered. read more

New clues could help scientists harness the power of photosynthesis
2016-07-07 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Identification of a gene needed to expand light harvesting in photosynthesis into the far-red-light spectrum provides clues to the development of oxygen-producing photosynthesis, an evolutionary advance that changed the history of life on Earth. "Knowledge of how photosynthesis evolved could empower scientists to design better ways to use light energy for the benefit of humankind," said Donald A. Bryant, the Ernest C. Pollard Professor of Biotechnology and professor of biochemistry and molecular...

Climate scientists are under attack from frivolous lawsuits
2016-07-07 12:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Todays climate scientists have a lot more to worry about than peer review. Organizations with perverse financial incentives harass scientists with lawsuit after lawsuit, obstructing research and seeking to embarrass them with disclosures of private information. On June 14th, an Arizona court ruled that thousands of emails from two prominent climate scientists must be turned over to the Energy & Environment Legal Institute (E&E), a group that disputes the 97% expert consensus on human-caused climate...
