Scientists fly glacial ice to south pole to unlock secrets of global warming
2016-03-27 01:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: In a few weeks, researchers will begin work on a remarkable scientific project. They will drill deep into the Col du Dôme glacier on Mont Blanc and remove a 130 metre core of ice. Then they will fly it, in sections, by helicopter to a laboratory in Grenoble before shipping it to Antarctica. There the ice core will be placed in a specially constructed vault at the French-Italian Concordia research base, 1,000 miles from the south pole. The Col du Dôme ice will become the first of several dozen...
Climate change may ruin wine production, scientists warn

Independent: Wine production will be severely hampered by climate change in the long run, according to new research. The rise in global temperatures has seen the European wine industry enjoy a boom in recent years with better quality grapes being harvested but it will not last forever. In western Europe, the best wines are produced in hot summers when end-of-season droughts are followed by heavy spring rains. Indian summers reduce surface moisture and dry out the soil which makes the grapes ready for...

Good news: scientists have found corals that might actually survive climate change
2016-03-24 08:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceAlert: There's not been much good news for the world's coral reefs lately, with images released this week of the most dramatic bleaching event to date on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, and experts predicting that climate change will eventually destroy the famous reef entirely. But researchers have now identified corals hiding in plain sight that are not only surviving increased acidification and warming temperatures, but appear to be thriving in them. A team of Australian researchers from the University...
