Guardian: Ten million homes in the UK should have their roofs covered with solar panels in the next six years, if the country is to fulfil its renewable energy potential, energy experts said on Wednesday. That number - of more than a third of households generating energy from the sun - would allow the UK to produce about 6% of its annual electricity needs from solar power, with as much as 40% coming from the panels on sunny days in summer, by 2020. These figures are comparable to those of Germany, which...

California drought: Past dry periods have lasted more than 200 years, scientists say
2014-01-26 00:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mercury: California's current drought is being billed as the driest period in the state's recorded rainfall history. But scientists who study the West's long-term climate patterns say the state has been parched for much longer stretches before that 163-year historical period began. And they worry that the "megadroughts" typical of California's earlier history could come again. Through studies of tree rings, sediment and other natural evidence, researchers have documented multiple droughts in California...
