http://globalwarming.livephotonotes.com News about global warming and greenhouse effect Tue, 08 Jul 2008 11:55:56 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Researchers here now have a picture of a key molecule that lets microbes produce carbon dioxide and methane – the two greenhouse gases associated with global warming. The findings relate to organisms called methanogens and are explained in the latest issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. http://globalwarming.livephotonotes.com/2008/07/08/process-used-by-microges-to-make-greenhouse-gases-uncovered/ A new NASA-French space agency oceanography satellite launched June 20 from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., on a globe-circling voyage to continue charting sea level, a vital indicator of global climate change. The mission will return a vast amount of new data that will improve weather, climate and ocean forecasts http://globalwarming.livephotonotes.com/2008/06/26/nasa-launches-ocean-satellite-to-keep-a-weather-climate-eye-open/ Wilkins Ice Shelf has experienced further break-up with an area of about 160 km² breaking off from 30 May to 31 May 2008. ESA’s Envisat satellite captured the event – the first ever-documented episode to occur in winter. http://globalwarming.livephotonotes.com/2008/06/17/even-the-antarctic-winter-cannot-protect-wilkins-ice-shelf/ Yale University scientists reported that they may have resolved a controversial glitch in models of global warming: A key part of the atmosphere didn't seem to be warming as expected.  http://globalwarming.livephotonotes.com/2008/06/03/apparent-problem-with-global-warming-climate-models-resolved/ Plant-eating animals in highly seasonal environments, such as the Arctic, are struggling to locate nutritious food as a result of climate change, according to research that will be published in the 21 May 2008 online edition of the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Led by Penn State Associate ... http://globalwarming.livephotonotes.com/2008/05/28/climate-change-does-double-whammy-to-animals-in-seasonal-environments/ The sun has powered almost everything on Earth since life began, including its climate. The sun also delivers an annual and seasonal impact, changing the character of each hemisphere as Earth's orientation shifts through the year. Since the Industrial Revolution, however, new forces have begun to exert significant influence on ... http://globalwarming.livephotonotes.com/2008/05/14/solar-variability-striking-a-balance-with-climate-change/ Polar bears fighting for survival in the face of a rapid decline of polar ice have made the Arctic a poster child for the negative effects of climate change. But new research shows that species living in the tropics likely face the greatest peril in a warmer world. A team led ... http://globalwarming.livephotonotes.com/2008/05/08/trouble-in-paradise-global-warming-a-greater-danger-to-tropical-species/
