EU Funded Greens Sue EU Over Withheld Biofuels Docs

I recently blogged about the 10 Green groups funded to lobby the EU: The EU’s 10 Green Friends in Lobbying-Funding Loop
Now we have the press release below from ‘Transport & Environment’ involving  4 of the 10 Green groups:
Green groups sue Commission over withheld biofuels docs
On Monday 8 March 2010, a coalition of environmental groups filed [...]

Global Warming Has No Impact on Himalayas

Senior scientists at the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology (WITG) has rejected the Global Warming Theory and told that the Himalayas are quite safer zone on earth, where Global Warming has no role in controlling the conditions.
In an exclusive chat with HT, Director WIHG Dr AK Dubey has said that the conditions of Himalayas are [...]

Ancient Corals Survived Massive Environmental Changes

Fossil corals, up to half a million years old, are providing fresh hope that coral reefs may be able to withstand the huge stresses imposed on them by today’s human activity.
Reef ecosystems were able to persist through massive environmental changes imposed by sharply falling sea levels during previous ice ages, an international scientific team has [...]

Clamshells Trump Tree-Rings as a Temperature Proxy?

Nature News reports on a new PNAS paper by Patterson et al that uses clamshells in order to reconstruct temperatures in Northwest Iceland over a 2000 year period up to the year 1660:
Most measures of palaeoclimate provide data on only average annual temperatures, says William Patterson, an isotope chemist at the University of Saskatchewan in [...]

Ships Stuck in Worst Baltic Sea Ice for 15 Years

Thousands of passengers reportedly are stuck along with the ships ferrying them in Baltic Sea ice between Stockholm and the Aland Islands, located between Sweden and Finland. Both countries have sent icebreakers to rescue the ships in what is being called the worst Baltic freeze in 15 years.
Four ferries of the Viking Line, which routinely [...]

Hydrothermal Vents Discovered Off Antartica

ScienceDaily (Mar. 4, 2010) — Scientists at Columbia’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory have found evidence of hydrothermal vents on the seafloor near Antarctica, formerly a blank spot on the map for researchers wanting to learn more about seafloor formation and the bizarre life forms drawn to these extreme environments.
Hydrothermal vents spew volcanically heated seawater from the [...]

Mass Loss from Alaskan Glaciers Overestimated?

ScienceDaily (Mar. 3, 2010) — The melting of glaciers is well documented, but when looking at the rate at which they have been retreating, a team of international researchers steps back and says not so fast.
Previous studies have largely overestimated mass loss from Alaskan glaciers over the past 40-plus years, according to Erik Schiefer, a [...]

Treelines Not Universally Responding to Climate Warming

WASHINGTON – In a new research, scientists have found that treelines are not universally responding to climate warming by advancing as expected.
Treelines are the elevation or latitudinal limits where trees are capable of growth or survival and are considered to be early indicators of climate warming because they are constrained primarily by cold temperatures.
Summer temperature [...]

Do Short Global Warm Periods Herald Transition to Glacial Epochs?

Halle (Saale)/Leipzig/Moscow. At the end of the last interglacial epoch, around 115,000 years ago, there were significant climate fluctuations. In Central and Eastern Europe, the slow transition from the Eemian Interglacial to the Weichselian Glacial was marked by a growing instability in vegetation trends with possibly at least two warming events. This is the finding [...]

Polar Bears Survived Previous Global Warming Periods

Polar bears may have come into existence only 150,000 years ago, when brown bears were trapped by an ice age and had to adapt quickly to survive, scientists have found.
The suggestion follows the discovery of the jawbone of an animal that died up to 130,000 years ago, making it the oldest polar bear fossil found. [...]
