Sea-level rise happening faster on Maui
2013-08-30 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Maui TV: Sea-level rise (SLR) has been isolated as a principal cause of coastal erosion in Hawai?i. Differing rates of relative SLR on the islands of O?ahu and Maui remain as the best explanation for the difference in island-wide shoreline trends (that is, beach erosion or accretion) after examining other influences on shoreline change including waves, sediment supply and littoral processes, and anthropogenic changes. Researchers from the University of Hawai?i at Manoas School of Ocean and Earth Science...

Daily Mail: American scientists claim the planet is undergoing one of the largest changes in climate in the past 65 million years. Climatologists at Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment have warned the likely rate of change over the next century will be at least 10 times quicker than any climate shift since the dinosaurs became extinct. If the trend continues at its current rapid pace, it will place significant stress on terrestrial ecosystems around the world, and many species will need to make...

Climate change is happening too quickly for species to adapt
2013-07-14 01:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Among the many strange mantras repeated by climate change deniers is the claim that even in an overheated, climate-altered planet, animals and plants will still survive by adapting to global warming. Corals, trees, birds, mammals and butterflies are already changing to the routine reality of global warming, it is argued. Certainly, countless species have adapted to past climate fluctuations. However, their rate of change turns out to be painfully slow, according to a study by Professor John Wiens...
