Today: The increased likelihood of El Nino could hit Singapores coral reefs hard, say nature lovers, who have already observed signs of coral bleaching on the reefs dotting the offshore islands. With temperatures expected to rise about 1°C on average, as an NEA report issued last week showed, there is concern that the rate of coral bleaching, a phenomenon already plaguing reefs in local waters, will accelerate. El Nino is the abnormal warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean which, in the case of South-east...

Gazette-Times: How about a 24-inch rise in the sea level at Newport by 2100? Or an increase in temperature of up to 14 degrees Fahrenheit? Those are some of the possible effects of climate change in the Pacific Northwest, as outlined by Phil Mote, who helped to write the Northwest portion of the third national climate assessment that was released May 6. Mote is an Oregon State University professor and the director of the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute for the Oregon University System. During a one-hour...

Hotter climate could turn sea turtles all-girl
2014-05-18 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: Sea turtles are likely to be beneficiaries of a warming climate as hotter incubation conditions trigger a rising share of female hatchlings that could lift natural rates of population growth, new research to be published in Nature Climate Change on Monday shows. But gains will be temporary if temperatures keep rising and nudge populations towards becoming all female, or exceed levels at which developing embryos die, the study found. It will be end of story without human intervention. ''There'll...

Hotter nights may cause rice yields to fall
2014-05-17 08:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
SciDevNet: Nights are getting hotter and scientists are sweating over the possibility that rice yields may fall as a result. Decreasing rice harvests mean higher prices. That would be a scary scenario in Asia where rice is considered not only a basic food staple but also a political commodity. Shortages of the commodity in 2007-2008 angered consumers across the region and caused some governments to wobble. A 35-year climate trending by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) under its Long-Term Continuous...
Drier, Hotter, More Extreme Weather: How Climate Change is Already Affecting Oklahoma

National Public Radio: A new federal report bluntly warns that every region of the United States is already observing climate change-related affects to the environment and economy. In Oklahoma and other Great Plains states, climate change from carbon emissions is changing crop growth cycles, increasing energy and water demand, altering rainfall patterns and leading to more frequent extreme weather and climate events, the report concludes. The magnitude of those changes is expected to increase throughout Oklahoma`s region,...
