Examiner: An ever-growing mountain of facts and scientific studies to support man-made climate change--not to mention extreme weather incidents and changing seasonal patterns being experienced every day--wasnt enough information to keep the United States from taking the top spot in climate change denial, according to a UK Global Trends poll reported last week in EcoWatch that included 16,000 people in 20 countries. The US even beat Australia, which is unexpected since that country now has a climate change-denier...

Telegraph: Ocean temperatures have a soared to a seven-year high off southwest Britain - making our seas as hot as California. Marine scientists say the water has reached 20.4C (68.7F) off Start Bay, Devon, and 20.1C (68.2F) off Perranporth, Cornwall. That is even warmer than readings taken from Santa Monica beach in Los Angeles, where its currently lagging behind at 19.4C (66.9F) and only 8C short of the sea temperature in Bali. Temperatures off the British coast are also rising by almost 4C a month...

How Hotter Summers Are Putting Swimmers at Risk
2014-07-17 13:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ABC: As families flock to pools and lakes to cool off, experts are warning about a risky consequence of climate change: waterborne disease. Just last week, a 9-year-old girl from Johnson County, Kansas, died from primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, an extremely rare but almost invariably fatal brain infection caused by the freshwater amoeba Naegleria fowleri. Its a heat-loving amoeba, said Michael Beach, associated director for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Preventions healthy swimming...

Not an urban legend: Cities are hotter, and we know why
2014-07-10 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
USA Today: Scientists, for the first time, have a clearer picture of what causes the "urban heat island" effect, a common phenomenon that makes cities swelter by as much as 22 degrees more than the nearby countryside, especially at night in the summer. Previously, researchers thought that evaporation was the main reason why rural areas stay cooler than cities. (Evaporation, which absorbs heat energy, is greatly reduced when cement and concrete replace grass, trees and plants.) Study lead author Lei Zhao of...
Hotter and larger tropics more vulnerable to climate change

Channel NewsAsia: Covering some 130 countries and territories around the Equator and situated between the Tropic of Cancer in the north and the Tropic of Capricorn in the south -- the tropics is expanding as climate change heats up the earth, turning more and more countries into a hot zone. It is a growing concern and Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi has called for people to be better carers of the environment as she launched the State of the Tropics Report in Myanmar. She said: "I'd like this report to be...
