Climate change devastates Antarctic seabed ecosystems
2014-06-17 17:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Climate change is decimating populations of tiny species that live on the seabed of the Antarctic shore, threatening ecosystem stability and life higher up the food chain, scientists have warned. In a paper published on Monday in the journal Current Biology, scientists describe how the warming of Antarctic waters over the last two decades has allowed icebergs to drift more freely, battering the seabed as they do. This has made it harder for most species to prosper on the seabed where most...

West Antarctic ice collapse 'could drown Middle East and Asia crops'
2014-05-22 11:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The collapse underway of a large part of the Antarctica ice sheet could devastate global food supply, drowning vast areas of crop lands across the Middle East and Asia, according to new research. The report, Advancing Global Food Supply in the Face of a Changing Climate, urges the Obama Administration to step up research funding especially in developing countries to help make up a projected gap in future food supply. It also warns America's corn belt could face yield declines of more than...
