Plymouth Herald: Britain's wildlife calendar is and will continue to be rewritten by climate change - something which could result in disruptive consequences for both plants and animals - a new study is warning. Researchers from the UK's Centre for Ecology & Hydrology have discovered that seasonal events -such as the timing of flowering in plants and breeding in birds - are generally more sensitive to temperature change, than to changes in rain and snowfall. According to the findings, published in journal Nature,...

The Future of the Food System : South Africa as a Case Study

Indra Stra: The Latin American/Asian food retail story that started in the mid 1990s, which featured waves of foreign direct investment by global multinationals such as Ahold, Walmart, and Carrefour, has recently begun in Africa and there are pockets of supermarkets growing in southern and eastern Africa [1,2]. According to a study by Reardon et al. [3], post-apartheid South Africa has become the African front-runner with roughly a 55 percent share of supermarkets in overall food retail. South African retailing...

Associated Press: A massive bloom of blue-green algae has hit four southern Florida counties, blanketing beaches in foul-smelling muck and raising health and environmental concerns. The green goo along Florida's "Treasure Coast" prompted Gov. Rick Scott to declare a state of emergency in Martin and St. Lucie counties earlier this week, and he later added Lee and Palm Beach counties. Scott "blamed the federal government for neglecting repairs to the lake's aging dike that's considered one of the country's most at-risk...

Study: climate change warming Asian waters, altering monsoon
2016-07-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Each year as temperatures rise across India, farmers look to the sky and pray for rain. The all-important monsoon forecast becomes a national priority, with more than 70 percent of India's 1.25 billion citizens engaged in agriculture and relying on weather predictions to decide when they will sow their seeds and harvest their crops. But getting the forecast right remains a challenge, thanks to the complex -- and still poorly understood -- ways in which South Asia's monsoon rains are influenced...

Bobcats moving north, climate change study finds
2016-07-02 04:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Prince George Citizen: Climate change could contribute to bobcat populations shifting north and one B.C. student is turning to citizen science to help prove his hypothesis. Before T.J. Gooliaff started his research in September, he believed the bobcat's northern limit was Williams Lake but conversations with foresters, trappers and residents have reported sightings in Quesnel, Prince George and Houston. "I jumped out of my chair when those photos were sent to me," said Gooliaff, a 24-year-old biology masters student...
