Earth Axis Is Shifting & It's all Because Of Climate Change
2016-04-09 23:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Fayette Advocate: The movements of the Earth's axis are crucial to understand, since they affect the performance of satellites and global positioning systems. The study, published recently in the journal Nature Geoscience, also revealed that about half of the ice in north-central Greenland is resting on a thawed bed and that the meltwater is routed to the ocean through a dense hydrological network beneath the ice. The study doesn't say whether these climate changes are man-made but that they seem to be affecting...

Hungry penguins chase Antarctic's shifting krill

Agence France-Presse: Waddling over the rocks, legions of penguins hurl themselves into the icy waters of Antarctica, foraging to feed their young. Like seals and whales, they eat krill, an inch-long shrimp-like crustacean which forms the basis of the Southern Ocean food chain. But penguin-watchers say the krill are getting scarcer here around the western Antarctic peninsula, under threat from climate change and fishing. "Krill is the power lunch of the Antarctic. It's a keystone species for everybody," says...

"I think you`ve seen a very different framing of the oilsands nationally and internationally," said Andrew Leach, who led Alberta`s climate change advisory panel. It`s all part of a changing dialogue globally on greenhouse gas policy, he said in a recent interview, pointing to the Paris climate accord and a Canada-U.S. agreement...

Ancient bones point to shifting grassland species as climate changes
2016-03-26 16:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: More rainfall during the growing season may have led to one of the most significant changes in Earth's vegetation in the distant past, and similar climate changes could affect the distribution of plants in the future as well, a new study suggests. In a report in Science Advances, an analysis was done of mammoth and bison hair, teeth and bones, along with other data. It concludes that a changing climate -- particularly increasing rainfall and not just atmospheric carbon dioxide -- explains the expansion...
