Antarctic ice sheet is more vulnerable to carbon dioxide than expected

ScienceDaily: Results from a new climate reconstruction of how Antarctica's ice sheets responded during the last period when atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) reached levels like those expected to occur in about 30 years, plus sediment core findings reported in a companion paper, suggest that the ice sheets are more vulnerable to rising atmospheric CO2 than previously thought. Details appear in two papers in the current Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers led by Edward Gasson and...
A map of the most vulnerable places on the planet

Ars Technica: Climate change isn't just one, uniform transformation of the planet. Over time, some areas are going to get hotter, some wetter, some cloudierand vice versa. This map, produced using a new system for analyzing satellite data, reveals which parts of the planet will be most affected by these changes. Published in Nature, the map shows what the researchers call a vegetation sensitivity index (VSI). The VSI is a new measure of environmental vulnerability that combines several sources of data. The first...
Most vulnerable EU industries need 100 pct free carbon-France

Reuters: Energy intensive industries most likely to leave the European Union because of costs should get all of their EU Emissions Trading System permits free until other major blocs have a carbon price in place, France's economy minister said on Monday. The European Commission is revising its rules for handing out free permits to cushion energy intensive industries, such as the steel sector and oil refiners, from the expense of offsetting emissions on the ETS. French Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron...

U.S. seafood species highly vulnerable to climate change, study says
2016-02-07 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Carbon Brief: The celebrated seafood of the northeast US, such Maine lobster and New England clams, is under threat from warming temperatures and ocean acidification, a new study warns. Researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) assessed the potential climate impacts on 82 marine species that live in the northwest Atlantic Ocean. They found that species living on the seafloor, such as scallops, lobster and clams, and those that migrate between fresh and salt water, such as...

Countries with Least Emissions Most Vulnerable to Climate Change
2016-02-07 03:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Indian Times: Countries that emit the least amounts of greenhouse gases are ironically the most vulnerable to climate change effects such as increased frequency of natural disasters, changing habitats and human health impacts, a new study has found. Those countries emitting the highest amount of greenhouse gases are least vulnerable, researchers said. The study found that 20 of the 36 highest emitting countries - including US, Canada, Australia, China, and much of Western Europe - were least vulnerable. Eleven...
