[NEWS] A new study of marine organisms that make up the 'biofouling community' - tiny creatures that attach themselves to ships' hulls and rocks in the ocean around the world - shows how they adapt to changing ocean acidification. Reporting in the journal Global Change Biology, the authors examine how these communities may respond to future change. There is overwhelming evidence to suggest the world's oceans are becoming, and will continue to become more aci…

Mashable: The past two weeks have brought new signs that global warming is not only continuing, but may in some respects be accelerating. Three independent agencies in the United States and Japan made the announcement that 2014 was most likely the warmest year on record since at least 1880, and very likely for several millennia before that. The only major land mass that featured relatively cool temperatures for the year -- but still warmer than average -- was parts of the U.S. and Canada. There was also...
