Daily Kos: The Arctic is the fastest warming region on earth. The polar bear, the iconic large mammal of the Arctic, is threatened by the warming-caused loss of Arctic sea ice because it hunts its primary prey, seals, from the ice. Climate change is forcing polar bears to change their diets from seals to bird eggs as summer sea ice retreats in the Arctic ocean. Hungry polar bears, unable to catch seals in the open Arctic ocean, have been observed devouring every egg on an island of nesting birds. One hungry...
Submarine melting gives rise to sea levels by chewing away the Greenland Ice Sheet

Mass Extinction of Large Ice Age Mammals Linked to Climate-Induced Vegetation Changes
2014-02-06 02:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: It is generally accepted that climate change led to the extinction of the mammoth and other large mammals following the last Ice Age, but an international team of researchers behind a new report in the journal Nature claims to have found the smoking gun that pinpoints which of climate change's myriad effects led to the mass extinction of large mammals. By analyzing sediment samples from more than 10,000 years ago and the gut contents of permafrozen woolly rhinos, mammoths and other extinct Ice Age...
