Study reveals impacts of climate warming and declining sea ice on Arctic whale migration
2016-11-16 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Declines in the Arctic sea ice are arguably the most dramatic evidence of the effects of current climate warming on ocean systems. Native peoples of the far north have long appreciated and relied upon the migrations of animals with the changing seasons, including some of the largest and least studied, the Arctic whales. While sea ice is perhaps the most defining feature of their habitat, the relationship between Arctic whales and sea ice is still largely a mystery, and there is in…
Limiting the planet to 1.5° of warming is crucial, but it won't be easy

Scientific American: Astonishment was universal last December when the Paris Agreement on climate change included the aspiration to limit warming to 1.5° C above pre-industrial levels, a much tougher target than the standard of 2°, now seen as too risky. It was a remarkable triumph for a long campaign by the small island states, proving that even tiny nations with a powerful moral case can change the world. But what does a global aim of 1.5° mean? Is it achievable? How much difference would it make? A conference...
Bjrn Lomborg Centre got $640,000 for report saying limiting warming rise to 2C not worth it

Guardian: Australias education department paid Bjrn Lomborgs Copenhagen Consensus Centre $640,000 to help produce a report that claimed limiting world temperature increases to 2C was a poor use of money. The $640,000 cost, incurred before the CCCs controversial $4m Australian program was junked, is revealed in the 2016 incoming ministerial brief published under freedom of information laws. An education department spokeswoman told Guardian Australia the $640,000 represented the Australian government...
