Viet Nam News: Climate change has gained recognition as an imminent danger, but the threat to existing fresh water resources requires more immediate attention. The United States and China won much world acclaim when they formally ratified the Paris agreement to curb climate-warming emissions on Saturday. Contributions by these powers, which account for nearly 40 per cent of global emissions, is a promising sign that the pact can take effect before the end of the year. Fifty-five nations covering at least...

Maritime Executive: A new International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) report, entitled Explaining ocean warming: causes, scale, effects and consequences, sets out the most recent and comprehensive review to date on this topic and shows a complex story of change in the ocean. This change is underway, often already locked in for many decades to come, and has already begun to impact people's lives, says IUCN. It is no longer a single story of ocean warming challenges to coral reefs, but a rapidly growing list...

Mother Nature Network: It seems like we learn something new every day about how climate change is wreaking havoc on our planet. And here today's statistic, one that will make you sit up in your chair: A staggering 40 percent of the planet's lizard populations will be extinct by 2080. Why? Because as global temperatures rise each year, these scaly critters are struggling to adapt their bodies' thermoregulatory processes to the new climate reality. What's more troubling is that a recent study examining thermoregulation...
Global warming disrupts oceans, seen lingering in the depths
2016-09-06 15:05:51| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Global warming is disrupting ocean life from plankton to whales and the heat may linger in the depths for centuries even if man-made greenhouse gas emissions are halted, an international study said on Monday. Rising temperatures in the seas were also having wider knock-on effects such as by disrupting rainfall patterns over land, spurring extreme weather events and aiding a spread of water-borne diseases, it said. "Ocean warming may well turn out to be the greatest hidden challenge of our generation,"...
