Independent: The warming of the oceans may become the greatest hidden challenge of our generation, a major new report has warned. The 456-page document, published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), describes the effects of the huge amount of energy that has been absorbed by the sea in recent decades. The scale of the changes is potentially huge affecting marine life from viruses, bacteria and plankton, fish and seabirds to the climate, weather and human health. A vast amount...

Global warming disrupts oceans, seen lingering in the depths
2016-09-05 21:16:00| 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,"...

Warming strengthens typhoons that batter Asian coast

New Scientist: Batten down the hatches. Typhoons pummelling the coastlines of east and South-East Asia have become more destructive in the past 40 years, and are likely to intensify further because of climate change. The region has recently suffered some of the world's most devastating typhoons, including Haiyan, which killed 6340 people in 2013, and Morakot which killed 789 in 2009, both in the Philippines. A new study reveals that, on average, typhoons hitting the region have increased in intensity by 14...

Flooding of coast, caused by global warming, has already begun
2016-09-04 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Huge vertical rulers are sprouting beside low spots in the streets here, so people can judge if the tidal floods that increasingly inundate their roads are too deep to drive through. Five hundred miles down the Atlantic Coast, the only road to Tybee Island, Ga., is disappearing beneath the sea several times a year, cutting the town off from the mainland. And another 500 miles on, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., increased tidal flooding is forcing the city to spend millions fixing battered roads and...
