Global warming 'fuel migration, terrorism'
2015-07-13 16:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Global warming-induced food and water shortages may cause mass migration, competition for resources and state failure, providing fertile ground for conflict and terrorism, analysts warned Monday. In a report entitled: "Climate Change, A Risk Assessment", a global team of scientists, policy analysts and financial and military risk experts painted a grim picture of mankind's future on a much warmer planet. As rising temperatures and sea levels shrink areas of productive land, humans will have...

Buzzkill: global warming shrinks range pollinating bumblebees
2015-07-10 00:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Global warming is shrinking the terrain where bumblebees live in North America and Europe, with these vital pollinators departing the southernmost and hottest parts of their ranges while failing to move north into cooler climes, scientists say. Their study, published on Thursday, used records from 1901 to 2010 to track 67 bumblebee species, finding that the insects have surrendered about 185 miles (300 km) from the southern end of the regions they called home on both continents. The researchers...

Global warming likely damaged oceans permanently

WPTV: What would it take to save the oceans? Thirty percent of atmospheric carbon dioxide is absorbed by the worlds oceans, and the authors of a new study say we need to focus on these ecosystems before its too late. (Video via CBS) An international team of researchers published evidence Friday that suggests preventing permanent damage to the oceans would require immediate and substantial cuts to worldwide carbon emissions. The Copenhagen Accord, which calls for drastic emissions cuts all over the...

Global warming may threaten shellfish industries

ScienceDaily: Climate change models predict that sea temperatures will rise significantly, including in the tropics. In these areas, rainfall is also predicted to increase, reducing the salt concentration of the surface layer of the sea. Together, these changes would dramatically affect the microscopic communities of bacteria and plankton that inhabit the oceans, impacting species higher up the food chain. Worryingly, future conditions may favour disease-causing bacteria and plankton species which produce toxins,...

Global Warming Threatens Colder Climate for Europe
2015-07-03 15:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News: Scientists have yet again warned that weakening ocean circulation in the North Atlantic could deliver a climate paradox-a colder Europe as a consequence of global warming. A study published in Nature Climate Change found that as sea ice off Iceland and Greenland retreats, the flow of cold, dense water to the bottom of the North Atlantic ocean could be reduced, and therefore weaken the warming effects of the Gulf Stream. The great submarine current-sometimes called the Atlantic Conveyor-flows...
