Independent: Anyone who has ever slipped over on black ice in the dead of winter will attest to how dangerous it is. But a darkening of the Greenland ice sheet could impact upon the entire world, as the hastening trend reduces the Arctics ability to reflect sunlight and increases global warming. The worlds leading expert on the ice that covers the huge expanse of Greenland has told The Independent that he was stunned to see how much darker it has become in the past year warning it could start a hugely...

National Journal: A top White House adviser said President Obama will use next week's United Nations climate summit in New York City to push initiatives aimed at helping nations bolster their defenses against climate-related risks. "He'll be making a number of announcements that put America squarely on the side of building global resilience, trying to provide public goods to countries around the world, some of whom can't afford to build the kind of resilient tools they need to anticipate the effects of climate...

2014-09-17 19:48:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Sharks exposed to ocean water acidified by too much carbon dioxide alter their behavior, swimming in longer spurts than sharks in typical ocean water, particularly during their nighttime wanderings. The new findings, published in the journal Biology Letters, are troubling, given that one effect of the human consumption of fossil fuels is to make ocean water more acidic. If fossil fuel burning continues as is, sharks may face even more challenges than they do today -- when a quarter of species...

Greenwich Time: Imagine never again hearing the ethereal four-syllable call of the veery, that small forest thrush that sings in the summertime in Greenwich's woodlands. Try to picture life in Greenwich without the blue-winged warbler, a favorite of local bird watchers, or the dunlin -- a shorebird seen in both spring and fall at Greenwich Point. It could happen. According to a recent report by the National Audubon Society, these birds are just a few of the local species that may disappear from Greenwich and its...

Report: Global warming threatens Vermont birds
2014-09-13 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
WCAX: A new study by the National Audubon Society paints a bleak picture for birds. The report indicates numerous extinctions are likely if global temperature increases are not stopped. The new Audubon report says nearly half the bird species in the continental United States and Canada are at risk, including the bald eagle and the common loon. "It is alarming," said Jim Shallow of Audubon Vermont. "We are seeing that over 300 species of bird are projected to be threatened or at risk of extinction...
