CBS: New research shows that human impact on the climate will heavily influence marine habitats by 2100, supporting a study earlier this month that showed coral reefs could be extinct by 2050. Climate change triggered by greenhouse gas emissions will influence every corner of the world ocean by that time, the researchers say. They predict that the changes will impact the 470-870 million people who depend on the oceans for their livelihoods. "When you look at the world ocean, there are few places...

Guardian: Children will bear the brunt of the impact of climate change because of their increased risk of health problems, malnutrition and migration, according to a new study published on Monday. And food prices are likely to soar as a result of warming, undoing the progress made in combating world hunger. The findings are published as scientists began meeting in Stockholm to produce the most comprehensive assessment yet of our knowledge of climate change. Over the next five days, the Intergovernmental...

Reuters: Early action and more investments are needed to respond to the threats of climate change on the world's forests. It will probably cost less to adjust forest management strategies immediately to the impacts of climate change than to react to the aftermath of climate-inflicted damage, FAO said in its new Climate change guidelines for forest managers.Early action will also help to improve the livelihoods and food security of local communities. Decreased forest ecosystem services, especially water-cycle...

Inter Press Service: A debate is heating up here over the extent to which U.S. government-facilitated private-sector development investments should be required to take into account how those ventures impact on climate change. The discussions focus on a small and relatively little-known federal agency, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the government office in charge of mobilising private capital in pursuit of international development priorities. While OPIC generally receives high marks, in recent...

Impact of climate change growing in Ohio
2013-08-24 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Marion Star: When most people hear climate change, they think of claims that fossil fuel use and deforestation have resulted in stronger hurricanes, intense heat waves and drought. Many others look at such claims as junk science and scare tactics. But a certain amount of conjecture and debate on these matters is healthy. Its OK to be skeptical, but proof of climate change in Ohio can be found across the state. Algae growing in Lake Erie and other smaller inland lakes, buggy conditions earlier in the year,...
