Medical Press: Add another possible woe to the growing list of consequences of climate change: Kidney stones. A new study of American cities suggests that rising temperatures may increase the number of people who develop the painful urinary obstructions. "These findings point to potential public health effects associated with global climate change," study leader Dr. Gregory Tasian, a pediatric urologist and epidemiologist at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, said in a hospital news release. His...

Breeding Trees Better Adapted Warmer Climates

Nature World: Scientists have confirmed the function of a gene that controls the awakening of trees from winter dormancy, a discovery that may be the key to a world in which trees don't have to worry about adapting to warmer climates. The decade-long study, carried out by the University of Oregon, identified the EBB1 gene - or what they are calling the bud-break gene - involved in producing the first green leaves of spring. This gene is a master regulator in poplar trees (Populus species), and could pave the...

Warmer world to push sea turtle numbers up
2014-05-19 14:42:04| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Some like it hot While warming temperatures will produce more female than male sea turtle hatchings, sea turtle populations will not crash - at least for the next few decades, a new study suggests. In fact, sea turtle populations will increase because males breed more frequently than females, report researchers today in Nature Climate Change. Sex in many reptile species is determined by temperature during incubation. For sea turtles incubation temperatures below 29°C produce male hatchlings;...
