Warmer years linked to more malaria in tropical highlands

SciDevNet: People in densely populated highlands of Africa and South America who have so far been protected from malaria by cooler temperatures may be seeing more of the disease as the climate changes, according to a study in Science (6 March). Mountainous regions with relatively cold climates that are unsuitable for the malaria parasite and the mosquitoes that transmit but there have been indications, for example from modelling studies, that with climate change this protection will wear off. Now scientists...

Newest Climate Change Victim: Fish Are Being Stunted by Warmer Oceans
2014-03-12 20:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
TakePart: Warming oceans arent just shifting the migration patterns of some of our favorite fish; scientists say climate change may be stunting fish sizes too. Widely consumed North Sea species, including haddock, whiting, herring, and others, have shrunk in size by as much as 29 percent over nearly 40 years, as water temperatures have increased between one and two degrees Celsius, researchers from the University of Aberdeen in Aberdeen, Scotland, revealed in a study published in the April issue of Global...

Warmer Temperatures Push Malaria to Higher Elevations
2014-03-06 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Researchers are reporting the first hard evidence that malaria, a mosquito-borne disease that infects more than 300 million people each year, creeps to higher elevations during warmer years and falls back down to lower altitudes when temperatures cool. "Traditionally, we think of malaria as a disease with limited prevalence in highland regions, but we are now seeing a shift due to climate change. Our latest research suggests that with progressive global warming, malaria will creep up the mountains...

Ice storm paradox: Colder because Earth is warmer
2014-02-14 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: With the American South locked in a deep freeze, you can be sure that plenty of the folks suffering through the snow and ice storms are interpreting the big chill as more proof that global warming is a hoax. "Warming?' they scoff. "How can the planet be warming when it's so darn cold?' People in other parts of the world seem to have no great difficulty understanding the science but, in the good old USA where quite a few people consider science just another political opinion, it is going to take...
