How warmer temps, higher C02 will affect your corn, soybeans
2015-03-19 19:25:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
If Midwestern night temperatures rise by 9 degrees by 2100, as many climate scientists predict, the corn yield/July temperature relationship from Indiana suggests a yield decrease of 2.1 bushels per acre for every degree Fahrenheit increase. read more

In warmer climate, a bid to preserve trees threatened by emerald ash borer
2015-03-09 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
MPR: In Minnesota, infestations have been found in the Twin Cities and in the state's southeastern corner. In northern Minnesota, where there are more than one million acres of black ash forest containing nearly a billion trees, researchers say the threat is made worse by a changing climate. Research suggests the pest is only kept at bay when temperatures dive 30 below zero. "We're likely to have less and less winters reaching that extreme cold temperature," U.S. Forest Service researcher Brian...

Disease-Carrying Ticks Expand Range and Emerge Earlier in Warmer Climate
2015-02-18 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Warmer spring temperatures in the northeastern U.S. are leading to shifts in the emergence of ticks that carry Lyme disease, and milder weather is allowing ticks to spread into new geographic regions, according to findings published this week. The data which span 19 years and include observations of more than 447,000 ticks show that the insects emerged nearly three weeks earlier in warmer years. And when fall temperatures were mild, a smaller percentage of larval ticks entered dormancy and waited...

Warmer Seas Linked To East Coast Hurricane Outbreaks
2015-02-11 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Christopher Columbus explored the New World during wildly tempestuous seafaring times. In the summer of 1502, during his final American voyage, for example, Columbus commanded his fleet to the shelter of an island, now home to Haiti, as a hurricane tore through. Three of the four ships broke anchor in the walloping winds. New research shows that hurricane activity picked up along the American East Coast after 1400, following spikes in nearby sea surface temperatures of up to 3.5°F, before waning...

Warmer, Drier Climate Locked In for Melbourne, Australia, Study Says
2015-01-27 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: Melbourne's climate can be expected to warm across all seasons, with less rainfall in winter and spring but more intense rain events, according to the latest projections by the CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology. The first update of the agencies' Natural Resource Management report since 2007 builds on improved modelling to project how the climate for the city and the country is likely to differ by 2030 and 2090. Since 2001, extreme heat records have exceeded cold records throughout Australia...
