Equator Prize Protects Amazons Center of the Earth
2015-10-02 20:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: As I traveled by boat down the Xingu River to visit indigenous villages that would have been flooded by the massive Belo Monte Dam, I came to understand why the local people thought of their land as the Center of the Earth. The massive rivers, seemingly eternal jungle and liquid blue-grey sky made me feel as if I was heading farther into the center of a lush, green ecosystem that was bigger and more encapsulating than the word ecosystem can describe. Though threatened by exploitation for its...

Reuters: People in heavily populated Pacific and Indian Ocean coastal regions beyond the tropics should take heed, U.S. scientists said on Wednesday, because tropical cyclones increasingly are packing their biggest punch farther from the equator. Over the past 30 years, the location where these powerful storms reach their maximum intensity has shifted away from the equator and toward the poles in both the northern and southern hemispheres at a rate of about 35 miles (56 km) per decade, they said. That...

Climate Change Threatens Fish Living Near the Equator
2014-02-16 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Lying in a hot bath may be a pleasant experience, because you can always get out when you've had enough. For some of the fish that swim in equatorial seas, though, that is not an option: climate change threatens to make the water not just uncomfortable, but unendurable. Many species of fish living near the Equator are sensitive to variations in heat and will not thrive in the warmer oceans of the future, scientists in Australia have found. An international team of researchers based in Australia...
