Scientific American: Whats the best idea for reducing the impacts of ocean acidification on the environment and society? After all, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere continue to go up and up and up, which suggests that the pH of seawater will continue to fall and fall and fall. The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation has weighed in with its opinion: genetics for coral. Heres how the winning scientists Ruth Gates of the University of Hawaii at Manoa and Madeleine von Oppen from the Australian Institute of Marine...

Genetic modification proposed to save endangered species
2013-09-26 08:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Genetic modification of animals so that they can deal with changing climate and habitats may be the only way to save some of the most endangered species from becoming extinct, according to biologists who want to start a debate on how to stem species loss. Biologist Michael Thomas said conservationists needed to debate what he and his colleagues called "facilitated adaptation', which involved rescuing populations or species by introducing gene variants that allow them to survive in changing temperatures...
