Environmental News Network: Global sea level rose faster in the 20th century than in any of the 27 previous centuries, according to a Rutgers University-led study published today. Moreover, without global warming, global sea level would have risen by less than half the observed 20th century increase and might even have fallen. Instead, global sea level rose by about 14 centimeters, or 5.5 inches, from 1900 to 2000. Thats a substantial increase, especially for vulnerable, low-lying coastal areas. The 20th-century...

EurekAlert: Fish and other important resources are moving toward the Earth's poles as the climate warms, and wealth is moving with them, according to a new paper by scientists at Rutgers, Princeton, Yale, and Arizona State universities. Climate change is forcing some species of migrating fish to shift their range toward the poles, which means big changes for people whose livelihoods depend on those fish. "What we find is that natural resources like fish are being pushed around by climate change, and that...

Guardian: The traffic generated by fracking in the UK would increase air pollution substantially at a local level at the busiest times, according to a study about the potential impact of lorry traffic. The research found that the number of tankers taking water to and from drilling sites would increase hourly levels of nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx) by as much as 30%. The study by a Newcastle University team, published in the journal Environment International on Wednesday, also said fracking traffic would...
