Global warming lethal to baby lizards: Nests become heat traps
2015-08-18 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: The expected impact of climate change on North American lizards is much worse than first thought. A team of biologists led by Arizona State University investigators has discovered that lizard embryos die when subjected to a temperature of 110 degrees Fahrenheit even for a few minutes. The researchers also discovered a bias in previous studies, which ignored early life stages such as embryos. Embryonic lizards are immobile and cannot seek shade or cool off when their surrounding soil becomes hot....

Saharan Heat Amped Up by Climate Change
2015-08-17 17:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Discovery News: The searing Sahara Desert is getting even hotter, at a rate two to four times greater than the rest of the tropics, say scientists in a new study. That puts it on par with the Arctic which is also exceeding the global warming average. But whereas the widely studied Arctic "amplification" melts sea ice and permafrost, the Sahara warming could be reducing the huge outflow of dust that blows off Africa and be causing big changes to regional weather -- and local people. "A lot of people live there...

Heat stress impact on subsequent growth and reproduction of offspring
2015-08-13 18:45:00| National Hog Farmer
All hog farms experience seasonal productivity lag and poorer reproductive performance during the hot days of summer. Heat stress can reduce feed intake, growth rate and reproductive performance. While swine herds of all sizes and stages of production are adversely affected by seasonal variation temperature, little tools are available to mitigate the impact. Therefore, the NPB has invested in research projects to lessen seasonal productivity lags. read more

Texas power demand breaks record again in heat wave
2015-08-11 20:26:10| Semiconductors - Topix.net
The Texas power grid operator said electric demand hit another record high on Monday as consumers cranked up their air conditioners to escape a brutal heat wave. Demand reached a record 69,783 megawatts on Monday, topping the previous records of 68,912 MW set on Aug. 6 and 68,459 MW on Aug. 5, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas said in a statement.
