Blue and Green: Approximately half of North Americas 650 bird species, including the bald eagle, will be disrupted by climate change over the next 65 years, a new report has found, with some expected to go extinct. The report, published by the National Audubon Society, has described the shrinking habitats and ranges of bird species to be a crisis scenario for North Americas diverse ecology. Some 126 species are expected to lose over 50% of their current ranges, in some cases the figure is 100%. However, whilst...

In an interview Tuesday during a gathering of power industry executives at the Gideon Putnam Hotel, Browner said the time has come to "double down" on nuclear power as...

Researchers link climate change, vegetation and water

Merced Sund-Star: As the climate warms, sources of the water so critical to life everywhere on Earth are drying up. By the end of this century, communities dependent on fresh water from mountain-fed rivers could see significantly less water, according to a new climate model recently released by University of California researchers. For example, people who get fresh water from the Kings River could see a 26 percent decrease in river flow. Why? Think of the environment to which humans are accustomed as a huge jigsaw...
