RedOrbit: Hundreds of thousands of volunteer data collectors are due for some thanks from scientists, according to a new paper that reveals the role of citizen science in studies of birds and climate change. Data collected by amateurs underpins up to 77 percent of the studies in this field, but that fact is largely invisible by the time the research appears in journals, according to a study published today in the open-access journal PLOS ONE. Our paper is a chance to say thank you to the many people who...

Overfishing, climate change take toll on coral

Poughkeepsie Journal: Climate change has been blamed for the rapid decrease in coral cover in the Caribbean over the past few decades. But new research suggests the effects of pollution and overfishing may have been underrated. This is good news, experts say, because these problems are easier to address and reverse. Climate change threatens coral reefs because ocean acidification restricts coral growth and extreme heat events can cause coral bleaching. But, a three-year multi-institutional report found that the biggest...

BusinessGreen: UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has warned that "time is running out" to tackle escalating climate risks, warning it will cost far more to try and adapt to climate impacts later this century than it will to try to curb greenhouse gas emissions now. Writing on Huffington Post yesterday ahead of the meeting of world leaders that he is convening later this month to discuss the global response to climate change, Ban reiterated his view that climate change is already having negative impacts on the...
Michigan Senate race: Can outsider millions make climate change an issue?

Christian Science Monitor: Green groups are pouring millions into the Michigan Senate race, running TV advertisements about climate change and pollution that attack the Republican and support the Democrat. But its unclear whether the climate messaging has had any effect. In fact, recent polls show that Democratic Rep. Gary Peters's lead is shrinking, with Republican Terri Lynn Land trailing a mere six percentage points. Other polling indicates the race is even tighter. So why harp on climate change if its not necessarily...
