Change in critical grasslands diminishing cattle production

ASU: Half of the Earths land mass is made up of rangelands, which include grasslands and savannas, yet they are being transformed at an alarming rate. Woody plants, such as trees and shrubs are taking over, leading to a loss of critical habitat and causing a drastic change in the ability of ecosystems to produce food specifically meat. Half of the Earth's land mass is made up of rangelands, which include grasslands and savannas, yet they are being transformed at an alarming rate. Woody plants, such...

Study finds link between Arctic change and extreme mid-latitude weather
2014-08-18 08:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: A team of researchers with members from Europe and the U.S. has found a possible link between Arctic amplification and severe weather in the northern mid-latitude parts of the planet. In their paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience, the researchers describe how they conducted a review of the findings of other researchers looking for a connection between Arctic warming and extreme weather events and what they found as a result. For the past several years planetary researchers have begun...

A climate change convention: Clive Palmer really knows how to mess with Abbotts mind
2014-08-18 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Conversation: Clive Palmer may have all sorts of motives but one surely is to drive Tony Abbott to distraction. As Palmer put it on Monday, after sending Joe Hockeys chief of staff Grant Lovett on his way to do more work on budget measures, the government had found it quite surprising that it did not have the power to govern that it had to go to PUP on things. Perhaps not so much surprising as infuriating and humiliating. Palmer announced, following his talks with the Hockey officials about the mining...

Europes Forests Suffer Effects of Climate Change
2014-08-16 16:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Climate change is here, it's happening now, and for the last few decades it has been demonstrably bad news for many of Europe's forests. A report published in the journal Nature Climate Change shows that damage from wind, bark beetles, and wildfires has increased significantly in Europe's forests in recent years. An international team of researchers say in a report from the European Forest Institute that climate change is altering the environment, and it is long-lived ecosystems like forests...

Extinction or 'translocation' as impacts climate change increase?
2014-08-16 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: Climate change is altering the way some scientists are trying to save endangered plant and animal species from extinction. For nearly 100 years, conservationists have focused preservation efforts on maintaining species' historical ranges and reintroducing captive-bred species to boost dwindling populations. Now, some scientists are experimenting with a new approach. "What's changed over the years is we introduce [species] into areas where they have never been before," said Philip Seddon an...
