Blue and Green: Climate change will present a severe threat to the iconic emperor penguin, as temperatures rise and the Antarctic sea-ice that the species depends on disappears, a new study has warned. In a new report, researchers from around the world have urged governments to list emperor penguins the worlds largest penguin species -- as endangered, even though their numbers are expected to rise in the coming decades. Despite optimistic short-term forecasts, the study suggests that all of the 45 known...

Our Inability To Deal With Climate Change Is Going to Kill Penguins

ClimateDesk: Move over, polar bears: Its time for Emperor penguins to become the new poster children of climate change. Recently, polar biologists at the University of Minnesota used satellite images of poop stains (scientists are nothing if not resourceful) to show that some colonies of Emperor penguins in Antarctica are uprooting historic nesting sites, possibly to escape warming temperatures. Today, a new study in Nature makes an even more grim prognostication about the future of the species: Thanks to declining...

Climate change will impact the tropics too: Study
2014-06-30 07:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Aaj Ki Khabar: Although greenhouse gases cause greater warming at the poles, few places on the earth will be immune to global warming and the tropics too will likely experience associated climate impacts, such as increased storm intensity, says a study. Tropical sea surface temperatures were warmer during the early-to-mid Pliocene - an interval spanning about five to three million years ago, the findings showed. "These results confirm what climate models have long predicted - that although greenhouse gases...

Hotter and larger tropics more vulnerable to climate change

Channel NewsAsia: Covering some 130 countries and territories around the Equator and situated between the Tropic of Cancer in the north and the Tropic of Capricorn in the south -- the tropics is expanding as climate change heats up the earth, turning more and more countries into a hot zone. It is a growing concern and Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi has called for people to be better carers of the environment as she launched the State of the Tropics Report in Myanmar. She said: "I'd like this report to be...
