India: Climate change buffer and keeper of ecology balance

Times of India: As long as the 21st-century man will continue to tamper with natural buffers like the Aravali hills, hotter summers (and warmer winters) will become a way of life. The Aravali bionetwork has been around for aeons. "They're much more ancient than the Himalayas, and they're uniquely important," says Amina Shervani, a Gurgaon-based entrepreneur and land-rights activist. "We are fortunate to have something as the Aravallis next door." These hills, she explains, created a system of lakes where run-off...

Washington Times: The solitary, aggressive wolverine faces few threats in the wild even humans tend to give the remote creatures a wide berth but it does need snow to create dens. Hence a federal judges ruling this week ordering the Fish and Wildlife Service to reconsider its 2014 decision against listing the wolverine under the Endangered Species Act because the creature is under attack by global warming. No greater level of certainty is needed to see the writing on the wall for this snow-dependent species...

Plant Gases Could Slow Arctic Climate Change
2016-04-07 03:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sci-Tech Today: Plants release an array of gases called biogenic volatile organic compounds, or BVOCs, which work to attract beneficial insects and pollinators, while repelling pests. New research shows BVOCs are extremely sensitive to climate change and may help slow warming in the Arctic. When researchers from the University of Copenhagen exposed plants in the Arctic tundra to warmer temperatures, they found a dramatic increase in the release of BVOCs. "It seems that 3 to 4 times more biogenic volatiles are...
