Does climate change make it immoral to have kids?

Guardian: The decision whether or not to have a child is one of the bigger ones a person will make in life often the biggest. I needed some strong convincing from my wife when it came time for us to make it. Most of my reluctance was self-interested: I liked my life well enough, and I didnt want to change it. My wife talked about feeling a biological imperative, which I had no answer for. Who was I to stand in the way of something like that? I signed on. But there is a whole other potential person...
Climate change is sucking the Colorado River dry
2016-04-02 13:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateCentral: Even as the number of Americans relying on the Colorado River for household water swells to about 40 million, global warming appears to be taking a chunk out of the flows that feed their reservoirs. Winter storms over the Rocky Mountains provide much of the water that courses down the heavily tapped waterway, which spills through deep gorges of the Southwest and into Mexico. But flows in recent decades have been lighter than would have been expected given annual rain and snowfall rates - and...

NASA Maps Miles Of Fungi Networks To Predict Which Forests Will Survive Climate Change
2016-04-02 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inquisitr: There is an entire world beneath the soil, an intricate network of fungi that stretch for miles in immense communities. In a forest, this fungi plays a critical role in the ecosystem and may help scientists map the effect climate change has on the Earth`s precious trees. The underground forest of fungi can be mapped from space, and NASA`s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has gotten involved in an exhaustive attempt to map these huge fungal networks using satellites, United Press International reported....

Fungi can help NASA deduce how climate change affects forests

Engadget: A team from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has developed a new method to detect what kind of mycorrhizae are attached to the roots of trees using only satellite images. Mycorrhizae are fungi that form mutually beneficial relationships with the roots of trees, increasing the plants' absorption capability and providing them with direct access to sugars. There are two types of mycorrhizae, and each tree/plant species is only associated with either one of them. Since the two respond differently to...

Canada: Catherine McKenna: 'Climate Change Is Not A Partisan File'

Canadian Press: Federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna says her role is as a "kind of convener" among disparate factions of the progressive push for climate policies. McKenna appeared Friday at a panel discussion on environmental policy at the Progress Summit hosted by the Broadbent Institute, a left-leaning think tank. She was joined on the stage by Alberta Environment Minister Shannon Phillips and Vancouver city councillor Andrea Reimer, a lineup that illustrated there's no unanimity of thought on...
