Motherboard: As our species finds itself staring down the barrel at widespread environmental collapse due to climate change, some of us have more to worry about than others. In particular, the Middle East and surrounding regions have been shown to be particularly vulnerable to climate change effects, especially those having to do with water: Within the last seven years the region has lost enough water to fill the Dead Sea and by 2040, 14 of the 33 most water stressed countries on Earth will be in the Middle East....

Hydrologist discusses impact of climate change on Utah's water supply

Fox: A new report released by the U.S. Department of the Interior says climate change is a growing risk to western water management. Most of Utahs water resources come from snowmelt, but, as Fox 13 News Max Roth shows us, snowmelt run-off is becoming less predictable. I think its hard to realize for most of us that live down here that water really is a limiting resource, said Paul Brooks, a hydrologist and professor in the University of Utahs department of Geology and Geophysics.

A newly discovered Alaskan butterfly may hold clues to climate change
2016-03-26 23:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Boston Globe: Researchers discovered a possible new butterfly species in Alaska and believe it could tell us more about the pace of climate change. The Tanana Arctic, or Oeneis tanana, probably evolved from a rare hybrid when two butterfly species mated before the last ice age, according to a study published this month in the Journal of Research on the Lepidoptera. While the butterfly could help shed light on the North American Arctic's geological history, it can also serve as a sort of canary in the coal...

In Antarctica, displaced penguins may be a sign of climate change

PRI: When researchers who study Adelie penguins in Antarctica returned to their study site to find most of the birds gone, the event made headlines. But the headlines were mostly wrong, according to the researchers. No one knows for sure what became of the missing birds, but Kerry-Jayne Wilson, one of the lead researchers and the author of a new paper about the event, wants to make one thing clear: I don't know where the 150,000 dead penguins came from. It didn't come from our paper, she says....
