Nearly All Meteorologists Accept The Fact That Climate Change Is Happening
2016-03-25 19:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: Among climate scientists, there`s a consensus that climate change is real and driven by human activity. Among meteorologists and weathercasters, however, that acceptance of climate science has historically been harder to find. That may have finally changed. Some 99 percent of U.S. weathercasters - those who communicate weather forecasts on TV or radio, but who aren`t always trained meteorologists - accept the fact that climate change is happening, according to preliminary findings from a George...

Independent: Wine production will be severely hampered by climate change in the long run, according to new research. The rise in global temperatures has seen the European wine industry enjoy a boom in recent years with better quality grapes being harvested but it will not last forever. In western Europe, the best wines are produced in hot summers when end-of-season droughts are followed by heavy spring rains. Indian summers reduce surface moisture and dry out the soil which makes the grapes ready for...

Tropical species are especially vulnerable to climate change
2016-03-25 13:48:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Changes in temperature and weather patterns pose a serious threat to the millions of animal, plant and fungi species found in the tropics. In an article published in Science, lead authors and biology Ph.D. students Timothy Perez and James Stroud explain how species found in environments such as the tropics have lower tolerances to climate change. With greater amounts of thermally sensitive species than environments found at higher latitudes, the threat of global climate change puts tropical species...
