The many signs of climate change in the far north

News-Miner: In anticipation of an arctic science conference happening next month in Fairbanks, an editor asked me to write a column on climate change in the North. I told her climate stability would be the bigger story, since basswood trees used to grow in Fairbanks and redwoods once dropped their cones into the Porcupine River. Climate is always changing. But we have gotten much better at measuring those changes. We people and our scientific instruments have now occupied the top of the globe for long...

ABC: The polar bear needs your help. Today is International Polar Bear Day, and it was started back in 2011 to celebrate and protect one of the world's largest and most threatened land predators. Polar Bears International began the observation and says the massive bears are threatened by climate change. Polar bears are found in arctic regions, including Alaska, Canada and Russia. Annually, sea ice around the North Pole is in decline, affecting quality of life for the polar bear. Polar Bears International...

These Native Americans Might Be the Country's First Climate Change Refugees

Vice: Sometime in the next few years, the remaining two dozen or so families of Louisiana's Isle de Jean Charles will pack up their stuff and leave for good. They'll leave behind homes that some of the Native American residents have lived in for generations, and they'll watch from afar as what's left of the island gets swallowed by the surrounding waters. "All of our history, all of our ancestral line -- that's where our people are buried. That's where our family members were born," island native...

Conde Neste: Leonardo DiCaprio has already gone home with a handful of trophies this awards season, thanks to his incredibly physical performance as a 19th-century frontiersman who can't seem to catch a break in The Revenant. In search of the best locations to stage icy battles with fur traders and crawl bloodied through the snow, director Alejandro González Iárritu brought the cast and crew across hemispheres. And an elated DiCaprio, shortly after his SAG win for best actor on Saturday, was more than happy...

Researchers create 'cyberforests' to predict climate change
2016-02-27 15:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Zee News: In the wake of global warming and considering the fact that it takes Mother Nature 1,000 years to grow a forest, researchers have created the world's first cyberforest to help predict the effect of climate change. Researchers at Washington State University Vancouver created the first computer simulation that grows realistic forests down to the branches, leaves and roots of individual trees. The model, which they called LES, uses recent advances in computing power to grow 100×100-meter stands...
