New framework sheds light on how, not if, climate change affects cold-blooded animals
2016-01-19 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Cold-blooded animals like lizards, insects and fish have a preferred body temperature range at which they hunt, eat, move quickly and reproduce. Fear that a warming climate will constrict this temperature range underlies recent studies that warn of the detrimental effects of climate change on the activity and survival of cold-blooded animals. While not contradicting these warnings, a new paper published in the latest issue of Ecology Letters offers a revised framework…

Agence France-Presse: When future generations write the history of humanity's faltering quest to repair Earth's climate system, 2015 will have its own chapter. Nature, along with the usually fractious family of nations, conspired to make it a landmark year: almost certainly the hottest on record for the planet as a whole, and a rare moment of unity when 195 states pledged to curb the carbon pollution that drives global warming. Whether the December 12 Paris Agreement is the key to our salvation or too-little-too-late...

Maximizing sea life ability to reduce atmospheric carbon may help combat climate change
2016-01-18 06:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: New research on West Antarctic seabed life reveals that the remote region of the South Orkney Islands is a carbon sink hotspot. The findings suggest that this recently designated (and world's first) entirely high seas marine protected area may be a powerful natural ally in combating rising CO2 as sea ice melts. "There has been a cascade of rising atmospheric CO2 driving warming, reducing sea ice, leading to longer micro-algal blooms--which means longer meal times for animals, which are growing more,"...
NBC could have asked Democratic candidates 1,000 smarter questions on climate change than this

New Republic: The Democratic base cares about climate change, so unlike at the GOP debates, networks have usually given Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Martin OMalley a throwaway question at debates. Thats not a reason to celebrate. It couldnt be clearer on Sunday night that NBC considers it irrelevant. The fourth debate, hosted by NBC and YouTube, gave only Sanders and OMalley less than two minutes combined to answer a question, after playing a lengthy cartoon video that explained climate change. A...
