Climate Change and Killer Bees: Northward Expansion in California
2015-09-15 01:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: The Africanized honey bee is a hybrid of the European and African honey bees. It was introduced to California in 1994, and has been rapidly expanding ever since. This "killer bee"--so-called because they attack intruders in numbers much greater than the European honey bees do--was recently seen as far north as California's Delta Region, according to University of California-San Diego researchers. "Our study shows that the large majority of bees one encounters in San Diego County are Africanized...

MIT study shows climate change mitigation potential of geoengineering oceans
2015-09-14 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Like the leaves of New England maples, phytoplankton, the microalgae at the base of most oceanic food webs, photosynthesize when exposed to sunlight. In the process, they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, converting it to carbohydrates and oxygen. Many phytoplankton species also release dimethyl sulfide (DMS) into the atmosphere, where it forms sulfate aerosols, which can directly reflect sunlight or increase cloud cover and reflectivity, resulting in a cooling effect. The ability of phytoplankton...
