For Wyoming, Climate Change Is Now

Slate: In 2014, I wrote about the Wyoming state Legislature actively moving to suppress real science education when it came to global warming. As I said, Science itself has many laws, but it doesn't give a damn about ours. Advertisement Those words still echo loudly when it comes to Wyoming. A new research paper has come out showing that snow melt in the northwest region of that state is occurring earlier all the time, exactly as you'd expect with warmer winters and spring. The scientists used...

Warmer seas 'will change British diet'

BBC: Warming seas will push traditional fish favourites off the British menu, a study suggests. Fish such as haddock, plaice and lemon sole will decline as the North Sea warms by a predicted 1.8 degrees over 50 years, say scientists. But other species such as John Dory and red mullet will shift their range into UK waters, according to modelling work. Consumers wishing to eat locally-caught fish will need to change their diet, say University of Exeter researchers. The classic fish and chips...

PRI: The Obama administration recently announced new rules to regulate fracking. But no one, it seems, is entirely happy with them. Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is the process of drilling and injecting fluids into the ground at high pressure to break up shale rock formations and release natural gas that's trapped inside. The practice has helped make the United States the worlds top producer of oil and gas, and has spurred an economic boom in places like North Dakota. But its also become a prime...
Climate change is a threat to national security

Seattle Times: TODAY, there is a growing consensus that climate change will impact every corner of the world. Drought, floods, wildfires, population migration, food and water shortages, and extreme weather events: All of these issues can force national security emergencies and international crises that will demand a military response. In 2013, U.S. Navy Adm. Samuel J. Locklear, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, identified climate change as the Pacific regions biggest long-term security threat. He said...

Volunteers helping study climate change in Joshua Tree
2015-04-12 18:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Desert Sun: Carrying notebooks and GPS devices, researchers walked through the desert of Joshua Tree National Park conducting a scientific survey, methodically scanning the ground for lizards. Leading the group were ecologists from UC Riverside. But the rest of the researchers were "citizen scientists" volunteers from Maine, Minnesota and Canada who signed up through the Earthwatch Institute to support a week of scientific research in the desert. The volunteers have been providing critical support for...
