Climate Change Too Fast for Ectotherms?
2014-12-12 00:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Ecotherms like reptiles, amphibians and fish are normally able to adapt to changes in the climate, and have done so in the past, but this time around climate change may be moving too fast for these animals to keep up, a new study suggests. Many animals can adapt to a warming world by modifying the function of their cells and organs in order to compensate for such environmental shifts. But with the overall global temperature expected to climb 3.6 degrees Celsius (38.5 Fahrenheit) by the end of...

California's Drought: Don't Blame Climate Change, NOAA
2014-12-11 22:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: The NOAA has just released a new report on the historic drought that has been affecting California for the last three years. Stunningly, investigators are saying that human-driven climate change is not to blame, and it is instead the consequence of natural phenomena. That comes as a big surprise, even for experts, as the ongoing drought was recently revealed to be the worst the region has seen in more than a millennium, with 2014's summer being the driest seen in a whopping 1,200 years. So...

Dried Out Amazon Could Speed Up Climate Change
2014-12-11 18:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A new NASA-funded study has found that a dried out Amazon, which has experienced a decline in rainfall over the last decade, could speed up global climate change due to the subsequent drop in vegetation. And global climate models predict that things are only going to get more arid for the region in the future. The Amazon's tropical rainforests are one of the largest sinks for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) on the planet. They store an estimated 120 billion tons of Earth's carbon - that's...

International law stays silent responsibility for climate change
2014-12-11 18:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Climate change hurts innocent people. It puts ordinary people, who for the most part have not contributed in any way to global warming, at extraordinary risk. The IPPCs Climate Change 2014 Synthesis report makes for sobering reading when they write about the consequences of climate change: injury and death due to more intense heat waves and fires; floods and droughts, and a rise in foodborne and waterborne diseases. This risk is not just a matter of extreme weather events, such as the...
