The Supreme Court's new EPA case has more to do with climate change than you think

New Republic: The Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to review an Environmental Protection Agency regulation limiting how much mercury, arsenic, and other pollutants coal-fired power plants can emit. The case is clearly important because of the health benefits--humans exposed to mercury are at risk for a host of health conditions--but there is another issue at stake. The rule, known as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standard, (MATS) will help determine how many coal plants retire over the next few years, making it a...
Climate change: Global weather predicted to become increasingly extreme despite warnings

Independent: Global weather will become increasingly extreme, with the planet facing rising surfacing temperatures, higher sea levels and flash flooding. In the next 100 years the most vulnerable people, either elderly populations or those living in extreme poverty, will face increasing risk from shifting weather patterns, according to a report published by The Royal Society. The 124-page inquiry, Resilience to extreme weather, comprehensively details what we can expect in the coming 100-years and how best...

Polar bears facing 'worst-case trajectory' because of climate change

Toronto Star: Even the High Arctic wont remain a haven for polar bears if the Earth continues to warm at the current pace, says an alarming new study. Published in PLOS One, an online science journal on Wednesday, the study warns that all regions of Canadas Arctic islands could potentially be ice-free for two to five months every year by the end of the century, triggering starvation and reproductive failure for polar bears. Conditions outside the islands could be worse for the bears. It doesnt look...

Climate Change Threatens Bees: More Evidence

Nature World: With the threat neonicotinoid use poses to honeybees gaining international attention, researchers are now focused on finding other factors that are contributing to a worrying decline in bees across the globe. Climate change, they say, is certainly to blame, and parasites may be one reason why. That's at least according to a team of researchers at Queen's University Belfast, who have found evidence that the spread of an exotic parasite that threatens the UK's honeybee population could be sped up...

Climate change threatens honeybees: Study
2014-11-26 05:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Jagran Post: The gut parasite Nosema ceranae - which originates in Asia but can now be found worldwide - is likely to cause increasing damage to UK bees as the Earth heats up through climate change. The new finding suggests that this parasite not only has a superior competitive ability, but that its numbers could rise with climate change, researchers said. "This emerging parasite is more susceptible to cold than its original close relative, possibly reflecting its presumed origin in east Asia," co-author...
