New research out of the University of British Columbia reveals that climate change -- and more specifically, warmer ocean temperatures -- could result in a large-scale shift of marine fish and invertebrates, notes a UBC news release. The tropics could be fishless by 2050, according to the researchers. The tropics will be the overall losers, William Cheung, a UBC associate professor and study co-author, said in...

Truthdig: Two separate studies have confirmed the extent of human influence on climate change-and, for once, carbon dioxide is not the usual suspect. One team has just found that air pollution dimmed the skies of northern Europe, reflected sunlight back into space, reduced evaporation, and increased river flow. The second group reports that similar aerosol pollution had a quite different effect on the Asian monsoons: in the second half of the 20th century, the darkening skies reduced temperatures and...
