Corals can survive warmer seas if humans don't meddle

New Scientist: Coral reefs might be able to take the heat of climate change -- if left well alone. A new study suggests reefs that are spared human interference can survive episodes of severe coral bleaching. When corals are stressed - by a sudden rise in the temperature of seawater or a change in its chemistry, for instance - they can no longer provide nutrients to the photosynthetic algae that live symbiotically within them. As a result the corals lose both the algae and their rich hues, which stem from the...

'Fattest' polar bears survive climate change

Telegraph: The polar bears of Hudson Bay, Canada migrate onto land in the summer when the sea ice melts, relying on fat reserves to survive until the sea re-freezes in late November or early December. During the winter and spring months they use the sea ice to hunt their prey of seals. But the bears were coming to land earlier and leaving later in recent years as a result of climate change which was reducing the ice, researchers writing in the Journal of Animal Ecology from the British Ecological Society...

Nature adapts to survive climate change
2013-03-17 17:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: While the climate change discussion in Washington is moving at a glacial pace, nature is responding to climate change at record speed. The animal, plant and insect kingdoms aren't interested in public policy. They don't read political blogs. They adapt because they have to. They must change to survive. We would be wise to heed the signs. Animals, plants and even insects are now adapting quickly to shifts in temperatures, often by migrating to cooler climates, modifying their diets and altering...

UK's Centre for Ecology and Hydrology says rainforests will survive climate change

Telegraph: NEW research has challenged "catastrophic" climate change forecasts for the world's tropical rainforests, instead predicting that they will survive even if greenhouse gas emissions aren't cut. An international team of computer climate modelling experts found rainforests in Asia, Africa and the Americas would not dramatically shrink, in contrast to warnings, including those from Australia's Chief Climate Commissioner Professor Tim Flannery, that global warming was a catastrophe for tropical rainforests....
