Climate Change Is Cutting Humans Work Capacity
2013-02-25 01:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: It's not just the heat, it's the humidity that gets you. That's the conclusion of a new study that finds climate change has reduced humanity's ability to work by making the planet hotter and muggier. That one-two punch has already cut the world's working capacity by 10 percent since humans began burning large amounts of oil, gas, coal and other fossil fuels at the start of the Industrial Revolution, found the analysis, which was published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change. By 2200,...

Researchers give animals the ability to feel infrared light; humans next
2013-02-14 18:07:52| Extremetech
Researchers from Duke University have given a rat the ability to feel infrared light. Outfitted with with a head mounted sensor and stimulating electrodes placed in the touch area of its cortex, the rat learned to navigate to a reward when it was tipped off with the otherwise invisible light. To understand the method to this new rodent madness, we need to understand a bit about Miguel Nicolelis, the man behind all of this.
Polar bears may require feeding by humans because of ailing ecosystem, researchers say

Toronto Star: Please feed the bears. That may be the new advice to heed after a dozen polar bear experts wrote a policy paper about the imminent problems facing the species due to rapid ecosystem changes in the Arctic. In every nature park, there are signs up saying dont feed the wildlife, said University of Albertas biologist Andrew Derocher, an expert on management of large Arctic mammals. Were not there yet, but we have to start looking at policy decisions and begin discussing options. Were...

Polar bears 'may need to be fed by humans'
2013-02-07 13:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: The day may soon come when some of the 19 polar bear populations in Canada, Alaska, Greenland, Norway, and Russia will have to be fed by humans in order to keep them alive during an extended ice-free season or prevent them from roaming into northern communities. Some bears may have to be placed in temporary holding compounds until it is cold enough for them to go back onto the sea ice. In worst-case scenarios, polar bears from southern regions may have to be relocated to more northerly climes that...
