Stevens Point Journal: A professor from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point traveled with one of his former students to Greenland over the summer to study peregrine falcons and document changes in their lives caused by climate change. Biology professor Bob Rosenfield traveled with alumna Maddie Hardin to Greenland for two weeks to document the ages of nestling peregrines, based on the development of their feathers, and compared the data to information collected in previous years. Rosenfield said he believes the...

Business Insider: The world is getting warmer and that's already causing disasters that will devastate lives and cost hundreds of billions of dollars. Those problems are only getting worse, as shown by recent reports from the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC) and the White House, among others. The greenhouse gas emissions that drive warming "now substantially exceed the highest concentrations recorded in ice cores during the past 800,000 years," the IPCC said. Atmospheric carbon dioxide...

Effects of rising sea levels likely to vary along NC coastline
2014-09-25 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
News and Observer: North Carolina scientists on a panel tasked with predicting future sea levels expect the Atlantic Ocean to rise between 4 inches and 11 inches on the state's coast over the next three decades. But the effect of rising sea levels will be much less pronounced in Wilmington than in northern coastal areas, likely resulting in as many as four sea-level predictions for different parts of the North Carolina's coastline. The science panel, which met Wednesday, must issue its projections by Dec. 31. The...
