Oceanic Acidification Ruining Digestion of Sea Urchins

Nature World: Researchers from Sweden and Germany have found that climate change and ocean acidification is ruining the digestive systems of marine animals. They conducted the study on a larval stage of green sea urchins Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis. The research shows that marine animals can't digest food in acidic environment. Ocean acidification is an unfortunate consequence of the industrial revolution. Burning fossil fuels has resulted in the release of a billion tons of carbon dioxide in the environment....

Climate change is ruining mooses lives and then killing them

Portugal: Wildfires can burn hot without ruining soil

ScienceDaily: When scientists torched an entire 22-acre watershed in Portugal in a recent experiment, their research yielded a counterintuitive result: Large, hot fires do not necessarily beget hot, scorched soil. It's well known that wildfires can leave surface soil burned and barren, which increases the risk of erosion and hinders a landscape's ability to recover. But the scientists' fiery test found that the hotter the fire -- and the denser the vegetation feeding the flames -- the less the underlying soil...

In a survey performed by an analytics company, Americans complain that bad ads -- especially when repeated -- are stopping them from surfing the Web, working, and even, say almost 1 in 5, sex. Pop-up ads and lottery scams are the worst offenders. [Read more]
