Times of India: Global warming is set to change the climate of Rajasthan forever. According to leading London-based scientists, the deserts of Rajasthan will become swampy by 2030. The findings of these scientists, which are published in the journal, 'Nature', a few years ago, had also said the north-east areas of the state will change to drought-affected regions. In the last one decade, several indications have been observed which are likely to cause the change, including heavy rains, in western Rajasthan, while...

GlobalPost: Pests that eat and damage crops are spreading both further north and south due to climate change, according to a new study. Researchers in Britain say that beetles, bacteria, funghi, worms, moths and other pests are moving at a rate of 16 miles per decade - that's faster than theoretical predictions in 2011 that found similar results. Both global warming and human transport are helping them spread, say scientists. The study looked at over 600 pests around the world and found that they were moving...

Crop Pests Spreading North with Global Warming

Scientific American: Crop pests and diseases are moving towards the poles at about the same speed as warmer temperatures. The finding suggests that climate change is driving their relocation, and raises major concerns about food security. Climate change is expected to cause changes in the distributions of species around the world, with an overall shift away from the equator and towards the poles. Ecologists have already documented such a shift in many wild species, including some birds and insects. The changing climate...
