Frontier Airlines CEO on flight from 'verge of extinction' to profitability

Frontier Airlines CEO David Siegel explains how his airline's new ultra-low-cost carrier model will work in April 2014. Frontier Airlines turned a profit in 2014 under its new ultra-low-cost fare model, an accomplishment that will allow the Denver-based carrier to boost salaries for key employees and, its leaders hope, help turn back the onslaught of complaints that have overwhelmed it in recent months.

Associated Press: Global warming will eventually push 1 out of every 13 species on Earth into extinction, a new study projects. It won't quite be as bad in North America, where only 1 in 20 species will be killed off because of climate change or Europe where the extinction rate is nearly as small. But in South America, that forecasted heat-caused extinction rate soars to 23 percent, the worst for any continent, according to a new study published Thursday in the journal Science.

Reuters: Climate change could drive up to a sixth of animals and plants on Earth to extinction unless governments cut rising greenhouse gas emissions, according to a U.S. study published on Thursday. Species in South America, Australia and New Zealand are most at risk, since many live in small areas or cannot easily move away to adapt to heatwaves, droughts, floods or rising seas, said the report in the journal Science. The study averaged out 131 previous studies of climate change, whose projections...

New mass extinction event proposed
2015-04-21 16:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Over the past 450 million years, life on Earth has been devastated by five mass extinction events that are widely recognised by geologists. Now, an international team of researchers proposes adding a sixth mass extinction to the list. The team believes it has accumulated sufficient evidence to promote the Capitanian event to the rank of mass extinction. The extinction occurred approximately 262 million years ago. Their proposal would elevate the Capitanian, which occurred during the Middle Permian...
