ScienceDaily: The water flea has genetically adapted to climate change. Biologists from KU Leuven, Belgium, compared 'resurrected' water fleas -- hatched from 40-year-old eggs -- with more recent specimens. The project was coordinated by Professor Luc De Meester from the Laboratory of Aquatic Ecology, Evolution and Conservation. The water flea has genetically adapted to climate change.

Shell and high water: The climate battle of Seattle
2015-05-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Seattle Times: IF you had to pick a logo for the campaign to wreak climate havoc, you could hardly do better than Shells Arctic drilling rig, the Polar Pioneer. Climate denial has reached its fullest expression when the melting of the Arctic ice cap is greeted as a signal to drill for more oil where the ice used to be. This monument to hubris is on its way to Seattles waterfront, where Shell hopes to stage its Arctic drilling operations. It will loom large on the Emerald Citys horizon, posing a stark contrast...
Over-consumption, climate change threaten food security, water supply: United Nations

Reuters: There will be enough water to produce food for 10 billion people in 2050, but over-consumption and the impact of climate change threaten food security and water supplies in many regions, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said on Tuesday. By 2050 some 60 percent more food will be needed to feed the world's people and as farming remains the largest user of water, food must be produced sustainably to ensure future supplies of food and water, the FAO and the World Water Council (WWC)...

Urban water future: Changing climate means changing water
2015-03-30 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Standard: Editor's note: This is the final in a three-part series exploring the vital issue of Utah's urban water supplies. The first story delved into aging infrastructure and the second story addressed conservation efforts. The T.W. Daniel Experimental Forest, located about an hour up Logan Canyon from Utah State University, is full of all kinds of shiny metal objects. The metal feathers of rain gauge windscreens rattle with the breeze. Mylar insulation wraps trees, which helps measure sap flux and...

Clearing tropical rainforests distorts Earth's wind & water systems, packs climate wallop
2014-12-18 23:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A new study released today presents powerful evidence that clearing trees not only spews carbon into the atmosphere, but also triggers major shifts in rainfall and increased temperatures worldwide that are just as potent as those caused by current carbon pollution. Further, the study finds that future agricultural productivity across the globe is at risk from deforestation-induced warming and altered rainfall patterns. The report, "Effects of Tropical Deforestation on Climate Change and Agriculture,"...
