United Press International: A new, more urgent time frame for climate change and its potential ecological and societal disruption has resulted from a study by U.S. researchers. The study has yielded a prediction of the year when the mean climate of any given location on Earth will shift continuously outside the most extreme records experienced in the past 150 years, the researchers said. Among the study's findings is that areas in the tropics are projected to experience unprecedented climates first -- within the next...

Radiation levels near Japan's damaged Fukushima reactor hit two-year high

Reuters: Radiation levels in seawater just outside one of the damaged Fukushima reactors spiked this week to the highest level in two years, the operator of the crippled Japanese nuclear plant said on Thursday. Radiation levels on Wednesday, the day six workers were exposed to highly radioactive water, jumped 13 times the previous day's reading, the highest levels since late 2011. A massive quake and tsunami hit the power station, operated by Tokyo Electric Power Co, also known as Tepco, in March 2011,...

Climate Change May Trigger Higher Mercury Levels in Fish, Study Suggests
2013-10-05 18:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Adding to the extensive list of climate change's effects, researchers from Dartmouth College have uncovered a link between rising ocean surface temperatures -- a result, they say, of a changing climate -- and the amount of mercury in fish. High in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, fish can play an important role in promoting proper growth and development as well as heart health. However, tucked away in the fatty tissue of many kinds of fish are high levels of methylmercury, an even more toxic form...
