Record Number Of Sea Lion Pups Stranded In California
2016-03-03 10:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
HNGN: What's causing a record number of sea lion pups to strand in California? Scientists may have found the answer. (Photo : Flickr Commons) Food limitation may be linked to a record sea lion pup stranding in California. As large numbers of the creatures flood local animal rescue centers, researchers are looking at why this phenomenon is currently occurring. Booming sea lion numbers combined with declines in the highest-calorie prey around the Channel Islands breeding rookeries have left nursing...

Climate scientists worry about the costs of sea level rise
2016-03-02 12:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: As humans add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, it not only warms the planet, but also raises the oceans. Ocean waters are rising for a number of reasons including thermal expansion of water (as water warms, it expands to a larger volume), as well as ice melt which then flows as liquid into the ocean. My next post will cover four recent studies that quantify how much ocean levels will rise in the future. However, here I will focus on the economic costs of rising seas. A paper was just published...

Rutgers University Study finds sea level rise in the 20th Century was fastest in 3,000 years
2016-02-26 15:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Global sea level rose faster in the 20th century than in any of the 27 previous centuries, according to a Rutgers University-led study published today. Moreover, without global warming, global sea level would have risen by less than half the observed 20th century increase and might even have fallen. Instead, global sea level rose by about 14 centimeters, or 5.5 inches, from 1900 to 2000. Thats a substantial increase, especially for vulnerable, low-lying coastal areas. The 20th-century...
