Climate change may be causing a global coffee shortage
2014-02-26 08:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Slate: An epic drought -- Brazil's worst in decades -- is threatening exports from the world's largest coffee exporter and driving up wholesale prices worldwide. We've officially entered the realm of bloggers' worst-case scenario. Now, let's not get too hasty. The world is not going to run out of coffee next week. Analysts still estimate an increasingly tight global coffee surplus of less than 1 percent of total production through the remainder of the year. But the Brazilian drought is causing a significant...

Warming Arctic May Be Causing Jet Stream Lose Its Way
2014-02-16 16:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: Mark Twain once said: "If you don't like the weather in New England now, just wait a few minutes." He was making an unknowing reference to the jet stream, which drives the weather over North America and Europe like a high-altitude conveyor belt. But increasingly, the jet stream is taking a more circuitous route over the northern latitudes, meaning weather systems hang around longer than they used to. And, a warming Arctic is probably to blame, says Jennifer Francis, a professor at Rutgers University's...
Rapidly warming Arctic may be causing polar-vortex winter

Toronto Star: The rapidly warming Arctic may be behind persistent weather patterns half a world away, including our polar-vortex winter, the U.K.s relentless rain, and droughts in the American southwest, according to a controversial new theory. Persistent weather isnt just annoying, as the months-long, life-numbing chill has been. It can also be destructive. If it doesnt rain for a few days, no big deal. But if it goes on for weeks, it becomes a big deal, said Jennifer Francis, a Rutgers University...

Climate Change is Already Causing Mass Human Migration

Smithsonian: There are a lot of reasons people move:for work, for love, for the draw of the big city or the quiet of nature. But as the world continues to warm, it's expected that global climate change will become another factor driving people to move:to dodge coastal erosion and sea level rise, to follow changes in rainfall, to avoid strengthening storms. Climate change is already inducing marine animals to migrate, and according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, it's starting to...
