More extreme weather projected in the Amazon could have global climate consequences

EurekAlert: A new paper co-authored by WHRC scientists Philip Duffy and Paulo Brando evaluates the accuracy of current climate models and uses them to project future drought and wet periods in the Amazon. They conclude that the whole of the Amazon will confront more hydrological extremes, and that most of the region will experience much more frequent and extensive drought. These changes would have profound implications for forest structure, composition, biomass, and carbon emissions. According to Dr. Duffy,...

Climate Change And Extreme Weather Linked To Low Birth Weight
2015-10-06 14:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: The world has learned much in recent years about the harmful health effects of climate change, such as heat-related deaths, respiratory and heart problems caused by air pollution, and emotional disorders that result from the consequences of extreme weather. Now researchers have found that it poses a surprising new danger: low birth weight. In a first-of-a-kind study, scientists from the University of Utah spent two years examining the relationships between fetal development and pregnant women`s...

World Bank: Extreme poverty 'to fall below 10%'
2015-10-04 23:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: The World Bank has said that for the first time less than 10% of the world's population will be living in extreme poverty by the end of 2015. The bank said it was using a new income figure of $1.90 per day to define extreme poverty, up from $1.25. It forecasts the proportion of the world's population in this category to fall from 12.8% in 2012 to 9.6%. However, it said the "growing concentration of global poverty in sub-Saharan Africa is of great concern". Although the share of people in poverty...
