Hill: President Obama warned of the effects of climate change in remarks from Sentinel Bridge at Yosemite National Park on Saturday. Obama touted the National Park System, saying its a true expression of our democracy and is something we have in common, something we share. The president touted the Every Kind in a Park initiative, launched early last year to help elementary-school children visit national parks for free, while interacting with a crowd of children. "We want to make sure that...

Guardian: 1) Arctic sea ice is melting at a rate that by September could see it beat the record low set in 2012. The maximum extent of sea ice in winter was at a record low, and the extent in May was the lowest for that month ever, by more than 500,000 sq km. 2) Every month this year has been the hottest on record globally for that month. May, data published this week by Nasa revealed, was no exception. Nasas dataset, one of three main global surface temperature records, shows February recorded the highest...

National Post: Patagonia is littered with the bones of giants: sabre-toothed cats with huge, arcing cheek teeth, ground sloths that weighed as much as cars, bears that stood 10 feet tall. Throughout the last Ice Age, these creatures roamed the grasslands and mountain plateaus at South America`s southernmost tip. And then, suddenly, they died out. While examining ancient specimens for a study on evolutionary history a few years ago, molecular biologist Alan Cooper realized that the species all seemed to disappear...

eNCA: Aboard a Royal Danish Navy ship near the Jakobshavn glacier, the reputed source of the iceberg that sank the Titanic over a century ago, US Secretary of State John Kerry saw evidence of another looming catastrophe. Giant icebergs broken off from the glacier seemed to groan as they drifted behind him, signaling eventual rising oceans that scientists warn will submerge islands and populated coastal region. Briefed by researchers aboard a Royal Danish Navy patrol ship, Kerry appeared stunned by...

Climate Change --"Triggered Extinction of Giant Ice Age Species"

Daily Galaxy: Giant Ice Age species including elephant-sized sloths and powerful sabre-toothed cats that once roamed the windswept plains of Patagonia, southern South America, were finally felled by a perfect storm of a rapidly warming climate and humans, a new study has shown. Research led by the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA (ACAD) at the University of Adelaide, published today in Science Advances, has revealed that it was only when the climate warmed, long after humans first arrived in Patagonia, did the...
