Guardian: Its an unmistakably Melbourne setting: councillor Arron Wood is the citys environment portfolio chairman, standing in a rooftop courtyard as the faint sound of trams rises up from Swanston Street down below and the surrounding skyline reaches into a cool autumn sky. Against this backdrop, not to mention the solar thermal panels on the next level, Wood does not hold back when discussing how cities can lead from the front in tackling climate change. He evokes the philosophy of Michael Bloomberg,...

Climate change likely to turn up heat on koalas
2016-06-08 12:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Phys.Org: A changing climate means that by 2070 koalas may no longer call large parts of inland Australia home, researchers have found. Using a detailed ecological model, the University of Melbourne study shows hotter temperatures and altered rainfall patterns will make it much more difficult for koalas to get the water they need - making inland populations vulnerable to heat-stress. The researchers mapped potential koala habitats in 2070 by using information about koala behaviour, physiology, body size,...
