Warming climate puts Europe at risk for seasonal outbreaks of dengue fever
2016-04-07 05:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Increasing temperatures will enlarge Europe's seasonal window for the potential spread of mosquito-borne viral disease, expanding the geographic areas at risk for a dengue epidemic to include much of Europe. The findings by researchers at Ume University in Sweden are published in the journal EBioMedicine. Researchers at Ume University's Unit for Global Health have calculated the risk for dengue outbreaks in Europe based on a set of different climate change predictions. Climate change-related...

Climate change fears put wolverine on endangered species watch
2016-04-07 04:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Times: The solitary, aggressive wolverine faces few threats in the wild even humans tend to give the remote creatures a wide berth but it does need snow to create dens. Hence a federal judges ruling this week ordering the Fish and Wildlife Service to reconsider its 2014 decision against listing the wolverine under the Endangered Species Act because the creature is under attack by global warming. No greater level of certainty is needed to see the writing on the wall for this snow-dependent species...

Plant Gases Could Slow Arctic Climate Change
2016-04-07 03:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sci-Tech Today: Plants release an array of gases called biogenic volatile organic compounds, or BVOCs, which work to attract beneficial insects and pollinators, while repelling pests. New research shows BVOCs are extremely sensitive to climate change and may help slow warming in the Arctic. When researchers from the University of Copenhagen exposed plants in the Arctic tundra to warmer temperatures, they found a dramatic increase in the release of BVOCs. "It seems that 3 to 4 times more biogenic volatiles are...

Plant gases can counteract Arctic climate change
2016-04-07 01:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Plant gasses possibly dampen the temperature rise in Greenland. Plants emit compounds to deter pests or attract pollinators, and as a side effect particles are formed when the compounds interact in the air. These particles can contribute to the formation of clouds, which reflect incoming solar radiation, and thus prevent solar heat from reaching the ground and warming it additionally. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have studied the effect of the imminent climate changes on the release...
