Jamaica Gleaner: Shermaine Clauzel, programme manager for Environmental Health and Sustainable Development at the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) in St Lucia, is stressing the need for more comprehensive research to be made available in the Caribbean, showing the linkages between climate change and health issues. "Up until this point, I don't think we have been researching as much into the actual impacts that climate change will have on health. As we go forward, there certainly will be issues of increased...

How climate change may be impacting the world's tropical forests
2016-02-22 06:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EurekAlert: New research suggests that multi-year droughts will significantly alter the structure, composition, and dynamics of second-growth tropical forests, which have re-grown after cessation of agricultural activity or a major disturbance such as fire. These second-growth forests represent the prevalent tropical forest cover today. Investigators combined 14 years of data on annual tree growth and survival with local climate records in the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica to evaluate tree responses to inter-annual...

The CSIRO recently announced it would halve the number of employees in climate science, with around 100 jobs to go from two main monitoring and modelling programs. The council has looked into the local and international impact the change will have. Its report, Flying Blind: Navigating Climate Change without the CSIRO, released on Monday,...

Is your hometown a top hit for climate change?

Christian Science Monitor: North American prairies, South American rainforests, and eastern Australia are all climate change hot spots, according to a paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Alistair Seddon, lead author of the study and a biologist at the University of Bergen in Norway, analyzed 14 years of NASA satellite images with four of his colleagues to identify areas around the world that are ecologically sensitive to climate change. Instead of just predicting how the climate will change in different...
