Poison warmed over: Climate change may hurt animals' ability to live on toxic plants

ScienceDaily: University of Utah lab experiments found that when temperatures get warmer, woodrats suffer a reduced ability to live on their normal diet of toxic creosote - suggesting that global warming may hurt plant-eating animals. "This study adds to our understanding of how climate change may affect mammals, in that their ability to consume dietary toxins is impaired by warmer temperatures," says biologist Denise Dearing, senior author of the research published online Jan. 13 in the British journal Proceedings...

Long Island is dealing with the reality of climate change now. And were going to have to make our own decisions.

It is imperative that the world invests significantly and quickly in climate mitigation strategies to reduce the human and economic cost of climate change, which is where COP21 fell short. The vague wording of the final declaration gives...

Marco Rubio backing a cap-and-trade program to combat climate change, his campaign roared back with a counterattack that included an entire web page aimed at debunking the video. Mr. Rubios muscular response revealed how toxic the issue of climate change has become in the Republican Party under President Barack Obama, who has sought to make reducing carbon emissions to alleviate global warming one of his signature...

Huffington Post: Climate change is already a global reality. Glaciers are melting, sea temperatures are increasing, corals are bleaching and rainfall patterns are changing to an extent that water sources may disappear in Latin America and the Caribbean within a few decades. Preparing for disasters is therefore imperative to avoid development setbacks. Despite a growing recognition of the urgent need to act on climate change, theory and practice differ substantially. While the notion of resilience--the ability to...
