National Geographic: Close your eyes and imagine a species living in a harsh environment threatened by climate change. If you conjured up a polar bear, Cameron Barrows has a suggestion: Consider, instead, the Joshua tree-the gnarly icon of the Southwest's Mojave Desert that looks like it sprang from a Dr. Seuss book. "Animals living in the Arctic get a lot more attention than plants in arid lands, but desert plants like the Joshua tree are also threatened by a changing climate," says Barrows, a research ecologist...

Climate change: what are you doing to reduce your carbon footprint?

Guardian: World leaders will meet in Paris next month for the latest climate summit, where they will discuss a possible new global agreement to tackle global warming. But what, if anything, are ordinary people doing about their own carbon emissions? Current commitments on greenhouse gas emissions run out in 2020, so in Paris governments from more than 190 nations will need to decide what happens for the decade after that at least, and potentially beyond. The Guardian and five other European newspapers...

Grist: If you read even a few of the many articles about how Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the incoming speaker of the House, faces implacable opposition from the far right of the Republican caucus, you might get the impression that Ryan is a moderate. Last week, National Journal reported that moderate House Republicans demanded Ryan be made speaker or else they would quit, while The Huffington Post reported that conservatives were not sold on Ryan. After appealing directly to the far-right Freedom Caucus,...

Eco-Business: Over the past three decades annual climate talks under the United Nations banner have become part of the Zeitgeist of a large movement. They draw government officials, think tanks, civil society, journalists and the occasional hipsters into negotiations over which ride trillions of dollars and our future well-being on Earth. Expect a lot of drama at the next instalment, taking place in Paris in late November. Heads of state will make grandiose pronouncements. Negotiators from 190 countries...

Climate Change and Lizards: Reproduction Strategy May Need to Change, Researchers Say
2015-10-27 22:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: In an attempt to adjust to increasing climate temperatures, common lizards may start breeding more frequently but also start dying off at a younger age. To better understand retilian response to climate change, an international team of researchers closely examined how a warmer climate of just two-degrees celsius would affect populations of common lizards (Zootoca vivipara) over time. Since a reptile's body temperature depends directly on the atmospheric temperature, researchers predict that lizards...
