Climate change fears put wolverine on endangered species watch

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...

2016-04-06 19:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Already the most destructive and deadly of all natural disasters, science tells us that flooding events will increase in frequency and intensity with climate change. Meanwhile population pressures will continue to see more and more building in low-lying coastal areas and flood plains. Investment in adequate defenses will need to grow massively to protect against this advancing threat. The engineering challenge comes when excess water, usually from too much rainfall or melting snow, flows where...
