Nature World: Disney's Pocahontas got it right when singing to John Smith that "every species is connected in a circle that never ends."What she didn't explain is what happens when a single plant, animal or organism is removed from this balanced system? But given the increasing amount of carbon build up, we may soon find out, a new study reveals. Researchers from the University of Adelaide recently conducted a global analysis of marine responses to increasing carbon dioxide emissions, and their findings suggest...

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: A grim outlook for global fisheries and marine environments has been outlined in a study done by University of Adelaide researchers. Published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, their analysis finds ocean warming and acidification are likely to reduce the diversity of marine species. "Our large-scale analysis suggests that many species will show a decrease in abundance, as well as diversity," Associate Professor Ivan Nagelkerken said. "We looked at how climate...

Washington Post: When thinking about greenhouse gas emissions, there are a few obvious sources that come to mind, such as cars or coal-burning plants. But there are also some huge natural reservoirs of carbon on Earth, known as carbon sinks, which could pour huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere if they were unleashed. The worlds forests are one major example. Trees store large amounts of carbon while theyre alive but when they die, they release all that carbon back into the atmosphere. So as...

Washington Post: Lets face it: Climate science isnt always the easiest subject to explain to non-scientists. However, the political charge surrounding global conversations about climate change makes it all the more important to communicate the science to the general public as clearly and accurately as possible. Unfortunately, new research suggests that the worlds foremost body dedicated to reviewing and communicating climate science may be falling short in this area. The U.N.s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate...

MSNBC: Its been well established over many years that Exxon is one of the worlds leading voices when it comes to denying the evidence of climate change. Whats new, however, are reports that the oil giant has quietly operated for decades on the assumption that the scientific evidence is real. The L.A. Times had a fascinating piece on this yesterday, which deserves to have an impact on the broader policy discussion. [In 1990] in the far northern regions of Canadas Arctic frontier, researchers...
