Climate change: 2015 will be the hottest year on record 'by a mile', experts say

Independent: Climate scientists are predicting that 2015 will be the hottest year on record by a mile, with the increase in worldwide average temperatures dramatically undermining the idea that global warming has stopped as some climate-change sceptics claim. Even though there are still several months left in the year to gather temperature readings from around the world, climate researchers believe nothing short of a Krakatoa-sized volcanic eruption that cuts out sunlight for months on end can now stop...
Why Climate Change Could Make Hurricane Impact Worse

Times: Hurricane Katrina surprised disaster preparedness authorities when it made landfall 10 years ago, leveling entire communities and killing more than 1,800 people. The storm caused more than $100 billion in damage, making it the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history. But for all the damage the storm caused in New Orleans, Katrina was a relatively weak hurricane when it hit the city. In the academic community, the unexpected disaster prompted climate scientists to consider the link between climate...

Climate Change: Marine Biodiversity's Profound Changes to Come

Nature World: Biodiversity undergoes many challenges when faced by climate change. Essentially, in warming areas species have one of two choices: to move out and potentially harm native species of new regions or face extinction. In a study published in Nature Climate Change, researchers modeled these impacts on almost 13 thousand marine species. This is twelve times more species than previously studied. "This study was particularly useful because it not only gave us hope that species have the potential to track...

Yes, climate change has a hand in the California drought
2015-08-25 19:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ars Technica: The California drought may have put water in short supply, but debate about it is in surplus. Water use has come under even greater scrutiny as Californians struggle to deal with the current and future reality. Groundwater overuse during the drought has reached epic proportions, with the land surface in some locations sinking almost two inches per month as a result. In addition to arguing over how to use the little water they have, people are also debating the question of whether humans are partly...

Climate Change Will Hit Poor Countries Hardest, Study Shows

Ethiopian Herald: Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner. Effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result from global climate change are now occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer, more intense heat waves. The potential future effects of global climate change include more frequent wildfires, longer...
