EcoWatch: Climate change is creating conditions that are likely to increase the rate of infectious disease worldwide. Thats the key findings of two new studies that show viruses such as Ebola, H1N1 and TB, as well as dengue and yellow fevers could spread further and become more frequent because of our changing climate. In one recently published article, zoologists studied climate in two vastly different regionsthe tropics and the Arcticto gain an understanding of how climate change may affect the...

Climate change in real time: Incredible animations reveal changing ocean acidity
2015-02-17 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Daily Mail: Satellite images are being used to monitor how ocean acidification is changing the world's seas. For the first time, scientists have been able to obtain a global picture of how rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are affecting the oceans. Using thermal cameras and microwave sensors mounted on satellites orbiting 435 miles above Earth, the experts said it's possible to assess which areas of the ocean are most at risk of acidification. Scientists have used satellite data to map...
