Asbury Park Press: According to a study being conducted by Rutgers University, climate change seems to be pushing several species of fish and crustaceans northward along the east and west coasts of North America. The movement could have serious effects on birds, marine mammals and those who depend on fishing for food and income. "As temperatures have warmed in the waters off our coasts, animals with a low tolerance for that warming have just picked up and shifted," says Malin Pinsky, a marine biologist at Rutgers...

We can't let climate change turn droughts, flash floods and mudslides into the new normal

Guardian: Between power outages, deluging rains, flash floods, mudslides and record droughts, California is quickly becoming unrecognizable all the bellwethers of an ecosystem out of whack. Thanks to a rapidly changing climate making wet regions wetter and dry regions drier, 2014 will be the hottest year on record and, if were not careful, the Bay Areas recent #HellaStorm will soon become the norm. Everyone in the state knows the severity of the problem: were in the midst of our worst drought in...
Climate change could cut world food output 18 percent by 2050

Reuters: Global warming could cause an 18 percent drop in world food production by 2050, but investments in irrigation and infrastructure, and moving food output to different regions, could reduce the loss, a study published on Thursday said. Globally, irrigation systems should be expanded by more than 25 percent to cope with changing rainfall patterns, the study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters said. Where they should be expanded is difficult to model because of competing scenarios...
How will climate change transform agriculture?

PhysOrg: Climate change impacts will require major but very uncertain transformations of global agriculture systems by mid-century, according to new research from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis. Climate change will require major transformations in agricultural systems, including increased irrigation and moving production from one region to another, according to the new study, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. However without careful planning for uncertain...

Front Yards Turn to Wetlands as Climate Change Takes Toll

Bloomberg: Climate change is beginning to take a toll on real estate in Norfolk, about 80 miles southeast of Richmond, as insurance costs soar and residents resort to putting their homes on stilts or opening up space underneath for the water to flow through. Amanda Armstrong schedules her life around the tides. For the past year and a half, shes had to navigate rising waters that saturate the lawn of her red brick house in Norfolk, Virginia, and sometimes fill a puddle out front with crabs and fish. We...
