New Scientist: IN 2001, at the age of 52, Richard Primack packed the records of 21 years of research on tropical rainforests into a filing cabinet. Despite a cool reception from his colleagues at Boston University, the professor of biology had decided to leave that research behind, and see what he could do to make the threat of climate change more tangible. He wanted to find evidence of warming that would be so "up close and personal" that people could not remain unconcerned by change that is too slow for most...

Australia: Stanley in climate change plea

West Australian: Leading health researcher Fiona Stanley has warned that children will pay the price if more is not done to address climate change. Speaking before a special address to doctors and medical students yesterday, the Telethon Kids Institute patron said climate change was the biggest global health issue of this century and she worried that sceptics were taking over the debate. She was speaking at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital at a talk partly organised by Doctors for the Environment Australia. "I'm...

Moth Study shows Climate Change Effects Masked

Nature World: While populations of 80 moth species in Finnish Lapland are generally either stable or increasing, a study by the University of Michigan suggests their growth rates have been dropping, according to a release from the school. The researchers concluded from the 32-year study that the impact of climate change on animals and plants is being underestimated because much of the harm is hidden from view. "You see it getting warmer, you see it getting wetter, and you see that the moth populations are either...

Climate Change Causes Chain Reaction in Ecosystems

EcoWatch: A collaborative study released yesterday involving scientists from the Cambridge Conservation Initiative has shown that climate change is altering species distributions and populations, seemingly through shifting interactions between species rather than direct responses to climate. The study, led by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) and involving Fauna & Flora International, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre, Royal Society for...

The Future Is Evaporating: Climate Change Could Dry Out 30 Percent of the Earth
2014-04-15 11:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Motherboard: Scientists expect the changing climate to bring on more drought; there's going to be less rainfall in the already arid regions. That alone would be bad news for denizens of the planet's dry zones--in some places in North Africa, the American Southwest, India, and the Middle East, water shortages could well become an existential threat to societies built there. But new research shows that in addition to less rain, the rate of evaporation is likely to rise, too. Combined, the two forces could dry out...
