Nature World: Researchers are expecting to see a huge decline in the population of marine creatures that dwell on the ocean surface by the next century. According to estimates by a team of researchers led by National Oceanography Center scientists, the number of marine creatures in North Atlantic will decrease by about 38 percent. Around the world, at least five percent of these organisms will vanish due to climate changes. The team has also said that creatures living in the remotest regions of the ocean...

Mongabay: A decline in the frequency of extreme cold weather in Florida has allowed coastal mangrove forests to expand northward, finds a study published this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The research, based on analysis of satellite and temperate data, found that mangroves in the Miami area and northward have expanded by 1,240 hectares since 1984. "Between Cape Canaveral National Seashore and Saint Augustine, mangroves doubled in area," noted a statement issued by the University...

Hindu: Science is increasingly pointing a finger at human actions as being responsible for the perils of climate change. This is an ineluctable consequence of improving the computer models of climate change. Of course, there are still large uncertainties. But it is clear the human hand is indispensable in understanding what has happened. The more certain is the attribution for blame, the more justified many developing countries will feel in protesting about the impact of rising sea levels on small island...

Salon: We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations, President Obama announced back in January at his second-term inauguration. Thus began another year of steady climate change, continued pollution of the atmosphere and half-hearted attempts at changing the worlds dire trajectory. By many measures, 2013 wasnt particularly extreme: it it wasnt the hottest weve ever seen; its storms, by and large, werent the most...

Climate News Network: Who'd be a bat? Global warming is about to make your life ever more difficult, because higher air temperatures will make echo-location of insect prey so much less effective. And if the world reacts, stops burning fossil fuel, and invests in green energy, then your chances of being killed by a wind turbine become just so much higher. Holger Goerlitz, of the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Seewiesen, Germany, and colleagues report in the Proceedings of the Royal Society Interface that...
