Associated Press: Pennsylvania this week quietly released an updated report on what impact future climate change may have on the state, about 18 months after it was due. The Pennsylvania Climate Impacts Assessment Update was posted to an open database, but state officials issued no news release. The report paints a mixed picture of possible impacts, with many uncertainties for after 2050. Penn State University forestry expert Marc McDill, who worked on the report, said the evidence is "very, very strong"...

Climate change threatens Northern American turtle habitat
2013-10-10 16:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Although a turtle's home may be on its back, some North American turtles face an uncertain future as a warming climate threatens to reduce their suitable habitat. A new study that reconstructs the effects of past climatic changes on 59 species of North American turtles finds that the centers of the turtles' ranges shifted an average of 45 miles for each degree of warming or cooling. While some species were able to find widespread suitable climate, other species, many of which today are endangered,...

Carbon-capture work, aimed at climate change, slowing down, study finds

Reuters: The number of projects that capture carbon-dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial facilities - seen as a crucial tool for coal-reliant countries shifting toward a lower-emitting economy - is losing momentum, dropping from 75 to 65 worldwide since 2012, according to a new study released Thursday. The Global CCS Institute, an Australian-funded research group supporting the deployment of carbon-capture and storage technology worldwide, said in its annual survey that despite four new large-scale...

United Press International: A new, more urgent time frame for climate change and its potential ecological and societal disruption has resulted from a study by U.S. researchers. The study has yielded a prediction of the year when the mean climate of any given location on Earth will shift continuously outside the most extreme records experienced in the past 150 years, the researchers said. Among the study's findings is that areas in the tropics are projected to experience unprecedented climates first -- within the next...

Climate change to drive annual temps to new highs within a generation, study says

CNN: Annual average temperatures will consistently exceed historic high temperatures in as little as seven years in tropical hotspots and could leave the current global temperature range in the dust within four decades if nothing is done to stop climate change, according to a new study published Thursday in the journal Nature. And by the end of the century, monthly average temperatures will be higher than at any time since at least 1860, according to the study, led by University of Hawaii geographer...
