MSNBC: A new study published in Science Magazine points to a correlation between rising temperatures triggered by climate change and increased aggressive behavior in humans. Energy and environmental correspondent with the National Journal, Coral Davenport, says that climate change is an issue that the Pentagon and the CIA characterize as a threat multiplier for violence, conflict, and even for war. Situations of political, economic, and ethnic unrest can be exacerbated by extreme drought, water...

Study finds climate change is causing modifications to marine life behavior

Phys.Org: Oceans cover 71 percent of the Earth's surface, yet our knowledge of the impact of climate change on marine habitats is a mere drop in the proverbial ocean compared to terrestrial systems. An international team of scientists set out to change that by conducting a global meta-analysis of climate change impacts on marine systems. Counter to previous thinking, marine species are shifting their geographic distribution toward the poles and doing so much faster than their land-based counterparts. The...

The Climate Is Set to Change 'Orders of Magnitude' Faster Than at Any Other Time in the Past 65 Million Yrs

Atlantic: Some of the earliest clues scientists had that Earth's climate has changed over time were mismatches between the fossil record and a current ecosystem. How could this palm tree have grown in Wyoming? Why have fossils of the tropical breadfruit tree been found as far north as Greenland? These cold places must have once been warm and wet. The world is not as it has always been. And somehow, despite the tumult, species adapted, moving thousands of miles to habitats where they could survive. Won't...
Climate change said affecting global spread of infectious diseases

United Press International: Climate change affects the spread of infectious diseases worldwide with serious impacts to human health and biodiversity conservation, disease ecologists say. Writing in the journal Science, they propose modeling the way disease systems respond to climate variables could help public health officials and environmental managers predict and mitigate the spread of lethal diseases. Climate change and its effects on diseases that threaten humans has been a subject of debate for the last decade, study...

Today's climate change proves much faster than changes in past 65 million years

ClimateWire: The climate is changing at a pace that's far faster than anything seen in 65 million years, a report out of Stanford University says. The amount of global temperature increase and the short time over which it's occurred create a change in velocity that outstrips previous periods of warming or cooling, the scientists said in research published in today's Science. If global temperatures rise 1.5 degrees Celsius over the next century, the rate will be about 10 times faster than what's been seen...
