PhysOrg: Many Oregon coast public officials and community leaders believe their local climate is changing and that the change will affect their communities. But overall, they say, addressing the changing climate is not an urgent concern. These are among the findings of a survey by Oregon Sea Grant at Oregon State University. During 2012, Sea Grant surveyed coastal professionals such as city managers and planners, elected officials such as city council members and county commissioners, and other leaders...

Canadian Press: The Conservative government has politicized its policy options at a time when harmonized federal and provincial carbon policies are needed to cut emissions as cheaply as possible, says a new report. An increasingly fragmented national approach to carbon policy could result in higher costs, according to the International Institute for Sustainable Development. The Conservative decision to go with complex, sector-by-sector regulation of emissions while provinces experiment with market-driven policies...

RedOrbit: As various species around the world experience increasingly negative impacts from climate change, scientists are constantly looking for ways to inform the conversation around conservation. A joint team of Australian and American researchers recently published a study in the journal Global Change Biology that shows how the official protection of key breeding grounds is vital to maintaining the resilience of many sea turtle species. To give marine turtles a better chance of coping with climate...

Study: Climate change impact on stream flow varies by location

Corvallis Gazette Times: The South Santiam River in southeastern Linn County dwindles to a knee-deep channel of water by late August, while the Willamette River maintains a steady and abundant flow through the summer. In 50 to 100 years, however, warmer climate temperatures likely will have little effect on the summer flows of rivers like the South Santiam, but will impact larger, slower-draining systems such as the Willamette, according to a recent study co-authored by researchers from Oregon State University and the...
