YLE: A monitoring station in South Africa, founded by a team of Finnish scientists, has proved invaluable in churning out data related to climate change. Although precise measurements of the atmosphere have been taken across the globe for years, those from the African continent have been lacking so far. The station, founded in 2006, is intended to provide information on the composition of particles in the planet's atmosphere, or aerosols. "These results represent the first continuous long-term...

Telegraph: It would be political suicide for a British political leader to admit they do not believe in global warming, Sir David Attenborough has argued. Sir David, the broadcaster and environmental campaigner, said climate change is now widely accepted by the public, with Britain already come round to the idea. He has previously spoken out extensively about the issues of climate change, conservation and population growth, last year attending a global summit in Paris. In an interview with the...

Poison warmed over: Climate change may hurt animals' ability to live on toxic plants

ScienceDaily: University of Utah lab experiments found that when temperatures get warmer, woodrats suffer a reduced ability to live on their normal diet of toxic creosote - suggesting that global warming may hurt plant-eating animals. "This study adds to our understanding of how climate change may affect mammals, in that their ability to consume dietary toxins is impaired by warmer temperatures," says biologist Denise Dearing, senior author of the research published online Jan. 13 in the British journal Proceedings...

Climate change is creeping up on Long Island

Newsday: Negotiators at the Paris conference on climate change forged a path last month to slow global warming. The effects of their actions will take years to appear. Long Island is dealing with the reality of climate change now. And were going to have to make our own decisions. Our coastal communities already are threatened by sea-level rise and the likelihood of more serious storms. Sandy laid waste to parts of our region, and were still rebuilding. And were still vulnerable to the next big storm....

Adapting to climate change in Latin America and Caribbean means ending social disparity
2016-01-15 22:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Huffington Post: Climate change is already a global reality. Glaciers are melting, sea temperatures are increasing, corals are bleaching and rainfall patterns are changing to an extent that water sources may disappear in Latin America and the Caribbean within a few decades. Preparing for disasters is therefore imperative to avoid development setbacks. Despite a growing recognition of the urgent need to act on climate change, theory and practice differ substantially. While the notion of resilience--the ability to...
