Bumblebees Decimated by Climate Change: Study

Discovery: All bees -- all pollinators, actually -- are under stress these days, but bumblebees are especially affected by climate change, according to a new study. Other species are mitigating the effects of warming by expanding their territories northward, but not bumblebees, found the study, published in Science. In fact, bumblebees appear to be contracting their territories. One of the important things to me was how many species are being impacted by climate change. That was a bit of a surprise,...

Climate change may lengthen flight times
2015-07-13 17:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science: By the end of this century, changes in wind patterns triggered by climate change will make round-trip flights between Hawaii and the West Coast last a little longer--and pollute a bit more, a new study suggests. When researchers scrutinized flight data for four major airlines along routes between Honolulu and three airports on the U.S. mainland (Los Angeles, shown in image; Seattle-Tacoma; and San Francisco) from 1995 to 2013, they found that takeoff-to-touchdown flight times were substantially influenced...

Speedy study claims climate change doubled chances of European heatwave
2015-07-13 16:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature: Over much of Europe, the sweltering heatwave of late June and early July has barely subsided. But already, scientists have analysed the possible role of climate change, concluding that global warming made such an event at least twice as likely over much of the continent. In some cities, climate change has made comparable heatwaves four times more likely, they say. The speedy study comes from a collaboration involving the US-based nonprofit environmental news organization Climate Central and an...

Morning Herald: The Abbott government does not get enough credit for its emissions reduction policies, Prime Minister Tony Abbott has said, as he revealed Australia will not announce post-2020 climate targets until August. Mr Abbott told a media conference on Monday that targets Australia will take to a global climate summit in Paris at the end of the year will not be made public until after a cabinet meeting at the beginning of August. Prime Minister Tony Abbott said the difference between Australia and the...

Bond market innovation help China climate change pledge

Morning Post: World leaders have agreed to limit global average temperature rises to within 2 degrees celsius. To achieve this, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recommends a 40-70 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century from 2010 levels, and decarbonisation of the global economy by the end of the century. The leaders of the G7 countries emphasised the importance of these targets at their summit in Germany last month. As the worlds largest greenhouse gas emitter, China has...
