Winnipeg Free Press: Jeff Rubin, the former chief economist for CIBC World Markets-turned-bestselling author, knows all about adaptation. His first book, Why Your World Is About To Get a Whole Lot Smaller grabbed international attention with predictions that world oil prices would climb to more than $200 a barrel by 2012, forcing a rethink of almost every economic driver in industrialized nations. Well, that didn't happen. On the contrary, oil prices have dropped so precipitously that further development of Canada's...

New Research Suggests Climate Change is Wiping Out Bumblebees

io9: A study led by Canadian researchers shows that bumblebees are disappearing in many areas where they lived several decades ago, and climate change is to blame. Unlike most animals--and for reasons not entirely known--bumblebees cant move north to cope with warmer temperatures. They dont fare well in warmer climates because they evolved in cooler regions, away from the tropics. This makes them particularly vulnerable to changing climatic conditions. To learn exactly how climate change is impacting...

Climate change is killing bees

Grist: Bees are having a really hard time right now. For about a decade, they`ve been dying off at an unprecedented rate - up to 30 percent per year, with a total loss of domesticated honeybee hives in the United States worth an estimated $2 billion. At first, no one knew why. But as my colleague Tom Philpott has reported extensively, in the last few years scientists have accumulated a compelling pile of evidence pointing to a class of insecticides called neonicotinoids. These chemicals are widely used...

IEA: Ignoring Climate Change Could Be Costly Fossil Fuel Firms

Guardian: The worlds fossil fuel companies risk wasting billions of dollars of investment by not taking global action to fight climate change seriously, according to the chief economist of the International Energy Agency (IEA). Fatih Birol, who will take the top job at the IEA in September and is one of the worlds most influential voices on energy, warned that companies making this mistake would also miss out on investment opportunities in clean energy. Coal giant Peabody recently dismissed global...

Climate Change Is a Major Buzz Kill for Bumblebees
2015-07-10 14:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: The humble bumblebee is feeling the squeeze from climate change. Research shows that its southern range is being reduced as the planet warmsand yet it seems to show no sign of migrating northwards to safety. This unwillingness to head for cooler climes could prove disastrous, and has prompted some scientists to suggest that humans may need to intervene by creating refuges for the bees away from the heat. Jeremy Kerr, a biologist at the University of Ottawa, Canada, and colleagues report in...
