Indigenous Knowledge Key to Climate Change Adaptation
2015-07-10 12:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Times: Scientists have called for the integration of indigenous knowledge to combat global warming and enhance adaptation to climate change. According to researchers from East Africa, on-farm experiences by smallholder farmers and pastoralists and indigenous knowledge can contribute effectively to coping with climate change. The scientists made this proposal while presenting their findings at the UNESCO scientific conference currently taking place in Paris, France, under the theme, "Our Common Future under...

Easing Alaska's wildfire seasons means tackling climate change

Alaska Dispatch News: Alaska is burning. As of July 8 more than 300 fires are blazing across the state in an extreme and costly fire season that could last well into August. Firefighters and the resources they depend on are being pressed to the limits. I know exactly what our front-line defenders are going through. Ive been there. During the summer of 1983, I was among a group of smokejumpers dispatched from western states to Alaska during a major fire bust, a relatively large number of fires started mostly by...

Climate Change Is Shrinking Where Bumblebees Range, Research Finds
2015-07-10 03:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Climate change has narrowed the range where bumblebees are found in North America and Europe in recent decades, according to a study published Thursday. The paper, published in the journal Science, suggests that warming temperatures have caused bumblebee populations to retreat from the southern limits of their travels by as much as 190 miles since the 1970s. Logic would suggest that the northern reaches of their home turf would shift to higher latitudes by a corresponding distance. But that has...

Nature World: In case you wondered if honeybees were squeezed but bumblebees were fairly present in your own garden, it seems that the range of bumblebees is drastically narrowing due to climate change as well. Researchers at the University of Vermont and University of Ottawa recently published their findings from the most comprehensive study conducted yet on the impacts of warming on critical pollinators, in the journal Science. The scientists examined more than 420,000 historical and current records of many...

Buzz the alarm: Climate change puts squeeze on bumblebees

ScienceDaily: Global warming is putting the squeeze on bumblebees. In the most comprehensive study ever conducted of the impacts of climate change on critical pollinators, scientists have discovered that global warming is rapidly shrinking the area where these bees are found in both North America and Europe. Researchers examined more than 420,000 historical and current records of many species of bumblebees--and confirm that bumblebees are in steep decline at a continental scale because of climate change. The...
