Under climate change conditions, our forests may fail to be resilient

Herald: Under conditions stirred up by climate change, its unclear how once resilient forests will fare. As indications of climate change become more apparent, a study led by a University of Wisconsin zoology professor looks to identify at what point rising temperatures and higher frequencies of natural disturbances like wildfires could potentially leave a forest unrecoverable. UW zoologist Monica Turner, who has been studying Yellowstone National Park for more than 25 years, has observed the full...

One Photographer Portrays Climate Change Differently

Time: The concept of climate change is abstract for most; but for those living throughout the U.S.`s south as well as in parts of California, it represents a real threat to their day-to-day lives. As a Texan native, photographer Andrew Williams was drawn to the prospect of visualizing climate change. "When I was living in New York City, I kept hearing more and more about the drought in the southwest,' he explains, "and then when I started this project, I fell into an 'environmental depression' very...

Climate change like death, an inevitability we must face
2016-09-06 03:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Morning Herald: Our attitudes to climate change are becoming like our attitude to death: we know we must face up to it one day, but right now we'd prefer to think about something else. This may explain why the media's coverage of a potentially breakthrough report from the government's Climate Change Authority focused on environmentalists' criticisms of it rather than its actual content. Similarly, why focus on the world's two biggest greenhouse gas emitters, China and the United States, using the G20 meeting...
For Lizards, Climate Change Is A Deadly And Complex Threat
2016-09-05 21:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: Lizards are expected to be hard hit by climate change - and a new study suggests it might be even worse for some lizards than scientists thought. Lizards are sensitive to global warming because they regulate their body temperature using the environment. They bask in the sun, and cool off in the shade. It's been predicted that about 40 percent of the world's lizard populations will die off by the year 2080, which means roughly 20 percent of lizard species will go extinct. That prediction was...
