2014-10-07 23:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Conservation: In the summer of 2010-2011 Western Australia experienced an unprecedented heatwave -- but not on land. Between December 2010 and April 2011, sea temperatures off the WA coast reached 3C above average, and for two weeks peaked at 5C above average -- 28C compared to the normal 23C. The effects were drastic. Corals bleached, and the makeup of the usually temperate south west marine ecosystems shifted to more tropical -- both in fish, and algae. Were still learning about this extraordinary event....

Climate change adversely affecting Arctic wildlife

Alaska Dispatch: There is increasing evidence that climate change, which is warming the polar region, is having a negative affect upon a variety of wildlife. While there have long been concerns that some populations of polar bears are shrinking, studies now show that polar bears, as a species, are also shrinking in size. The bears need ice to hunt, mostly seals, but less ice in recent years has meant less hunting, and thus the shrinking size. Scientists say the female bears typically weigh 650 pounds, but...

In The End of Science, I cited the Oreskes et al. paper when I challenged the claim that computers will revolutionize research into so-called complex systems. "The tobacco industry was way ahead of the postmodernists," says Naomi Oreskes, co-author of Merchants of Doubt,...

Climate change may cause some bird species to relocate to cooler areas
2014-10-06 02:39:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
News and Observer: North Carolinas bright summertime landscape of songbirds, seabirds, and even game birds such as wild turkeys may be in for some drastic changes as the 21st century wears on. The climate change predicted by many scientists to accelerate rapidly is likely to have many species leaving home in search of cooler, more hospitable climes. For the majority of the birds, especially in the East, its going to be a northward shift, said Tom Auer, important bird area biologist for the National Audubon...
