Straight: What if we could reduce worldwide deaths from disease, starvation, and disaster while improving the health of people everywhere? According to the World Health Organization, we can. Previously unrecognized health benefits could be realized from fast action to reduce climate change and its consequences, says a news release about WHOs first global conference on health and climate in Geneva, August 27 to 29, adding, changes in energy and transport policies could save millions of lives annually from...

Half of North Americas bird species vulnerable to climate change, study finds
2014-09-10 11:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Approximately half of North Americas 650 bird species, including the bald eagle, will be disrupted by climate change over the next 65 years, a new report has found, with some expected to go extinct. The report, published by the National Audubon Society, has described the shrinking habitats and ranges of bird species to be a crisis scenario for North Americas diverse ecology. Some 126 species are expected to lose over 50% of their current ranges, in some cases the figure is 100%. However, whilst...

Merced Sund-Star: As the climate warms, sources of the water so critical to life everywhere on Earth are drying up. By the end of this century, communities dependent on fresh water from mountain-fed rivers could see significantly less water, according to a new climate model recently released by University of California researchers. For example, people who get fresh water from the Kings River could see a 26 percent decrease in river flow. Why? Think of the environment to which humans are accustomed as a huge jigsaw...

Climate Change May Put Half of North American Birds at Risk of Extinction

National Geographic: Climate change could threaten half of North American birds by the end of the century, according to a new study from the National Audubon Society. Half of the birds of North America are at risk of extinction, says Gary Langham, Audubons chief scientist. That estimate is based on the 314 bird species, out of 588 studied, that could lose most of the area they currently occupy, because of a warming planet. Nearly 200 of these threatened species may find hospitable conditions elsewhere, but for 126...

New York Times: The Baltimore oriole will probably no longer live in Maryland, the common loon might leave Minnesota, and the trumpeter swan could be entirely gone. Those are some of the grim prospects outlined in a report released on Monday by the National Audubon Society, which found that climate change is likely to so alter the bird population of North America that about half of the approximately 650 species will be driven to smaller spaces or forced to find new places to live, feed and breed over the next...
