Overfishing, climate change take toll on coral

Poughkeepsie Journal: Climate change has been blamed for the rapid decrease in coral cover in the Caribbean over the past few decades. But new research suggests the effects of pollution and overfishing may have been underrated. This is good news, experts say, because these problems are easier to address and reverse. Climate change threatens coral reefs because ocean acidification restricts coral growth and extreme heat events can cause coral bleaching. But, a three-year multi-institutional report found that the biggest...

Michigan Senate race: Can outsider millions make climate change an issue?

Christian Science Monitor: Green groups are pouring millions into the Michigan Senate race, running TV advertisements about climate change and pollution that attack the Republican and support the Democrat. But its unclear whether the climate messaging has had any effect. In fact, recent polls show that Democratic Rep. Gary Peters's lead is shrinking, with Republican Terri Lynn Land trailing a mere six percentage points. Other polling indicates the race is even tighter. So why harp on climate change if its not necessarily...
George Bush: Climate Change Is a Threat

New Republic: George P. Bush, heir apparent in the family political dynasty, just acknowledged that climate change is real, linked it to sea level rise and extreme weather, and suggested we find ways of adapting to it. Thats pretty remarkable, given that Republicans almost never say such things--and that Bush, who is running for the office of state Land Commissioner, is already touted by some as the partys future. Heres the key excerpt from the Texas Tribunes Neena Satija interview with Bush published over...

Antarctic sea ice growth doesn't negate climate change, scientists say

LA Times: In the blue half-light of the Antarctic autumn, a thin film spreads across the continent's coastal waters. It's an embryonic form of sea ice: a mush of microscopic crystals that floats on the dense, salty water of the Southern Ocean. As winter takes root, this proto-sea ice grows thicker and stronger until it encircles Antarctica in a vast frozen ring. The ice spans nearly 7 million square miles at its peak, an area roughly twice the size of the United States. This year, Antarctic sea ice has expanded...
Climate Change Could Soak Up California's Fresh Mountain Water Runoff

KPBS: The Sierra Nevadas deliver freshwater runoff that could dry up if temperatures continue rising. A new study suggests rising global temperatures could cut into California's water supply by altering high-altitude vegetation. Water used to irrigate crops in the Central Valley often begins as runoff from the top of Sierra Nevada mountains. It's so cold up there, vegetation can't take root. But with global temperatures rising, that could change. "Rain or snow comes in, and the vegetation -- the...
