Patch: It may not be the best time to make long-term real estate investments along the Oregon Coast, according to a new report from Zillow, the real estate website. The website used data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to look at the 23 states in the U.S. along the coast to examine which parts would be underwater if sea levels rise by as much as 6 feet. Zillow said that benchmark was picked because some researchers say that is how much sea levels could rise by 2100. In...

Irish Times: Two tribes embroiled in conflict around Lake Turkana in northern Kenya have had substantial help towards finding a peaceful resolution. The process has helped ease tensions between the Turkana and Dassanech tribes.

Climate change: Evolution spurs speedy plant migration, UBC study finds
2016-07-30 22:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Vancouver Sun: Scientists may be underestimating how quickly the Earth`s plants can change location in response to climate change, according to a study from the University of B.C. As the global average temperature rises, the comfort zones of many plants and trees are easing north or into higher elevations, but the speed with which they move is being driven by evolutionary responses. Plants cultivated to evolve were able to move 200 per cent further across difficult landscapes over six generations than plants...
