Tico Times: Sea turtles in Costa Rica face threats from poachers when they come ashore to lay their eggs, but another threat comes from the water itself. Rising sea levels in the Caribbean are washing away valuable beaches where many of these endangered animals lay their eggs, noted a new report on climate change vulnerability in Costa Rica on Friday. Sea turtles aren`t the only ones facing future threats from climate change. A new report estimates that a lack of rainfall and rising sea levels from climate...

Deep ocean current may slow due to climate change, Penn research finds
2014-03-22 19:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Eureka! Science News: Far beneath the surface of the ocean, deep currents act as conveyer belts, channeling heat, carbon, oxygen and nutrients around the globe. A new study by the University of Pennsylvania's Irina Marinov and Raffaele Bernardello and colleagues from McGill University has found that recent climate change may be acting to slow down one of these conveyer belts, with potentially serious consequences for the future of the planet's climate. "Our observations are showing us that there is less formation of...

Permafrost thaw exacerbates climate change
2014-03-22 18:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The climate is warming in the arctic at twice the rate of the rest of the globe creating a longer growing season and increased plant growth, which captures atmospheric carbon, and thawing permafrost, which releases carbon into the atmosphere. Woods Hole Research Center (WHRC) Assistant Scientist Sue Natali and colleagues engineered first-of-a-kind warming experiments in the field to determine net gains or losses in carbon emissions. The study entitled "Permafrost degradation stimulates carbon loss...

Climate Change Could Slow Down Deep Ocean Current

International Business Times: Deep ocean currents that act as conveyer belts -- channeling heat, carbon, oxygen and nutrients around the globe -- could be slowed down due to climate-change effects, causing serious consequences for the planet in the future, according to a new study, conducted by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and McGill University in Canada. The researchers said in the study, published in Nature Climate Change, that Antarctic Bottom Waters, a massive current of cold, salty and dense water that...

Odisha Sun Times: A new study by the University of Pennsylvanias Irina Marinov and Raffaele Bernardello and colleagues from McGill University has found that recent climate change may be acting to slow down one of these conveyer belts -- with potentially serious consequences for the future of the planets climate. Our observations are showing us that there is less formation of these deep waters near Antarctica, said Marinov, an assistant professor in the department of earth and environmental science. This...
