CBC: Even a single polar bear can devastate all the eggs on a single island where birds such as common eiders nest. This unfortunate colony was visited by three bears at once. (Courtesy Steve Marson) Shrinking Arctic sea ice has left polar bears scrambling to find food, and they've taken to eggs in a big way, unfortunately for the birds. While some athletes may impress us by downing a mere dozen eggs for breakfast, a polar bear in the Northern Hudson Bay region can eat hundreds of seabird eggs in...

Jewish Daily Forward: Are conservatives ever right? They were wrong about slavery, wrong about womens suffrage, wrong about segregation, wrong about gay rights. They were wrong about trickle down economics its never worked and never will, as the ballooning wealth gap proves once again. They were wrong about Iraq (where are those WMDs, anyway?) and wrong about Vietnam before it. Theyre even wrong about evolution (in which only 43% of Republicans believe). But no error, no misguided application of ideology,...

Voice of America: The World Cup soccer tournament is getting more and more carbon-heavy, with FIFA estimating that the 2014 event in Brazil will dump 2.72 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere -- one million more tons than South Africa's 2010 World Cup. Officials from both sides of the globe weigh in how they have incorporated climate change concerns into the World Cup. Brazil's tourism board says it is expecting tourists to spend $10.4 billion during this year's World Cup. That cash injection, however,...
Climate change becomes a rapid, unplanned survival experiment for animal species
2014-02-07 17:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: In the 1993 blockbuster movie "Jurassic Park," a sleazy scientist played by Jeff Goldblum quips that "life finds a way." For real biologists, climate change is like a massive, unplanned experiment, one that may be too fast and strange for some species to survive it. Some animals are already in the middle of it. As Arctic ice shelves melt, polar bears are ransacking seabird nests to sustain themselves. Migrating geese are exploring valuable but previously unseen real estate, due to melting permafrost....
