LA Times: Seawater is heating up and becoming more acidic, but those are only the first in a cascade of changes the world's oceans are expected to go through by the end of the century as they respond to greenhouse gas emissions, a new study says. "The entire world's ocean surface" will undergo huge changes in ocean chemistry, habitat and biodiversity by 2100 as a result of climate change, with hundreds of millions of people who depend on the sea suffering as a result, the study predicts. A team of more...

Roll Call: Divided government gridlock spawned an important new consequence Tuesday. At a time when theres no chance Congress and the president will agree on any environmental legislation, the Supreme Court agreed to settle a benchmark question about federal powers to control pollution and climate change. While almost all attention was focused on finding a buy-a-little-time solution to the twin budgetary crises at hand the shutdown in its third week and the potential for default in a few days the justices...

PBS NewsHour: If you're going to study the effects of climate change on a food chain, you have to look at how that food, ahem, ends up. Researchers from the Australian government's Antarctic Division will study the Antarctic food chain, specifically, the historical feeding habits of Adelie penguins and impacts of ocean acidification on phytoplankton and bacteria, the smallest building blocks of the southern continent's ecosystem, according to a report from AFP. Seabird expert Barbara Wienecke will lead the survey...

Climate Change Will Not Spare an Inch of Global Ocean
2013-10-15 23:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Every corner of the world's oceans from pole to pole and sea surface to seafloor will undergo chemical changes associated with global climate change by 2100, jeopardizing the livelihoods of billions of people who subsist on marine ecosystems, according to a new study. Previous studies addressing the effects of climate change on future ocean health have tended to focus on the effects of increased temperature and acidity on marine ecosystems. However, other oceanic conditions including dissolved...

Congress Passed A Climate Change Law ... And Then Nothing Happened
2013-10-15 23:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Huffington Post: Congress did something unusual last year. It passed a bill that acknowledged that sea levels are rising -- i.e., that climate change is happening. The measure in question, buried near the end of a 584-page transportation funding bill, also required some modest action: That the Federal Emergency Management Agency use the best available climate science to figure out how the flood insurance program it administers should handle rising seas. FEMAs first step was supposed to be to set up an advisory...
