World ocean systems undermined by climate change by 2100
2013-10-15 23:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: An ambitious new study describes the full chain of events by which ocean biogeochemical changes triggered by manmade greenhouse gas emissions may cascade through marine habitats and organisms, penetrating to the deep ocean and eventually influencing humans. Previous analyses have focused mainly on ocean warming and acidification, considerably underestimating the biological and social consequences of climate change. Factoring in predictable synergistic changes such as the depletion of dissolved...

Climate Change Has Complicated Effects on Forests
2013-10-15 21:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: The most comprehensive review to-date of scientific papers on climate change effects on forests reveals a diverse set of consequences for forests across North America, according to researchers from Dartmouth University. Writing in the journal Ecological Monographs, the authors say their analysis of 500 scientific papers reveals that climate change is the source of insect outbreaks in forests, plant diseases, wildfires and other problems in forests, but also that warmer temperatures are making...

Climate change is ruining mooses lives and then killing them
2013-10-15 18:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: The New York Times has an article out today about how moose are drying in droves, and oh man, it sounds really terrible to be a moose right now. First of all, many of your friends are probably dead. One population in Minnesota, for instance, has shrunk over the past two decades from 4,000 moose to fewer than 100. It`s getting hotter in the winter, and if your body is designed, like a moose`s body, to flip out if the winter temperature tops 23 degrees, that`s a huge problem. Think of all the energy...

US Supreme Court agrees to hear climate change regulation cases

Reuters: The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hear a challenge to part of the Obama administration's first wave of regulations aimed at tackling climate change. The court agreed to hear a single question of the many presented by nine different petitioners. The question at issue is whether the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency correctly determined that its decision to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles necessarily required it to also regulate emissions from stationary sources....
How is Climate Change Jeopardizing the Sounds of Nature?

AccuWeather.com: Climate change has brought once lively and loud habitats to utter silence as their inhabitants of birds, frogs and insects have either vanished or drastically changed their migration patterns. A relatively new study known as biophony, or the signature of collective sounds that occur in any given habitat at any given time, has provided scientific evidence to show that the sounds of nature have been altered by both global warming and human endeavors. "Biophony is changing," bioacoustician and...
