Effect of climate change sends ocean health 'spiralling downward' faster than predicted

Independent: Scientists have warned that climate change has sent the health of oceans "spiralling downward" faster than previously thought. A key international assessment of climate change last week revealed the oceans are absorbing much of the warming and unprecedented levels of carbon dioxide caused by human activity such as burning fossil fuels. Now experts are warning the impact of rising greenhouse gases combined with a range of other problems is far graver than previously thought. Oceans are being...

Maine lobstermen threatened by climate change and Canada

BBC: Plenty is not normally a problem for those who harvest the seas; decks and holds full of fish generally gladden the hearts of fishermen everywhere. But for the lobstermen of the US state of Maine, the abundance of lobsters has turned into a headache. The catch is up six-fold in just over a decade as climate change warms the waters and encourages huge hauls. Yet the price the lobstermen receive for their crustacean catch has fallen steadily. The BBC spoke to two veterans about the impact...

The 'Climate Asia' study, published by BBC Media Action, the UK media organisation's international development charity, is the first comprehensive report on how people in Asia are responding to the impact of climate change.

Polar opposites: Why climate change affects Arctic & Antarctic differently
2013-10-02 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: The sea ice around Antarctica reached a record high in August of 7.2 million square miles (18.6 million square kilometers) -- the greatest extent observed since recordkeeping began in 1979. But as Antarctic sea ice grows, the sea ice of the Arctic is shrinking dramatically. The Northern ice cap reached a record low of 1.32 million square miles (3.42 million square km) in September 2012, due to warming air and waters. If the Earth is warming, and both ends of the planet are affected by climate...
