Climate change may speed up forests' life cycles

ScienceDaily: Many climate studies have predicted that tree species will respond to global warming by migrating via seed dispersal to cooler climates. But a new study of 65 different species in 31 eastern states finds evidence of a different, unexpected response. Nearly 80 percent of the species aren't yet shifting their geographic distributions to higher latitudes. Instead, they're staying in place -- but speeding up their life cycles. The Duke University-led study, published online Wednesday in the peer-reviewed...

Climate Change Not Felt Equally Throughout Europe: A Study

Nature World News: Climate change is not equally felt throughout Europe, a study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters shows. Comprised of researchers from the London School of Economics and the University of Warwick, the team translated weather observations into climate change observations using a gridded dataset going back 60 years. In doing so, they discovered that the hottest 5 percent of summer days warmed fastest in a stretch of territory from southern England and northern France to Denmark....

Australias climate change fight is doomed as long as it remains Chinas top coal supplier

Quartz: The newly elected conservative government of Australia, led by incoming prime minister Tony Abbott, has promised to scrap the countrys carbon tax on industrial polluters. That has promoted much teeth-gnashing among environmentalists, but the issue is trivial compared to how much coal Australia exports. Australias year-old tax on carbon was to be a prelude to a greenhouse gas emissions trading market set to launch in July 2014. It would have been the one of the largest carbon markets outside...
British Columbia agricultural region issue preliminary blueprints dealing climate change

Vancouver Sun: Increased salinity and greater risks of flooding are two of the possible effects of climate change on Delta farmland. Three agricultural regions in B.C. have produced preliminary plans for dealing with the effects of climate change on food production. Cowichan Valley, Delta and Peace River will deal with vastly different effects as temperatures rise and precipitation patterns change, from increased frequency of flooding to lengthy drought and the need for water rationing and new irrigation...

Pacific climate change outlook bleak, says academic

Islands Business: A climate change academic says the prognosis for small island states in the long-term is not good, and is getting bleaker by the decade. Pacific leaders made a commitment at the Pacific Islands Forum to urgently cut green house gas emissions and become leaders in the fight to combat climate change. Many of the island nations promise to be using at least 50 percent renewable energy by 2020, and some want to join Tokelau and aim for 100 percent. The director of Victoria Universitys post-graduate...
