Ars Technica: Arguments over publicly controversial scientific issues like climate change commonly include a lot of accusations of ignorance, naveté, and ulterior motives. Take a step back from why is this person such a lughead? though, and a much better question arises: why are opinions so strongly tied to political affiliation? Why should liberals and conservatives come to such different views of what the scientific evidence does or does not show? If your brain just started compiling a laundry list of reasons...

Marine life reacting faster to climate change than land species

Bloomberg: Species that depend on the sea are reacting more quickly to global warming than land-based life, according to a study in scientific journal Nature Climate Change, with implications for fisheries and food supplies. Areas occupied by marine species including fish, corals and plankton are moving by an average of 72 kilometers (45 miles) a decade, typically toward the poles, the study by researchers at 17 institutions in 8 countries said today. Thats more than 10 times the 6.1 kilometer rate that...
Climate Change Affects Disease Spread: The Need to Forecast

Science World Report: As our climate shifts and changes, wildlife and weather also shifts and changes. Now, researchers have found something else that's deviating from the norm. Scientists have discovered that the spread of infectious diseases is being affected by climate change, which could have enormous implications for mapping diseases in the future. Diseases can spread quickly through both animal and human populations if they're not properly contained. In fact, climate change--more specifically, warmer temperatures--has...

Climate change pushing marine life towards the poles

Guardian: Rising ocean temperatures are rearranging the biological make-up of our oceans, pushing species towards the poles by 7kms every year, as they chase the climates they can survive in, according to new research. The study, conducted by a working group of scientists from 17 different institutions, gathered data from seven different countries and found the warming oceans are causing marine species to alter their breeding, feeding and migration patterns. Surprisingly, land species are shifting at a rate...
