Politics of Climate Change: A Well-Oiled Machine
2013-07-11 03:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Triple Pundit: The politics of climate change are a lot like the politics of gun control, at least in the sense that President Obama meant when he asked in April 2013 how Congress could fail to deliver gun control legislation when 90 percent of the American public wants it. Polling in 2013 shows that 87 percent of Americans would like their national government to make clean energy a priority; only 12 percent think that this should be a low priority. The same poll showed that 70 percent of Americans believe that...

Birds Outpace Climate Change to Avoid Extinction
2013-07-10 23:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A new study has shed light on the potential of birds to survive in the face of climate change. In the analysis, based on more than fifty years' detailed study of a population of great tits near Oxford, UK, a team of scientists were able to make predictions about how the birds could cope with a changing climate in the future. They found that for small, short-lived birds like the great tit, evolution can work fast enough for genetic adaptation to keep pace with a changing environment. However, even...

Evolution Losing Race with Climate Change, Species May Not be Able to Adapt
2013-07-10 20:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Evolution is losing in the race against climate change, which could lead to the extinction of certain species. University of Arizona researchers -- led by John J. Wiens, a professor in UA's department of ecology and evolutionary biology in the College of Science -- have found that climate change is outpacing evolution, and that some species may not be able to adapt to the warming of certain locations over the next century. In fact, the study discovered that many vertebrate species -- ranging from...

Hurricanes And Climate Change: Storms Likely To Get Stronger And More Frequent, Study Shows
2013-07-10 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Hurricanes are Mother Natures largest and most destructive storms. Fed by warm ocean waters and moist atmospheric conditions, about 90 such storms -- also known as tropical cyclones -- form worldwide each year. With the population of coastal areas growing daily and sea level on the rise, how these monster storms may change as the climate continues to warm is an increasingly urgent question facing climate scientists, insurance companies, and public officials. A new study by Kerry Emanuel, a prominent...
