North India among climate change impact hotspots: Study
2013-07-04 15:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Zee News: A new study by an international team of researchers has suggested that north India is among the few regions identified as hotspots vulnerable to extreme climate changes, which in turn could lead to a fall in agricultural production and severe ecosystem changes. The study, based on the computer simulations of future climate scenarios, was conducted by the international researchers from Germany and was published in the US journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. While the climate...

Climate change could be leading to more El Ninos
2013-07-03 23:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: El Nio is one of Earth`s most influential climatic phenomena. Its occasional arrival, heralded by warming in parts of the eastern Pacific Ocean, can be a harbinger of floods in Peru, droughts in Australia, harsh winters in Europe, and hurricanes in the Caribbean. Yet we know precious little about it. But this week, two separate scientific studies chipped away at the mystery. One study reveals that the El Nio phenomenon has been occurring more frequently as the globe has warmed. The other...

Burning Question: How Will Climate Change Impact Western Wildfires?
2013-07-03 22:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Climate change will dramatically alter wildfire patterns in the western United States before the century ends, studies show. Experts are reluctant to paint a broad picture of future fire risk because fires vary so drastically among regions -- a forest fire in high-elevation Colorado, for example, is vastly different than coastal, chaparral-fed flames in California. But many fire scientists agree the doomsday scenario of massive fires that wreak death and destruction can be quashed through smarter...

Climate Change Altering Oceanic Food Chain by Allowing Certain Microbes to Survive
2013-07-03 17:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Climate change is favoring certain strains of bacteria leading to a drastic change in microbial life in the ocean, a new study has found. Researchers say that change in microbial activity in the ocean leads to changes in the entire food chain. The oceans have a fine balance of life that has taken millions of years to develop. A previous study had found that rising temperatures along with a high influx of nitrogen was disrupting the food chain in the ocean. In the present study, researchers...
