Climate change threatens California's stock of native fish
2013-06-13 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment Health: California's rivers and lakes are getting warmer, which puts a great deal of stress on the native fish that live in those bodies of water. But all isn't lost. There are changes that could be made that could help keep them from going extinct. As summer begins along many U.S. rivers, you'll find anglers patiently contemplating their rods in the flowing water. But researchers say when it comes to California, in the future they may be out of luck if they are looking to hook an indigenous fish....

But now with the advent of climate change, they are facing major challenges. Stronger and more frequent storms regularly destroy trees planted around catchment areas as watershed as well as grass planted in and around these areas to slow evaporation.

Guardian: This Friday, another frustrating round of negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) ends in Bonn/Germany. It is highly doubtful that the international community will be able to agree on a treaty that would commit all industrialised countries and emerging economies to binding emissions reduction targets by the end of 2015. With global emissions still rising, it is even more unlikely that such an agreement would be compatible with the overarching target...

New York Times: The Bloomberg administration on Monday issued new warnings about New York Citys vulnerability to climate change, offering updated data to encourage businesses, residents and perhaps even future mayors to better prepare against hotter weather, fiercer storms and increased rainfall. Administration officials estimated that more than 800,000 city residents will live in the 100-year flood plain by the 2050s. That figure is more than double the 398,000 currently estimated to be at risk, based on new...
