Climate change: swift political action can avert a carbon dioxide crisis
2013-05-12 01:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The news that concentrations of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere reached a level of 400 parts per million last week might not appear to have immediate significance. The level is only a couple of units higher than last year, after all. Yet the development has undoubted importance. With the realisation that carbon dioxide levels have achieved that symbolic 400ppm figure, it is now clear that two decades of warnings from scientists have fallen on deaf ears and that our leaders have failed completely...

Independent: Migratory waterbirds have shifted their wintering areas north-eastwards due to Europe's changing climate, scientists have revealed. They found a strong link between changes in the numbers of goldeneyes, tufted ducks and goosanders wintering across northern Europe and changes in temperature in early winter. In Finland and Sweden, the mid-winter numbers of these three species are more than 130,000 higher than three decades ago. Correspondingly, on the southern edge of the distribution in France,...

Scotsman: Some of Scotland`s rarest birds could be wiped out by the end of the century as a new UK report highlights "profound" climate change in the Highlands, experts have warned.

Experts yesterday published a new report highlighting numerous accepted predictions that climatic conditions in the birds territory...
