Global groundwater crisis may get worse as the world warms
2014-10-30 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: From India to Texas, people are rapidly depleting their valuable stores of groundwater -- leading to the possibility that aquifers may be emptied within decades, a NASA researcher has warned. In a commentary published Wednesday in the journal Nature Climate Change, Jay Famiglietti, who has helped lead the use of a NASA satellite system to detect groundwater changes around the world, warned of dramatic consequences to come if changes are not made to the way that societies manage water supplies....
As Climate Change Warms Oceans, Fish Move Toward Poles
2014-10-13 22:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Weather Channel: Fish are moving toward the poles, and its not because of their magnetism. New research out of the University of British Columbia reveals that climate change -- and more specifically, warmer ocean temperatures -- could result in a large-scale shift of marine fish and invertebrates, notes a UBC news release. The tropics could be fishless by 2050, according to the researchers. The tropics will be the overall losers, William Cheung, a UBC associate professor and study co-author, said in...

California Warms, Greener Mountains Will Mean Less Water for People
2014-09-02 00:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: Scientists have more bad news for drought-stricken California: The climate warming expected in this century is likely to result in even less water flow from the mountains, as trees and plants growing higher on the slopes soak up more of the available precipitation. This finding should be "of great interest to water managers in California," says Roger C. Bales, a professor of hydrology and environmental engineering at the University of California, Merced, who co-authored the study published Monday...

Russia warms faster than rest of planet and sees disease, drought, and forest fires as a result

Quartz: When Vladimir Putin declined to support the Kyoto Protocol, a treaty to limit carbon emissions, he famously quipped that higher temperatures might actually benefit Russia since its people would have to spend less on fur coats. Well, he`s getting his wish. Changes in wind and ocean currents caused by global warming shift heat around unevenly, causing some areas to heat up dramatically even as other regions cool. Russia, it turns out, is in the unusually hot category. Between 1976 and 2012, average...
