Washington Post: FOR MORE than a century, scientists have understood the basic physics of the greenhouse effect. For decades, theyve realized humans can affect the climate by burning coal, oil and gas. But the countrys leaders remain divided on the need to curb greenhouse emissions, let alone how to do it. Among mainstream scientists, this paralysis is mind-boggling. There is now no doubt that the world is warming. In 2010, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration deemed this conclusion unequivocal,...

Canada struggles with melting permafrost as climate warms

Scientific American: In 2006, reduced thickness of ice roads forced the Diavik Diamond Mine in Northern Canada to fly in fuel rather than try to transport cargo across melted pathways, at an extra cost of $11.25 million. The mountain pine beetle outbreak in British Columbia--fueled by higher winter temperatures that allow insects to survive--expanded in recent years to be 10 times greater than any previously recorded outbreak in the province. Mortality rates of sockeye salmon, meanwhile, have increased because of...

Emperor penguin numbers to slide as Antarctica warms

Reuters: 'Endangered species' Antarctica's emperor penguin population could fall by at least a fifth by 2100 as the sea ice on which the birds breed becomes less secure, predicts a new study. The study urges governments to list the birds as endangered, even though populations in 45 known colonies were likely to rise slightly by 2050 before declining by the end of the century. Such a listing could impose restrictions on tourism and fishing companies. "The emperor penguin is fully deserving of Endangered...

'Weedy thing' thrives as Pole warms
2014-06-16 18:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Climate change is helping an inconspicuous sea moss animal spread rapidly in Antarctica, say scientists. The warmer temperatures have helped Fenestrulina rugula to thrive at the expense of other species. The sea is freezing less so more icebergs are battering the shores of the peninsula, smashing the creatures that live there. According to a new report, the nimble moss has managed to thrive despite the pounding. But researchers say it is not good news for marine creatures further up the...
