The damage wrought by acidic oceans hurts more than marine life and lasts longer than you think

LA Times: A milky white cloud blooms in the Barents Sea, so vast it can be seen from space. It`s not the result of some toxic chemical spill or the sinking of a dairy-filled tanker - it`s the handiwork of millions of microscopic algae, doing what their kind have done for millions of years. The algae, Emiliania huxleyi, somewhat mysteriously produce ultra-thin scales made of chalk that surround their single-celled bodies. While it`s not exactly clear how the scales benefit the algae, scientists say...

Reuters: The number of people affected by the combined impact of the El Nino and La Nina weather patterns could exceed 100 million by the end of the year, the United Nations said on Wednesday. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) estimates that more than 60 million people, two thirds of them in east and southern Africa, are facing food shortages because of droughts linked to El Nino, a climate phenomenon that occurs when water in the Pacific Ocean becomes abnormally warm. The impact of La...

Phys.Org: The snow leopard-world's most mysterious big cat-may be more common than thought The snow leopard has long been one of the least studied - and therefore poorly understood - of the large cats. No longer. Scientists studying snow leopards now say the big cats may be more common than previously thought. New estimates focused on areas described as 'Snow Leopard Conservation Units,' covering only 44 percent of the snow leopard's extensive...

Express Tribune: The first rain of the monsoons wreaked havoc in Chitral, but more alarmingly, served as an indicator of things to come in one of the most impoverished districts of the country. The area lost three-fourths of its infrastructural development in 2015. While the emphasis this year has once again been on disaster management instead of adaptive measures, 31 people are missing and 37 houses seven have been destroyed. Officials say these structures were in the path of a water channel induced by the flash...

Antarctica ozone hole is healing sooner and faster than expected
2016-07-02 18:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Modern Readers: New research suggests that the ozone hole in Antarctica is getting smaller and growing to its full size later than it does in the year. According to the researchers, this healing process has been described as a victory in the fight against man-made climate change and the effects it has dealt on Earths ozone layer. The multinational team of scientists discovered in their study that the September-October ozone hole has become smaller, shrinking by about 1.7 million square miles in the all-important...
