Australian scientists plan to relocate wildlife threatened by climate change
2013-10-17 02:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Australian researchers have developed the "first rigorous framework' on how to relocate animals displaced due to climate change. The study, conducted by academics from four Australian universities and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), devised a formula on how to decide whether to relocate a species, which species to prioritise for reintroduction and where and how to move them. The work follows a request by the International Union for Conservation of Nature...

Scientists discover new super toxin so dangerous, theyre keeping it secret
2013-10-16 16:32:22| Extremetech
There was a huge controversy last year surrounding publication of a paper about the bird flu virus. The paper basically described how bird flu can be made more virulent. The same drama is now being played out once again, only this time it involves a particularly nasty variety of the botulinum bacteria -- the same class of bacteria used in Botox injections.

Why are moose dying out in U.S? Sudden decline baffles scientists
2013-10-16 10:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Daily Mail: Moose populations are declining rapidly and could disappear from some states in North America. But while scientists have noticed the steep drop in numbers in Minnesota, New Hampshire, Montana and British Columbia, the reason for the animal's plight remains a mystery. Scientists' theories range from brainworms infecting animals to ticks sucking their blood that could be depleting populations but it seems that global warming could be a common theme. Minnesota had two separate moose populations...

Global warming will increase intensity of El Nino, scientists say
2013-10-14 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Scientists say they are more certain than ever about the impact of global warming on a critical weather pattern. The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) occurs in the Pacific Ocean but plays an important part in the world's climate system. Researchers have until now been unsure as to how rising temperatures would affect ENSO in the future. But this new study suggests that droughts and floods driven by ENSO will be more intense. The ENSO phenomenon plays a complicated role in the global...

Scientists: U.S. Climate Credibility Getting Fracked
2013-10-10 21:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: As fracking catapults the United States to the top of the list of the world's largest crude oil and natural gas producers, climate scientists worry that the nation's booming fossil fuels production is growing too quickly with too little concern about its impact on climate change, possibly endangering America's efforts to curb global greenhouse gas emissions. The U.S. is likely to become the world's top producer of crude oil and natural gas by the end of 2013, producing more hydrocarbons than either...
