Ocean scientists recommend plan to combat changes to seawater chemistry
2016-04-13 05:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Global carbon dioxide emissions are triggering permanent changes to ocean chemistry along the North American West Coast that require immediate, decisive action to combat. That action includes development of a coordinated regional management strategy, concluded a panel of scientific experts including Andrew Dickson, a professor of marine chemistry at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. A failure to adequately respond to this fundamental change in seawater chemistry, known as ocean...

USDA Silences Its Own Scientists Warnings About the Dangerous
2016-04-12 18:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Evidence has been mounting that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been silencing its own bee scientists who have raised the alarm about the deadly impact that pesticides, particularly neonicotinoids, have on bees. Last month, for example, the Washington Post reported the story of Jonathan Lindgren, a USDA bee scientist, who filed a whistleblower suit alleging that he was disciplined to suppress his research. In 2014, Dr. Jeffery Pettis, another USDA bee scientist and beekeeping advocate,...

Scientists Are Watching in Horror as Ice Collapses

National Geographic: The soldiers at Matienzo Base in Antarctica made an odd discovery in January 1995-an antique dog sled, unlike any they had ever seen, bound together by leather straps, with a label reading "Made in England." Matienzo was an Argentine research base on a small island 30 miles off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. It was surrounded by a vast plain of white-a slab of glacial ice, 700 feet (215 meters) thick, that floated on the ocean. That floating slab, called Larsen A Ice Shelf, covered an area...

Scientists express alarm at 'devastating' impact of climate change on coral reefs
2016-04-10 18:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: Scientists have expressed alarm at the devastating impact of climate change on the world's coral reefs. More than a third of Earths reefs are now under threat due a process known as bleaching, in what could be the worst crisis ever to hit these vital ecosystems. Bleaching, where the symbiotic relationship between algae and small animals called polyps breaks down, can occur under heat stress and has been linked to multiple weather events including the latest severe El Nio phenomenon. The...
