Reuters: The Horn of Africa is becoming drier in step with global warming, researchers said on Friday, contradicting some climate models predicting rainier weather patterns in a region that has suffered frequent food crises linked to drought. A new study using a sediment core extracted from the Gulf of Aden found the East African region covering Somalia, Djibouti and Ethiopia has dried at an unusually fast rate over the past century. Lead author Jessica Tierney, an associate professor at the University...

EcoWatch: We recently reported on how Hawaii could be facing the worst coral bleaching in its history this year as surrounding water temperatures rise at unprecedented rates. Now scientists are warning that it`s not just Hawaii but the entire world that is in the midst of the worst coral die off in history. A consortium of scientists today from the University of Queensland, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), XL Catlin Seaview Survey and elsewhere confirmed today that we are facing a third...

Scientists: Coral blight spreading worldwide
2015-10-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: The bleaching of colorful coral is spreading into a worldwide, devastating crisis, scientists say, and they predict it will likely get worse. Triggered by global warming and the El Nino, record hot ocean water is causing fragile coral to go white and often die, threatening picturesque reefs that are hotspots of marine life, experts say. The spread of sickly white started more than a year ago in Guam, then devastated Hawaii, infected the rest of the tropical Pacific and the Indian oceans and...

South Korea's Lee to head U.N. panel of climate scientists
2015-10-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: South Korea's Hoesung Lee, chosen on Tuesday to head the U.N.'s panel of climate scientists, favors wider pricing of carbon dioxide output to curb emissions of the greenhouse gases the group blames for global warming. He told Reuters in a telephone interview he would seek to open the Nobel Peace Prize winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), traditionally led by scientists from Europe and North America, to experts from around the world. He added the IPCC would also strive to include...
Scientists find gene makes plants more carefree under climate stress

Guardian: By 2050, well have to meet the gargantuan challenge of growing 50% more food, to feed a burgeoning global population. Enter climate-resilient agriculture, possibly the best chance we have of actually attaining this goal: as countries grapple with the effects of climate change--drought, higher salinity--increasingly well have to depend on crops that can also flourish despite its inconsistencies. Research on agricultural resilience abounds, but the latest offering looks to plant genetics for a solution,...
