Scientists: Algae not just Toledo problem
2015-09-27 00:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Toledo Blade: Climate change and poor land use have caused explosive growth of toxic algae around the world in recent years, putting more water-treatment plant operators on high alert and increasing anxiety of consumers. Over the past two decades, the scourge has become so widespread, from the Arctic Circle to South America, that scientists were almost unfazed when they learned that trace amounts of the harmful algal toxin microcystin, the same one behind 2014's Toledo water crisis, showed up for the first...

Bumblebees Quickly Mutating In Response To Global Warming, Say Scientists
2015-09-26 19:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inquisitr: Scientists have determined that bumblebees are quickly mutating or evolving to adjust to the effects of global warming. The bodies of bumblebees in the United States are quickly adapting to the changing climate. Scientists researched three separate mountaintops where the golden belted bumblebee used to be the most dominant species at 50 percent. However, when the research was recently conducted, the golden belted bumblebee population had fallen to account for a mere 20 percent. Studying bumblebees...

Yale Enviro 360: For a researcher who studies how humanity is pushing the earth close to potentially disastrous tipping points, Johan Rockström is surprisingly optimistic. Although he reckons that our species has crossed four of nine planetary boundaries -- including those on climate change and deforestation -- he believes there is still time to pull back from the brink and create a sustainable future based on renewable energy and a circular economy that continually reuses resources. In an interview with Yale...

$43 Trillion: What Scientists Calculate a Warming Arctic Will Cost
2015-09-22 16:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: The melting permafrost in the Arctic could cost the world dearly. New research calculates that the economic damage that would flow from loss of permafrost and the increased emissions of greenhouse gases would add up to $43 trillion. This is very nearly the estimated combined gross domestic product last year of the U.S., China, Japan, Germany, UK, France and Brazil. And, British and U.S. scientists say, this would be in addition to at least $300 trillion of economic damage linked to other consequences...
