It's warming faster in cities - but there are cooling solutions, scientists say

Online Athens: The world is steadily heating up as the levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere. But cities are heating up even faster, which could have serious consequences for city dwellers in upcoming years. As heat waves become more common and more intense, the suffering will likely fall hardest on the most vulnerable groups, such as the poor, the elderly and people who work out of doors, University of Georgia climate scientist Marshall Shepherd said this week as a...

15,000 sq km of coral reef could be lost in current mass bleaching, say scientists
2015-07-07 18:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: A massive coral bleaching event currently ravaging coral reefs across the globe could destroy thousands of square kilometres of coral cover forever, US government scientists have said. In figures exclusively released to the Guardian, scientists from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) said about 12% of the worlds reefs have suffered bleaching in the last year. Just under half of these, an area of 12,000 sq km of coral, may be lost forever. But the devastation is only...
Scientists look to mosquito data to map spread of disease

SciDevNet: Mosquitoes that carry the dengue and chikungunya viruses are more widespread than ever, believe scientists mapping the global spread of the insects. There are no treatments or vaccines for these diseases, so knowing where the mosquitoes that transmit them occur and thrive can help focus research and public health resources, the scientists say. A study, published in the journal eLife last week (30 June), focuses on two species of mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, which carry the...

Scientists say warming seas kill off coral reefs Pacific, Atlantic oceans
2015-07-07 06:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guadian: Abnormally warm ocean temperatures are creating conditions that threaten to kill coral in the equatorial Pacific, north Pacific and western Atlantic oceans, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said on Monday. Coral bleaching occurs when coral is stressed by changes in its environment, causing it to release algae living in its tissue. The coral then turns pale or white and becomes more susceptible to disease. In severe cases, it can die, permanently changing the habitat for fish...
