As Climate Change Warms Oceans, Fish Move Toward Poles

Weather Channel: Fish are moving toward the poles, and its not because of their magnetism. New research out of the University of British Columbia reveals that climate change -- and more specifically, warmer ocean temperatures -- could result in a large-scale shift of marine fish and invertebrates, notes a UBC news release. The tropics could be fishless by 2050, according to the researchers. The tropics will be the overall losers, William Cheung, a UBC associate professor and study co-author, said in...

Tropical Fish Moving Toward Poles Due To Climate Change
2014-10-13 12:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
International Business Times: Climate change and warming of the world's oceans are prompting tropical fish to move toward cooler waters near the poles, according to a study, which predicts that a large number of fish will disappear from the tropics by 2050, if the current trend of changing temperatures continues. As part of the study, researchers at the University of British Columbia, or UBC, in Canada, used the same climate change scenarios as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, to predict a large-scale...
Towards the poles: tropical cyclones on the move

Mongabay: For years we have known that the tropics are expanding towards the poles. However, there is something decidedly destructive accompanying that shifting warm weather: tropical cyclones. In a recent study led by Dr. James Kossin from the NOAA National Climatic Data Center, researchers discovered that cyclones are reaching their maximum intensity farther towards the poles than before. On average, these storm systems have been peaking in intensity towards the north and south poles at a rate of 53 and...
Worsening Hurricanes Pushed Toward Poles By Climate Change

EcoWatch: The hurricane season of 2014 just kicked off, and with two devastating storms wreaking havoc along the northeastern U.S. coast over the last few years, its no wonder everyones on edge. Were concerned about hurricanes becoming more frequent and intense, and about the worsening storm surge caused by a rise in sea levels. But flying under the radar is a fourth link between hurricanes and climate change: how climate change affects the location of hurricanes. A new study led by researchers at...

Tropical Storms Hitting Peak Strength Nearer Poles, Study Says
2014-05-14 22:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: Tropical storms are migrating out of the tropics, reaching their peak intensity in higher latitudes, where larger populations are concentrated, a new NOAA-led study published in the journal Nature says. Each decade for the past 30 years, tropical cyclones - which include hurricanes and typhoons - have become strongest on average about 30 to 40 miles farther north or south of the equator, the study says. In a statement on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's website, the agency...
