The search for survivors: Which species will outlast the rising acidity of oceans?
2014-08-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: Many of the projected effects of climate change on the world's oceans are already visible, such as melting polar ice caps and rising sea levels. But invisible changes may be the most threatening to human food sources, beginning with the tiny species like plankton that inhabit the bottom of the oceans' food chain. As emissions from human activities increase atmospheric carbon dioxide, they, in turn, are modifying the chemical structure of global waters, making them more acidic. Many researchers...

Growth, global warming threaten African species
2014-07-24 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Voice of America: Researchers meeting in Cameroon say Africa may lose up to 30 percent of its animal and plant species by the end of the century due to global warming, population growth and unregulated development. The researchers from 20 African, American and European universities say sub-Saharan Africa is losing forest land faster than any place on Earth. Loggers are cutting down trees to meet unrelenting timber demand from China, Europe and the United States. Meanwhile, countries are recording 3 percent population...

138,000 species threat as Obama approves gas and oil exploration
2014-07-20 07:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: US president Barack Obama has approved a project that will open up an area off the east coast of the US to oil and gas exploration with the use of sonic cannons -- which are highly damaging to marine wildlife. The decision to use sonic cannons was approved by The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). Their deployment is quite common in drilling operations. However, a White House report has stated that 138,000 sea creatures could actually be hurt by the new project by exploration and the use...
United Kingdom: Warm seas bring in exotic species

BBC: Increasing numbers of exotic species such as bluefin tuna will appear off the Cornish coast amid warmer sea temperatures, scientists predict. Temperatures are hitting 18C in Devon and Cornwall, nearly 2C more than normal for this time of year. Plymouth Marine Laboratory said warmer water species such as sunfish could also be migrating into English waters. The Met Office said winter storms had helped lead to an increase in summer sea temperatures. Forecaster Alister McHardy said: "The...

How species will, or wont, manage in a warming world
2014-07-12 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science News: High in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, mustard plants slumber through the winter in snow-covered meadows. When spring finally reveals these hardy perennials, the plants reach for the sky, unveiling tiny pink or white flowers. This annual rebirth is timed to the snowmelt, and as warmer temperatures have moved melting earlier and earlier in the year, this particular mustard, known as Drummonds rock cress (Boechera stricta), has followed. The herbs trumpetlike flowers now bloom about 13 days...
