Santa Barbara Independent: UCSB`s National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) worked with international scientists to create a map to track shifting climates and species migration. A collection of international scientists collaborated and examined 50 years of sea surface and land temperature data to create a map that shows where existing environments may disappear due to climate change. They discovered that climate migration is more complex than species shifting toward the poles, which an earlier NCEAS...

Climate change becomes a rapid, unplanned survival experiment for animal species

ClimateWire: In the 1993 blockbuster movie "Jurassic Park," a sleazy scientist played by Jeff Goldblum quips that "life finds a way." For real biologists, climate change is like a massive, unplanned experiment, one that may be too fast and strange for some species to survive it. Some animals are already in the middle of it. As Arctic ice shelves melt, polar bears are ransacking seabird nests to sustain themselves. Migrating geese are exploring valuable but previously unseen real estate, due to melting permafrost....

Its not unusual for local members to think their constituents jobs are crucial to the economy: we certainly heard that when the government effectively hounded GM Holdens manufacturing operations from our shores (and not coincidentally...

Huffington Post: On a cold, overcast day last fall, Jesse Logan and Wally McFarlane hiked up Packsaddle Peak near Emigrant, Mont., not far from Yellowstone National Park. They had to climb high into the forest, at least 8,500 feet above sea level, to find the trees: tall, majestic whitebark pines, which grow slowly and can live more than a thousand years. A light snow started falling halfway up the mountain, the flakes getting heavier and wetter as they climbed. "You gotta want it to get up in here," said McFarlane,...
