Pipeline threatens vulnerable species

Politico: The Keystone XL pipeline could have devastating effects on at least a dozen threatened and endangered species and the habitats that lie in the projects path, according to a new analysis from the Center for Biological Diversity. The report, released Wednesday by the environmental advocacy group, found that power lines used to operate the pipeline pose collision threats for birds and bats; construction would disturb 15,500 acres, potentially crushing endangered foxes with young in their dens; and...

State Department Ignores Keystone XL Impact on Endangered Species
2013-09-25 20:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: A new analysis by the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) finds that the State Departments review of the Keystone XL pipeline woefully underestimates the impacts it would have on some of Americas most endangered species, including whooping cranes, northern swift foxes, piping plovers, pallid sturgeon, American burying beetles and others. The study found that State Department failed to fully consider the impacts that oil spills, power lines, habitat destruction, construction disturbances and expanded...

5 Great Lakes Species Facing a New Threat From Big Oil
2013-09-20 20:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: The Great Lakes are the worlds largest surface freshwater ecosystem and their waters and shoreline areas provide habitat for a breathtaking array of wildlife.

Meet five Great Lakes wildlife and take action to help protect them from a toxic oil spill. Great Blue Heron...
Ocean species relocate in response to climate change, study finds
2013-09-13 21:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: As climate change heats our oceans, you'd expect temperature-sensitive marine species to flee poleward to cooler waters. So why have some headed to warmer regions toward the equator? Scientists have solved the puzzle. For the most part, these animals are relocating to cooler waters. But since the effects of climate change can vary widely across regions, sometimes those cooler regions are closer to the poles and sometimes they're closer to the equator. In other words, marine animals are still...
