Latest Species Threatened by Climate Change: Mussels
2013-03-14 06:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Tyee: Ocean acidification -- which occurs when the ocean absorbs more carbon dioxide -- threatens one of the most dominant life forms on shorelines, mussels, by making it tough for the bivalve to keep itself glued to rocks. Mussels rely on fine fibres, called byssal threads, to keep themselves anchored. Researchers at the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories have been studying mussels' response to rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, including testing the animals' ability...

Melting Arctic Ice Will Make Way for More Ships and More Species Invasions
2013-03-06 17:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: The rare ships that have ventured through the harsh, icebound Arctic Ocean require reinforced hulls and ice-breaking bows that allow them to plow through dense ice as much as two meters deep, and face hazardous conditions in remote locations for long periods of time. Arctic sea ice now is melting so rapidly each summer due to global warming, however, that ships without ice-breaking hulls will be able to cross previously inaccessible parts of the Arctic Ocean by 2050. And light-weight ships equipped...

Baltimore Sun: The federal law listing polar bears as a threatened species was upheld Friday by a federal appeals court, which rejected arguments that it is wrong to impose far-ranging and possibly costly protections for a species that remains fairly abundant in many regions of the Arctic. Concluding that attacks on the listing "amount to nothing more than competing views on policy and science,' the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., upheld the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's 2008 decision to...

Population growth is threat to other species, poll respondents say
2013-03-01 22:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: Nearly two-thirds of American voters believe that human population growth is driving other animal species to extinction and that if the situation gets worse, society has a "moral responsibility to address the problem," according to new national public opinion poll. A slightly lower percentage of those polled -- 59% -- believes that population growth is an important environmental issue and 54% believe that stabilizing the population will help protect the environment. The survey was conducted...
