Independent: Scientists have expressed alarm at the devastating impact of climate change on the world's coral reefs. More than a third of Earths reefs are now under threat due a process known as bleaching, in what could be the worst crisis ever to hit these vital ecosystems. Bleaching, where the symbiotic relationship between algae and small animals called polyps breaks down, can occur under heat stress and has been linked to multiple weather events including the latest severe El Nio phenomenon. The...

Climate change may ruin wine production, scientists warn
2016-03-25 14:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: Wine production will be severely hampered by climate change in the long run, according to new research. The rise in global temperatures has seen the European wine industry enjoy a boom in recent years with better quality grapes being harvested but it will not last forever. In western Europe, the best wines are produced in hot summers when end-of-season droughts are followed by heavy spring rains. Indian summers reduce surface moisture and dry out the soil which makes the grapes ready for...

Canada Journal: The warning was made in a paper released on Tuesday citing research led by retired NASA scientist James E. Hansen, according to The New York Times. Co-authored by 18 other scientists, the paper apparently suggests the worlds nations were wrong in believing they could bring the crisis to a non-hazardous level with previously suggested limits to global warming. By the end of the century, climate change could produce storms and a rise in sea level that would obliterate much of the worlds coastal...

Scientists help Vietnams rice farmers adapt to climate change, amid major drought
2016-03-16 06:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
IRIN: Scientists are developing more resistant varieties of rice to help farmers in Vietnam adapt to climate change, amid the countrys worst drought in 90 years. The drought, as well as the related flow of saltwater upriver, has destroyed 159,000 hectares of rice paddies and left almost one million people lacking drinking water, according to a new UN report. Another half million hectares are expected to be damaged by mid-year. In line with its work in other Asian countries, the Philippines-based...
