Age: CSIRO head Larry Marshall has sought to defend deep cuts to climate science programs after days of sustained criticism, saying global warming research was "one piece of a much larger puzzle" in solving Australia's biggest challenges. His defence came as dozens of scientists, including some whose jobs are under threat at CSIRO, rallied in Melbourne, warning the cuts would hurt Australia's ability to address the climate change threat. In a lengthy statement released on Monday, Dr Marshall said...

Scientists say climate change fuelled Zika outbreak

Bloomberg: Climate change may have fuelled the outbreak of the mosquito-borne Zika virus in Latin American and make it harder for developing countries to manage future epidemics, researchers said. Record-high temperatures last year in Brazil, Ecuador and other South America countries created ideal conditions for the mosquito that transmits Zika, which is suspected of causing birth defects, scientists said on conference call with reporters Friday (Feb 5). The researchers, who cautioned any link between...

Economic Times: Pelagic fish like mackerel, sardine and anchovies are alarmingly disappearing from the Kerala coasts due to ocean warming, marine scientists said today as they warned of the adverse impacts of climate change on fisheries wealth. The experts, who spoke at a session on Climate Resilient Fisheries held at the International Conference on Blue Economy here, stressed the need for framing strategies for protecting the ocean eco-system and conserving the fishery wealth. Dr P U Zacharia, a scientist...

Scientists find some clues to climate change in plants
2016-01-31 09:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bend Bulletin: The National Parks Service is partnering with citizen scientists to track when plant species flower, leaf out or set seed. The way plants grow gives clues to changes in the environment and the impact of climate change. Plants, as we know, have the most sensitive biological responses to climate change, said Nancy Fernandez, a climate change intern with Lewis and Clark National Historical Park. They are sensitive to temperature change and precipitation. Fernandez discussed plant responses to...

Antarctic scientists head to biological hotspot studying climate change in Southern Ocean
2016-01-10 05:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: For the first time since Sir Douglas Mawson's Antarctic expeditions in the 1920s and 1930s, scientists will be conducting climate studies in the area known as the Kerguelen Plateau, in the Southern Ocean. The Kerguelen Plateau, hundreds of kilometres north of Mawson Station, is one of only three lines of longitude where the Antarctic Circumpolar Current flows across the Antarctic continental shelf, the deep ocean and subantarctic islands. That makes it one of the most highly productive regions...
