Ecological doubts, pipeline shortage, undercut Brazil Natgas bid
2013-11-28 13:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A lack of pipelines and access to drilling equipment as well as unclear environmental rules restricted bidding at Brazil's latest oil and natural gas rights auction to less than a third of the 240 on-shore areas offered, industry officials said on Thursday. Brazil's state-run oil company, Petroleo Brasileiro SA, also known as Petrobras (PETR4.SA), dominated bidding at the sale by taking stakes in 49 of the 72 blocks sold and agreeing to pay 73 percent of the 165.2 million reais (43.4 million pounds)...

PhysOrg: The coming century will bring many changes for natural systems and for the human societies that depend on them, as changing climate conditions ripple outward to changing rainfall patterns, soil nutrient cycles, species ranges, seasonal timing and a multitude of other interconnected factors. Many of these changes have already begun. The November 2013 issue of the Ecological Society of America's journal, Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, is devoted to an assessment of climate-change impacts...

Forest Fragmentation can lead to 'Ecological Armageddon', Researchers Say
2013-09-28 15:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Tropical forests are hotspots of biological diversity and currently occupy about 6 percent of earth's land surface, which is less than half of the area that they covered a few decades back. Conservationists claim disappearing forests would lead to extinction of many species of birds and animals. The new study shows that we might have underestimated the effects of fragmented forest cover on animal survival. Large developmental projects such as dams, roads, mines and industries are the main reasons...
