Guardian: A 41-year old man has become the first worker at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to be diagnosed with cancer that officials recognise as being linked to his work there after the March 2011 disaster. The unnamed man, who was diagnosed with leukaemia in January 2014 after feeling unwell, spent a year working on reactor buildings that were badly damaged after a magnitude 9 earthquake triggered a tsunami that struck Fukushima and other parts of Japans north-east coast on 11 March 2011....

ThinkProgress: The world has learned much in recent years about the harmful health effects of climate change, such as heat-related deaths, respiratory and heart problems caused by air pollution, and emotional disorders that result from the consequences of extreme weather. Now researchers have found that it poses a surprising new danger: low birth weight. In a first-of-a-kind study, scientists from the University of Utah spent two years examining the relationships between fetal development and pregnant women`s...

Warmer Temperatures Linked To Earlier Spring Leaf Unfolding, New Study Shows

2015-10-05 03:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Nature World: Climate change has led to earlier spring leaf unfolding in many deciduous, or broadleaf, trees that otherwise require colder temperatures for slow release. It turns out this sensitivity has significantly decreased since the 1980s, according to researchers from the Technical Institute of Munich (TUM). This could help scientists better understand future carbon storage and potential frost damage. An international team of researchers examined how leaf sensitivity changes when faced with warming temperatures....
