Study: climate change affecting fur seals in Antarctica
2014-07-27 11:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Warming climate impacting on krill population seals primary food sources is leading to animals being born smaller and females breeding later than usual, according to new research. In a study published in the journal Nature, scientists have suggested that changes in the availability of krill small crustaceans depending on sea ice have caused Antarctic fur seals from South Georgia to become food-stressed. This has meant pups being born with 8% less body mass and females breeding later...

Climate change may slowdown crop yield, study finds
2014-07-27 11:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Climate change makes 20 times more likely for corn and wheat crop production to decrease, significantly affecting food prices and availability in the long-term, according to a new study. Scientist from Stanford University and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) have said in a new study that although a massive and severe crop production slowdown is unlikely, global warming increase the risk of losses by 20 times. There is therefore a substantial risk of decreasing production of wheat...

Fracking in Nova Scotia should be put on hold to allow for more study: expert
2014-07-26 16:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Canadian Press: Hydraulic fracturing should not proceed in Nova Scotia until a broader public discussion is held and more research is completed, says the head of an expert panel reviewing the industry's potential in the province. David Wheeler, president of Cape Breton University, said Friday the province needs more time to get up to speed with the rapidly expanding unconventional oil and gas industry. "We need more research in a couple of particular areas before anyone could take a view on whether this is...
