'Perfect Storm' of Humans and Climate Change Doomed Ice Age Giants
2016-07-02 03:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: The saber-toothed cat, large ground sloth and other ice age giants of South America didn't go extinct solely because of climate change or prehistoric human activity, but because of a perfect storm of the two that hit the giant beasts at the same time, a new study finds. For years, researchers have debated what felled many of the megafauna animals that weigh more than 100 lbs. (45 kilograms) shortly after the end of the last ice age. Some scientists blamed humans, who had newly colonized the...
Great Barrier Reef doomed but our dome will save us

WAToday: The Great Barrier Reef is almost certainly doomed. But that's OK, because our own doom is only probable, not certain. It will die before we do. It will die because of us. But we are such a resourceful, inventive, endlessly self-seeking species that we might yet survive the catastrophe we have visited upon the planet. Maybe in domes. Yes, huge city-sized domes with a Soylent Green stall on every corner. That would be cool. The reef is not part of that future though. Like the lake districts of...

CNN: Sure, there are plenty of reasons to be terrified about the future of the planet: melting ice sheets, intensifying heat waves, vanishing rainforests, falling temperature records, dying elephants, bleached out coral and kids in China don't know the sky is blue. This stuff is serious. It's real. It's bad. But -- know what? -- it's not the full picture.In celebration of Earth Day, a day on which more than 155 countries are planning to sign a landmark U.N. agreement on climate change, here are five...
