Reuters: The storm Colin dissipated off coastal North Carolina on Tuesday and moved out to sea after pounding the U.S. Southeast with torrential rains and winds, but flooding remained a concern in parts of Florida that received the brunt of the tropical storm. Colin was downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone southwest of coastal North Carolina. As it moved off to sea in the afternoon, it packed winds up to 60 miles per hour (95 kph), National Hurricane Center in Miami said. The storm was downgraded just...

3 Northern White Rhinos Left in World Turning to Stem Cells to Save Species
2016-06-06 18:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: The world`s last three northern white rhinos, which all reside at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, are unable to breed because they are directly related to each other. Scientists hoping to save the critically endangered species, are turning to stem cells to aid reproduction. They plan to make stem cells out of adult rhino skin cells through a process called iPS, induced pluripotent stem cells. Lab-grown stem cells of this kind are pluripotent, meaning they can make any type of cell in the body....
Northern Great Barrier Reef Loses 35% of Its Corals
2016-05-31 10:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: One-third of the corals in the northern and central parts of the Great Barrier Reef are bleached out and dying due to climate change, according to Australian researchers. The scientists have just finished months of intensive aerial and underwater surveys that documented the worst-ever bleaching event in the reef`s history. "We found on average, that 35 percent of the corals are now dead or dying on 84 reefs that we surveyed along the northern and central sections of the Great Barrier Reef, between...

Australia: Bleaching May Have Killed Half the Coral on the Northern Great Barrier Reef, Scientists Say
2016-05-29 22:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Mass bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef in the past three months has killed as much as half of the coral in the north but left large parts of the southern reaches with only minor damage, scientists in Australia said on Sunday. The current bleaching is the third to strike the roughly 1,400-mile-long reef in 18 years and the most extreme scientists have recorded. In the north, the mortality rates are off the scale, said Prof. Terry Hughes, the director of the ARC Center of Excellence for Coral...

'Huge wake up call': Third of central, northern Great Barrier Reef corals dead
2016-05-29 17:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: More than one-third of the coral reefs of the central and northern regions of the Great Barrier Reef have died in the huge bleaching event earlier this year, Queensland researchers said. Corals to the north of Cairns covering about two-thirds of the Great Barrier Reef were found to have an average mortality rate of 35 per cent, rising to more than half in areas around Cooktown. Researchers inspected 84 reefs and found coral mortality rates of 50 per cent or more in the north of the Great...
