Subtle but very real link between global warming & extreme weather events
2015-06-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: Last week, some people got really mad at Bill Nye the Science Guy. How come? Because he had the gall to say this on Twitter: Billion$$ in damage in Texas & Oklahoma. Still no weather-caster may utter the phrase Climate Change. Nyes comments, and the reaction to them, raise a perennial issue: How do we accurately parse the relationship between climate change and extreme weather events, as they occur in real time? Its a particularly pressing question of late, following not only catastrophic...
Study: Global warming risks changes ocean life unprecedented 3 million years

Washington Post: Continued warming of the Earths oceans over the next century could trigger disruptions to marine life on a scale not seen in the last 3 million years, scientists warn in a study released Monday. The changes could include extinctions of some of the oceans keystone species as well as a widespread influx of invasive animals and plants that migrate to new territory because of changing environmental conditions, the report says. But the most dramatic disruptions would likely be averted if the...
Global warming may cause largest ocean species migration in 3 million years

Mashable: If greenhouse gas emissions are not curtailed soon, then global warming may bring about the most sweeping re-arrangement of ocean species in at least 3 million years, according to a new study. The study, published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change, shows that by the end of the century, the polar regions may be have some of the most abundant and diverse sea life of anywhere on the planet, while the tropics, which are currently the crown jewel of marine species richness, may be drained...

Global Warming Spawns Hybrid Species

ClimateWire: Only purebred dogs are allowed to compete at the Westminster Kennel Club's annual dog show. "The basic purpose of dog shows is to facilitate the evaluation of breeding stock for use in producing the next generations,' the organization's website says. Judges choose winners based on how closely a dog fits a standard, or "ideal breed.' Standards are based on both personality traits and physical ones--from eye color to ear shape and even tail placement. Mutts need not apply. It is competitions...

Study finds frog decline could be related water warming, copper pollution
2015-06-01 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
KTVA: New evidence supports theories that water pollution from road runoff may increase mortality and abnormalities in frogs. Scientists at Alaska Pacific University, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the University of California, Davis, found that wood frog tadpoles were attacked by dragonfly larvae sooner and more often in warmer water with increased copper pollution - as opposed to cooler, copper-free water. Fish and Wildlife says in cool, clean water, tadpoles have a "fighting chance" to...
