Manmade global warming: stormy meeting between sceptics and believers
2013-12-13 21:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: It was a summit of sorts, but certainly not a meeting of minds: at 10am on 19 November, six of Britain's most eminent climate change scientists entered a wood-panelled committee room in the House of Lords to face the country's most prominent climate change sceptic, Lord Lawson. The scientists had originally understood the meeting to be a private briefing for the former chancellor, following a spat between the peer and Professor Sir Paul Nurse, the Nobel prize-winning biologist and president of...

Similar Corals Affected Differently by Warming Oceans

Softpedia: As global warming continues to progress, the world's oceans are becoming increasingly acidic, due to their inability to capture and store carbon dioxide at the rate we are releasing it into the atmosphere. This acidification is affecting similar corals in different ways, a new study demonstrated. The fact that climate change is endangering coral reefs around the world has been known for years, but thus far very few studies have been conducted on how resilience to warming waters and acidification...

But these fiascoes haven't stopped Shell. The company is determined to gamble with pristine ocean waters once again. Yet even as the oil giant draws up drilling plans, the Arctic continues to feel the...

Shrimp Fishing Banned in Gulf of Maine Due to Ocean Warming
2013-12-09 15:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Warming ocean waters in New England have caused shrimp populations to fall so low that shrimp fishing in the Gulf of Maine has been banned for the 2014 season. That means the small Maine shrimp sold by stores and served by restaurants will get scarce or disappear entirely. Often called bay shrimp or pink shrimp, the small tails are typically used in salads. The shrimp are often sold frozen and are available across the U.S. and around the world. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commissions...
