Study Adds to Arctic Warming, Extreme Weather Debate
2013-12-09 01:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: A new study for the first time found links between the rapid loss of snow and sea ice cover in the Arctic and a recent spate of exceptional extreme heat events in North America, Europe, and Asia. The study adds to the evidence showing that the free-fall in summer sea ice extent and even sharper decline in spring snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere is reverberating throughout the atmosphere, making extreme events more likely to occur. The study, published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate...

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Who doesnt remember going on their first deer hunt or seeing their first moose? Hunting and observing wildlife has long been an important part of our countrys rich natural heritage.

Summit Voice: Global warming may push many native freshwater mussel species to the brink of extinction, according to a new U.S. Geological Survey report. In a laboratory setting, the researchers found that warmer water temperatures impair mussel growth. Many aquatic biologists see mussels as bellwether species of for climate change impacts. Freshwater mussels are also good indicators of good water and sediment quality in U.S. rivers. They are also also important in the aquatic food web, filter large amounts...

Pace of global warming adds urgency to change

San Francisco Chronicle: President Obama made another modest attempt to do something about climate change last week by ordering federal agencies to more than double their use of renewable energy by 2020. The operative word is modest. There is no hope of doing something truly transformational to meet the No. 1 challenge of our times in a Republican-controlled House of Representatives, where deference to consumer fear, dubious science and the clout of Big Oil continues to rule the day. The contrast between Washington's...

Time: A scientific panel has called for the creation of an early ecological warning system after finding that global warming threatens a polar sea ice collapse, vast dead zones in the ocean and mass plant and animal extinction, possibly having a dire impact on human life. A report released on Tuesday by the the U.S. National Research Council warns the abrupt effects of climate change will continue and that society needs to be better prepared, the New York Times reports. Among drastic changes that...
