Global warming threatens Atlantic cod stocks
2013-04-23 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: With Atlantic cod already moving into waters around Spitsbergen -- into Arctic cod territory -- fisheries biologists are keeping a close eye the commercially important species to determine the consequences of climate-related migrations. Specifically, researchers want to how how the fish are responding to warmer and more acidic water, and at which stages of life the changes are most dangerous to them. In the next two and a half years, biologists from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre...

On Earth Day 2013, a planetary report card on global warming
2013-04-23 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: When Earth Day observances first began in 1970, Cleveland had recently doused a pollutant-fueled fire on a section of the Cuyahoga River. Cities were often shrouded in thick blankets of smog. And large portions of Lake Erie were so fouled by industrial, farm, and sewage runoff that sections of the 241-mile-long lake were pronounced dead. As an environmental issue, global warming was far down the list of concerns. At the time, a small number of climate scientists noted a general cooling trend...
Fossil fuel funding 'grossly inconsisent' with warming limits
2013-04-20 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Age: Hundreds of billions of dollars in fossil fuel investments would be stranded, triggering a potential economic crisis, if companies continue to invest in fossil fuels while governments introduce stronger policies to limit global warming, a new report says. The joint study from UK-based Carbon Tracker Initiative and the Grantham Institute finds that $674 billion was spent on exploring and developing new fossil fuel reserves around the world in 2012. But the groups found the greenhouse gas emissions...

Global warming no slower

Lisborne Herald: YOUR editorial of Saturday 13 April 2013 titled Climate Change Express is behind schedule points to the 30 March 2013 edition of The Economist which suggests that man-made climate change is not as bad a threat as it appeared and global warming has stalled. Unfortunately the Economist conclusions are flawed and have omitted critical recent research. The global mean surface temperature is only one measure of the increase in heat content of the earth and atmosphere. We must view a whole basket...

Antarctic clams may take a hit from global warming
2013-04-19 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: Warming ocean temperatures and increased glacial outflow around Antarctica may have a big impact on clams living on the ocean floor. Younger clams try to move away when they sense warmer temperature or reduced oxygen levels, but older clams stay put. The findings by a team of British and German scientists indicate how climate change may affect biodiversity in the region, suggesting that the overall population of Antarctic clams may dwindle, since it`s the older animals that reproduce. Our...
