Global Warming Is Draining the Waters of Life
2015-11-14 18:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Up to two billion people who depend on winter snow to deliver their summer water could see shortages by 2060 as upland and mountain snowpacks continue to dwindle. An estimated 300 million people could find, 45 years on, that they simply wont have enough water for all their needs, according to new research. Climate change driven by rising atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide-in turn, fed by human combustion of fossil fuels-may already be affecting global precipitation. Researchers have consistently...

The Earth is on track to end 2015 with an average 1 degree C warming

Grist: Its all but certain that 2015 will end up as the hottest year on record. And in setting that mark, the world is on track to finish the year 1 degree C above pre-industrial levels, a dubious milestone. That would make 2015 the first year to crack the halfway mark of 2 degrees C warming, the benchmark thats been targeted as safe climate change and what nations are working toward meeting ahead of climate talks in Paris in December. But Mondays announcement by the U.K. Met Office hints at how...

When's a warming treaty not a treaty?

Associated Press: It's the elephant in the negotiating room that few officials want to acknowledge: Whatever international deal comes out of Paris climate talks, it likely won't be a treaty that needs ratification by a reluctant Republican U.S. Congress. That's not the only complication in Paris. China, the U.S. and India don't want the international community dictating their carbon dioxide emissions, but they do want to do something about ever escalating greenhouse gas levels and the rising temperatures they cause....
Breeding flexibility helps migratory songbirds adjust to climate warming
2015-11-12 13:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EurekAlert: Phenological mismatches, or a mistiming between creatures and the prey and plants they eat, is one of the biggest known impacts of climate change on ecological systems. But a Dartmouth-led study finds that one common migratory songbird has a natural flexibility in its breeding time that has helped stave off mismatches, at least for now. The results suggest this flexibility provides a buffer against climate warming for the black-throated blue warbler in eastern North America and potentially for...
