BBC: Senior Buddhists have called on world leaders to agree a new climate change agreement at a conference in Paris next month. The 15 signatories, including the Dalai Lama, are urging politicians to completely phase out fossil fuels. They argue that the rise in global temperatures must be limited to 1.5C in the future. Observers say it is the first time that so many leading Buddhists have joined together on a global issue. The statement from the leaders of over a billion Buddhists worldwide...
Warming waters a major factor in the collapse of New England cod
2015-10-29 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: For centuries, cod were the backbone of New England's fisheries and a key species in the Gulf of Maine ecosystem. Today, cod stocks are on the verge of collapse, hovering at 3-4% of sustainable levels. Even cuts to the fishery have failed to slow this rapid decline, surprising both fishermen and fisheries managers. For the first time, a new report in Science explains why. It shows that the cod collapse is in large part due to rapid warming of the ocean in the Gulf of Maine -- 99 percent faster than...

Cods Continuing Decline Linked to Warming Gulf of Maine Waters
2015-10-29 19:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Rapid warming in the Gulf of Maine contributed to the collapse of cod fishing in New England, and might help explain why the cod population has failed to recover, even though fishing has largely ceased, according to a new study. A team of marine scientists found that rising temperatures in the gulf decreased reproduction and increased mortality among the once-plentiful Atlantic cod, adding to the toll of many decades of overfishing. Fisheries managers have tried to reverse the cods decline in...

Global warming unlocking carbon stores long-locked in permafrost
2015-10-28 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: For thousands of years, a large percentage of the worlds carbon stores have been safely locked in permafrost, the frozen layer of soil and organic matter that covers much of the planets northernmost latitudes. But as temperatures rise and some permafrost melts, that carbon is being released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide at an alarming rate. For some ancient permafrost, about half its carbon could decompose in just one week after a thaw, according to a new study by the US Geological Survey,...

European lizards may 'disappear' in warming world: Study
2015-10-28 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Lizards may disappear from parts of Europe over the next century, as global warming disrupts their life cycle and breeding habits, researchers said Monday. While all lizards are not expected to vanish, as many as 30 percent of the current population could be lost, particularly in the southern ranges of their territory, said the study in the journal PLOS Biology. "Although these results might seem dramatic, we do not predict extinction of common lizards at the scale of the species, but we suggest...
