Bumblebees Quickly Mutating In Response To Global Warming, Say Scientists
2015-09-26 19:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inquisitr: Scientists have determined that bumblebees are quickly mutating or evolving to adjust to the effects of global warming. The bodies of bumblebees in the United States are quickly adapting to the changing climate. Scientists researched three separate mountaintops where the golden belted bumblebee used to be the most dominant species at 50 percent. However, when the research was recently conducted, the golden belted bumblebee population had fallen to account for a mere 20 percent. Studying bumblebees...

China to Launch Nationwide Scheme to Cut Global Warming Pollution
2015-09-25 16:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: China will put in place a nationwide carbon emissions trading program in 2017 and agree to stringent transparency rules in a new global climate change accord as part of a sweeping announcement President Obama and President Xi Jinping will make today, White House officials said. The joint call to action on global warming will be the second time in less than a year that Obama and Xi have stood side by side to pledge joint cooperation between the worlds two largest economies and emitters of greenhouse...
Study: Global warming, evolution are clipping bees' tongues
2015-09-25 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Global warming and evolution are reshaping the bodies of some American bumblebees, a new study finds. The tongues of two Rocky Mountains species of bumblebees are about one-quarter shorter than they were 40 years ago, evolving that way because climate change altered the buffet of wildflowers they normally feed from, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science. In one of these species, the tongue had been half the size of the bee's body the equivalent of a human tongue going...

$43 Trillion: What Scientists Calculate a Warming Arctic Will Cost
2015-09-22 16:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: The melting permafrost in the Arctic could cost the world dearly. New research calculates that the economic damage that would flow from loss of permafrost and the increased emissions of greenhouse gases would add up to $43 trillion. This is very nearly the estimated combined gross domestic product last year of the U.S., China, Japan, Germany, UK, France and Brazil. And, British and U.S. scientists say, this would be in addition to at least $300 trillion of economic damage linked to other consequences...

Global Warming Hiatus Never Happened, Scientists Say
2015-09-20 17:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Global warming has not slowed. The so-called hiatus remains just that--so-called. The world is warming as predicted and any apparent evidence that it is not doing so is a statistical illusion, according to U.S. scientists. They report in the journal Climatic Change that they applied rigorous, comprehensive, statistical analysis to the global temperature data and came up with this unequivocal conclusion. And although normally scientists like to spell out the caveats, the margins of error and...
