Global warming lethal to baby lizards: Nests become heat traps

PhysOrg: The expected impact of climate change on North American lizards is much worse than first thought. A team of biologists led by Arizona State University investigators has discovered that lizard embryos die when subjected to a temperature of 110 degrees Fahrenheit even for a few minutes. The researchers also discovered a bias in previous studies, which ignored early life stages such as embryos. Embryonic lizards are immobile and cannot seek shade or cool off when their surrounding soil becomes hot....

AllGov: Add another unforeseen problem to the list of consequences of global warmingthe spread of diseases. The bacteria that cause cholera, rarely seen in the United States, love warm weather. Usually winter weather halts the spread of the disease, but with longer, warmer summers and poor sanitation brought on by extreme weather events, its possible thousands more every year will contract cholera, according to Marlene Cimons of ClimateProgress. I would put cholera highest on my list to worry about...

Here's where over 90% of the extra heat from global warming is going
2015-08-04 16:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Business Insider: It's no surprise that climate change is raising summer temperatures in many parts of the globe, but what you might not know is where most of that extra heat is going. Scientists estimate that as much as 90% of it is heading straight into our oceans, and that has major consequences not only for marine wildlife but for the world's economy. The average surface temperature around the world has increased by roughly 1.08 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 40 years, but that number would be a lot larger...
Hopes dim for reversing ocean warming: Study

Discovery: Technology to drain heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere may slow global warming, but will not reverse climate damage to the ocean on any meaningful timescale, according to research published Monday. Play Video What Do Our Oceans Reveal About Global Warming? A new NASA study has revealed that the ocean abyss has not warmed in the past few years. What does this mean for global warming? DCI At the same time, a second study reported, even the most aggressive timetable for reducing greenhouse-gas...

Press Association: The majority of British people are worried about global warming, a poll has found, with flooding and sea level rise topping the list of fears for what rising temperatures will bring. A survey of more than 2,000 people found more than half (57%) were worried about global warming, with one in seven of those quizzed, or 14%, very worried about the issue. Almost two thirds (64%) thought global warming was already a problem, and seven out of 10 (70%) agreed it was going to be a problem in 20 years...
