As species adapt to a warming climate, ecosystems change

Environmental News Network: If it seems like you're pulling more bass than trout out of Ontario's lakes this summer, you probably are. Blame it on the ripple effect of climate change and warming temperatures. Birds migrate earlier, flowers bloom faster, and fish move to newly warmed waters putting local species at risk. To mitigate the trend and support conservation efforts, scientists at the University of Toronto (U of T) are sharing a way to predict which plants or animals may be vulnerable to the arrival of a new species....

Oceans slowed down global warming

Indo-Asian News Service: In the recent years, extra heat from greenhouse gases has been trapped in the subsurface waters of the Pacific and Indian oceans accounting for the slowdown in the global surface temperature increase observed during the past decade, shows a study. The climate researchers from University of California, Los Angeles and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory found the movement of warm water has affected surface temperatures. "The western Pacific got so warm that some of the warm water is leaking into...

This Is What Global Warming Could Do to Our Coastline

DNAInfo: If you thought flooding during and after Hurricane Sandy was bad, you haven't seen anything yet. A map built by the group Climate Control, based on data published in Science Magazine, shows the impact that two degrees Celsius of global warming could have on America's coastlines. If the data is accurate, the planet's warming will raise sea levels by at least 20 feet as early as 2200. That rise in sea level would submerge large tracts of land in all five boroughs. Neighborhoods in lower Manhattan,...
Study: Polar bear biology wont adapt to global warming

Associated Press: A study of an Alaska polar bear population in summer concludes the bears biology will not help stave off starvation in the face of global warming. The study of southern Beaufort Sea polar bears by university, federal and private researchers over three years concludes they have no special ability to minimize energy loss during increasing periods of fasting brought on by climate warming, less sea ice and fewer hunting days. The research rejects the idea that polar bears can avoid harmful declines...

Sea Warming Leads to Ban on Fishing in the Arctic
2015-07-17 02:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: The United States and four other nations that border the Arctic Ocean pledged on Thursday to prohibit commercial fishing in the international waters of the Arctic until more scientific research could be done on how warming seas and melting ice are affecting fish stocks. The agreement came as an annual report on the worlds climate released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the American Meteorological Society said that temperatures on the ocean surface reached the highest...
