Global warming threatens Atlantic cod stocks

Summit Voice: With Atlantic cod already moving into waters around Spitsbergen -- into Arctic cod territory -- fisheries biologists are keeping a close eye the commercially important species to determine the consequences of climate-related migrations. Specifically, researchers want to how how the fish are responding to warmer and more acidic water, and at which stages of life the changes are most dangerous to them. In the next two and a half years, biologists from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre...

Global warming no slower
2013-04-20 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Lisborne Herald: YOUR editorial of Saturday 13 April 2013 titled Climate Change Express is behind schedule points to the 30 March 2013 edition of The Economist which suggests that man-made climate change is not as bad a threat as it appeared and global warming has stalled. Unfortunately the Economist conclusions are flawed and have omitted critical recent research. The global mean surface temperature is only one measure of the increase in heat content of the earth and atmosphere. We must view a whole basket...

Texas Lawmakers Leave Global Warming Provision Out of GHG Permit Bill

Dallas Morning News: A proposal to shift permitting for emissions of greenhouse gases from the federal Environmental Protection Agency to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality won preliminary approval in the House, but lawmakers agreed to leave out climate change and global warming language. Lawmakers voted for the measure 119-23. There didn`t seem to be much opposition to moving the permitting responsibility to the TCEQ, which Rep. Wayne Smith, R-Baytown said could handle the duties much quicker than the...
Sandy, Katrina a taste of what global warming will bring, UGA ecologist says

Online Athens: Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy were separated by more than 1,300 miles and eight years, but they share one big thing in common, according to University of Georgia ecologist James Porter: They were exactly the sort of destructive superstorms we will see more frequently, as global warming advances and sea levels rise. No single weather event can be chalked up to global warming but climate scientists believe that warmer temperatures will fuel bigger and more frequent hurricanes, Porter told a University...
Clean energy progress too slow to limit global warming, warns IEA
2013-04-17 11:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The development of low-carbon energy is progressing too slowly to limit global warming, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Wednesday. With power generation still dominated by coal and governments failing to increase investment in clean energy, top climate scientists have said that the target of keeping the global temperature rise to less than 2C this century is slipping out of reach. "The drive to clean up the world's energy system has stalled," said Maria van der Hoeven, the IEA's...
