Guardian: The fire season in northern California during 2014 was the second longest in terms of burned areas since 1996. An increase in fire risk in California is attributable to human-induced climate change. The authors, Jin-Ho Yoon and colleagues make the point that California has been under drought conditions since 2012 and that the drought worsened recently. As is obvious, drought exacerbates the threat from wildfires. Last year, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection saw many more...

Failing phytoplankton, failing oxygen: Global warming disaster could suffocate life on planet Earth

ScienceDaily: Falling oxygen levels caused by global warming could be a greater threat to the survival of life on planet Earth than flooding, according to researchers from the University of Leicester. A study led by Sergei Petrovskii, Professor in Applied Mathematics from the University of Leicester's Department of Mathematics, has shown that an increase in the water temperature of the world's oceans of around six degrees Celsius -- which some scientists predict could occur as soon as 2100 -- could stop oxygen...

Global warming may affect pesticide effectiveness

ScienceDaily: The effectiveness of an important mosquito-fighting insecticide may be impaired by global warming, according to a recent study in the Journal of Medical Entomology. Two researchers from Montana State University, graduate student Shavonn Whiten and Dr. Robert Peterson, have shown that permethrin becomes less effective at killing the yellowfever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) as temperatures increase. These mosquitoes, which are found in the tropics and the subtropics, can transmit viruses that lead to...

Global warming: The great thaw

Washington Post: The river of ice that hugs Mount Grinnells high ridges is neither big nor particularly beautiful, but it may be the most accessible glacier in all of North America. In as little as three hours, an average hiker can traverse the mountains well-groomed trail to plant a foot on a frozen relic of the Little Ice Age. But if you want to see it, youd better hurry. Grinnell Glacier is disappearing -- fast. This crescent-shaped glacier in Montanas northern Rockies had been contracting for decades...

Global warming will be faster than expected
2015-11-26 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Global warming will progress faster than what was previously believed. The reason is that greenhouse gas emissions that arise naturally are also affected by increased temperatures. This has been confirmed in a new study from Linköping University that measures natural methane emissions. "Everything indicates that global warming caused by humans leads to increased natural greenhouse gas emissions. Our detailed measurements reveal a clear pattern of greater methane emissions from lakes at higher...
