Global Warming Will Intensify Drought, Says New Study
2013-12-23 18:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: When scientists think about climate change, we often focus on long term trends and multi-year averages of various climate measures such as temperature, ocean heat, sea level, ocean acidity, and ice loss. But, what matters most in our day-to-day lives is extreme weather. If human-caused climate change leads to more extreme weather, it would make taking action more prudent. It is clear that human emissions have led to increased frequencies of heat waves and have changed the patterns of rainfall...

Borneo Post: GLOBAL warming or climate change is here to stay. In fact, it is manifesting its Sahara-like presence sooner than anticipated. But what does this drastic change in global weather patterns mean to the general public? What has triggered the onset of this atmospheric phenomenon and are there ways to mitigate its impact? In essence, what is global warming? Shedding light on the subject, Datu Dr Penguang Manggil, permanent secretary to the Local Government and Community Development Ministry,...

Guardian: It was a summit of sorts, but certainly not a meeting of minds: at 10am on 19 November, six of Britain's most eminent climate change scientists entered a wood-panelled committee room in the House of Lords to face the country's most prominent climate change sceptic, Lord Lawson. The scientists had originally understood the meeting to be a private briefing for the former chancellor, following a spat between the peer and Professor Sir Paul Nurse, the Nobel prize-winning biologist and president of...

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Who doesnt remember going on their first deer hunt or seeing their first moose? Hunting and observing wildlife has long been an important part of our countrys rich natural heritage. The success weve had in restoring big-game populations has been largely due to the millions of dollars generated from the sale of sporting licenses as well as a self-imposed excise tax on sporting arms and ammunition. Our state fish and wildlife agencies have wisely used this vital source of conservation funding to...

Global warming threatens freshwater mussels
2013-12-06 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: Global warming may push many native freshwater mussel species to the brink of extinction, according to a new U.S. Geological Survey report. In a laboratory setting, the researchers found that warmer water temperatures impair mussel growth. Many aquatic biologists see mussels as bellwether species of for climate change impacts. Freshwater mussels are also good indicators of good water and sediment quality in U.S. rivers. They are also also important in the aquatic food web, filter large amounts...
