Washington Post: The State Department released a draft environmental impact assessment of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline Friday, suggesting that the project would have little impact on climate change. Canadas oil sands will be developed even if President Obama denies a permit to the pipeline connecting the region to Gulf Coast refineries, the analysis said. Such a move also would not alter U.S. oil consumption, the report added. The lengthy assessment did not give environmentalists the answer they had...

Study: Climate change impact on stream flow varies by location

Corvallis Gazette Times: The South Santiam River in southeastern Linn County dwindles to a knee-deep channel of water by late August, while the Willamette River maintains a steady and abundant flow through the summer. In 50 to 100 years, however, warmer climate temperatures likely will have little effect on the summer flows of rivers like the South Santiam, but will impact larger, slower-draining systems such as the Willamette, according to a recent study co-authored by researchers from Oregon State University and the...

Climate change could impact wave height, says study
2013-02-07 16:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
SciDevNet: Average wave size will increase in many parts of the southern hemisphere over the twenty-first century, but decrease in the north, according to an international study on the impact of climate change on oceanic activity. The study, published in Nature Climate Change last month (13 January), predicts a wave height increase of between 20 and 30 centimetres in an area covering at least seven per cent of the surface of the world's oceans. This is due to the poleward intensification of the westerly winds...

Salt Lake Tribune: A House committee is set to discuss on Monday afternoon how to manage the impacts of climate change in Utahs wildlands.

That means it is important to give land managers the proper tools to prepare, the thinking goes. Join the Discussion Post a Comment Supporters of the bill include academics and a group of students who say state...
