Coal And Coral: Australia's Self-Destructive Paradox
2013-03-23 11:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: NPR Science Correspondent Richard Harris traveled to Australia's Great Barrier Reef to find out how the coral reefs are coping with increased water temperature and increasing ocean acidity, brought about by our burning of fossil fuels. Day 5: A return to shore finds that people prefer cars to corals. It's not every day you open an in-flight magazine and read an ad touting "spitwater pressure cleaners for the mining industry." Flip the page and you'll also see an ad cajoling you to "snorkel, sip,...

Coral Reefs of the United Kingdom Overseas Territories
2013-03-22 15:07:28| Springer Environmental Sciences titles
series:Coral Reefs of the WorldThe tropical UK Territories have extensive coral reefs. Huge parts of these areas are exceptionally rich, productive and diverse. Their marine biodiversity exceeds that of the UK itself, and several are already, or are planned to be, strictly protected. Some of these areas serve as reference sites for many other countries with damaged reefs and they are oases of tropical marine biodiversity ...

Increase In Coral Reef Bleaching Attributed To Climate Change
2013-02-26 04:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Rising temperatures associated with climate change have already been shown to have an effect on a wide range of ecosystems and the creatures that reside within. Recent studies have now added coral reefs to the list of ecosystems that may be damaged as a result of climate change. Judging from new maps and models, the rising sea temperatures, which accompany climate change, could result in more frequent coral bleaching events, causing them to occur as often as once every year. Researchers have used...

Climate Change Threatens Caribbean Coral Reefs
2013-02-14 22:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inter Press Service: Scientists and researchers are working together in a new initiative to collect data that will help determine the effects of climate change on coral in the Caribbean Sea. "We want to know how climate change will impact our corals. So we will measure variables that would impact corals due to climate change," said Mark Bynoe, senior research economist at the Belize-based Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC). Bynoe told IPS that the idea behind the project is to be able to able to...
