Plants in U.S. Southwest Moving Higher as Climate Warms, Study Shows
2013-08-15 18:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Numerous plant species on a mountain in the southwestern U.S. are migrating to higher elevations as the climate gets warmer and drier, according to a new study. After comparing the results of a recent survey of 27 plants found on Mount Lemmon, a 9,157-foot peak near Tucson, Ariz., with a similar survey conducted in 1963, researchers at the University of Arizona found that three-quarters of the plants have shifted their range significantly upslope in the last five decades. In some cases, researchers...

Warming Climate Pushes Plants Up the Mountain
2013-08-15 16:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: In a rare opportunity to directly compare today`s plant communities with a survey taken in the same area 50 years ago, a University of Arizona (UA)-led research team has provided the first on-the-ground evidence that Southwestern plants are being pushed to higher elevations by an increasingly warmer and drier climate. The researchers assessed plants growing at different elevations in the same areas surveyed by botanists 50 years ago. Photo credit: Jeffrey Eble. The findings confirm that previous...

A New Way to Measure Emissions from Chinas Coal-Fired Power Plants
2013-08-14 16:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
World Resources Institute: To prevent the most severe impacts of climate change, it is essential to limit fossil fuel use--particularly coal use in power production. The share of coal in global energy consumption is increasing, with most growth occurring in China, the largest coal consumer in the world. In China, coal-fired power plants are responsible for more than 45 percent of total fuel-combustion CO2 emissions. Because emissions management begins with measurement, accurately accounting for CO2 emissions from Chinese coal-fired...
