Clock is ticking, slowly, on rules for coal-fired power plants
2013-05-12 22:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: On a curve of the Potomac River 37 miles northwest of Washington, the Dickerson power plant has stood sentry over small villages, crop fields and horse farms for more than half a century. Burning mostly coal and some natural gas, Dickerson emitted about 1.5 million tons of greenhouse gases in 2011, akin to the pollution of about 275,000 cars. How much longer Dickerson will run depends in no small measure on the steps President Obama takes to fulfill the pledge he made in his State of the Union...

Climate Change Will Cause Widespread Global-Scale Loss of Common Plants and Animals, Researchers Predict
2013-05-12 21:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: More than half of common plants and one third of the animals could see a dramatic decline this century due to climate change, according to research from the University of East Anglia. This means that geographic ranges of common plants and animals will shrink globally and biodiversity will decline almost everywhere. Plants, reptiles and particularly amphibians are expected to be at highest risk. Sub-Saharan Africa, Central America, Amazonia and Australia would lose the most species of plants...

Climate change forecast to shrink habitat of common plants, animals
2013-05-12 19:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The habitats of many common plants and animals will shrink dramatically this century unless governments act quickly to cut rising greenhouse gas emissions, scientists said on Sunday after studying 50,000 species around the world. The scientists from Britain, Australia and Colombia said plants, amphibians and reptiles were most vulnerable as global temperatures rise and rainfall patterns change. About 57 percent of plants and 34 percent of animal species were likely to lose more than half the area...

Common plants, animals threatened by climate change, study says
2013-05-12 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: Climate change could lead to the widespread loss of common plants and animals around the world, according to a new study released Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change. The study's authors looked at 50,000 common species. They found that more than half the plants and about a third of the animals could lose about 50% of their range by 2080 if the world continues its current course of rising greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change affects the availability of nutrition and water for animals...
