Business Insider: The highest temperature ever recorded was 134.06 degrees Fahrenheit in Death Valley, California. By 2100, climate change could make that extreme a typical hot summer day in the Persian Gulf. And the worst heat could be in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, according to a study published Oct. 26 in Nature Climate Change.

A team from the University of Florida recently published their findings on that in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In them, they concluded that human activities, and less so human-driven climate change in current days, are a threat to island biodiversity's...

PhysOrg: Humans are changing the 'landscape of fear' in oceans in many more ways that previously thought, and the effects of these changes can ripple through ocean ecosystems in a wide variety of surprising ways, research by Dr Elizabeth Madin from the Department of Biological Sciences and colleagues from Simon Fraser University, Canada and the University of California and Florida International University in the United States has found. Where predators, such as sharks and other big animals, have largely...
