BusinessGreen: Cities around Europe may have to erect flood barriers similar to the Thames Barrier that protects London from sea surges, as climate change takes hold and leads to the danger of much more destructive storms, floods, heavy rainfall and higher sea levels, Europe's environmental watchdog has warned. The effects of climate change will be so far-reaching across the continent that vineyards may have to plant new grape varieties, farmers may have to cultivate new crops and water suppliers look to technology...

Questions raised on snowshoe hares' ability to adapt to climate change

Missoulian: During the course of his study on snowshoe hares, Scott Mills snapped a photo of a white rabbit against a brown forest canopy. It wasnt the only hare caught with a white coat in a forest void of snow, and it prompted a University of Montana research team to question the species ability to adapt to environmental shifts brought by climate change. Mills, a professor in the University of Montanas College of Forestry and Conservation, aided by his team of researchers, recently published the findings...

AlertNet: A recent article in The Economist magazine asserted that the air temperature of the planet has been flat for the past 15 years despite a steady increase in the greenhouse gas concentration of the atmosphere. The authors find the lack of warming surprising, given the large volume of greenhouse gases that were pumped into the atmosphere between 2000 and 2010. They then provided a lucid explanation of climate sensitivity and suggested that the apparent pause in temperature increase may mean that a...

Daily News: Stressing on the need to "mitigate the emissions of greenhouse gases as part of the overall solution", renowned environmental scientist Rajendra K. Pachauri Saturday said management of enterprises across the globe will have to adapt to impact of climate change. "The management of every enterprise across the globe will have to adapt to these impacts of climate change, because with inertia in the system, climate change and its impacts will continue for several years even if we were to reduce the...

Some microscopic marine organisms could adapt to climate change

Planet Earth: Certain tiny, ocean-dwelling creatures called foraminifera can survive in conditions similar to those caused by ocean acidification, say scientists. Elphidium excavatum The researchers, from Plymouth University and the National Autonomous University of Mexico, found the first evidence that some foraminifera can handle very low-pH conditions near seafloor vents in the Gulf of California. Carbon dioxide bubbles up through these vents, lowering the pH of the surrounding seawater and mimicking conditions...
