Canada: Prairie farmers well-placed to adapt to climate change

Regina Leader-Post: Prairie farmers in Canada are better positioned than some of their global counterparts to adapt to the realities of climate change, says a University of Regina professor poised to speak about that and other topics in Ottawa this week. "We`re well-placed because there`s been quite a bit of this move to more sustainable practices in the ag sector, but also because farmers have been adapting ever since they set foot on the Prairies," said David Sauchyn, senior research scientist at the Prairie Adaptation...

Daily Press: Hampton Roads and other threatened coastal communities have long been bracing for sea-level rise, struggling to figure out how to adapt. But a new study published Monday suggests that up to 70 percent of the coast from Virginia to the Canadian border is actually more likely to shift and change rather than drown. Barrier islands will migrate landward, get carved into dunes or split into inlets, the study says. Low-lying forests will evolve into salt marshes, and salt marshes will build up and,...
