Environmental News Network: There was a period during the last ice age when temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere went on a rollercoaster ride, plummeting and then rising again every 1,500 years or so. Those abrupt climate changes wreaked havoc on ecosystems, but their cause has been something of a mystery. New evidence published this week in the leading journal Science shows for the first time that the ocean's overturning circulation slowed during every one of those temperature plunges - at times almost stopping. "People...

Blue and Green: How contemporary artists are becoming climate change activists A new wave of artists are blurring the lines between activism and art by tackling climate change. As a channel of expressive freedom, art has traditionally been a method of communication between humans about the conditions of life.

Climate change could reduce Adélie penguin populations

Treehugger: Even a species that has benefited from temperature increases in the past may be hurt by excessive warming. Adélie penguins (Phygoscelis adeliae) have lived in Antarctica for millions of years. They are one of only two penguin species found exclusively on the continent, the other being Emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri). Unlike Emperor penguins, which trek for miles to breeding colonies located in ice-covered regions of Antarctica, Adélie penguins breed solely in ice-free areas along the coast,...
