Climate change to drive fish away from tropics

Financial Express: Large numbers of fish will disappear from the tropics by 2050 as temperatures rise, according to a new study that examined the impact of climate change on fish stocks. Researchers from the University of British Columbia in Canada found that changing temperatures will drive more fish into the Arctic and Antarctic waters. Using the same climate change scenarios as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, researchers projected a large-scale shift of marine fish and invertebrates. In the...

Climate change forcing fish stocks north: study

Canadian Press: A study has produced the strongest evidence yet that climate change is forcing hundreds of valuable fish species toward the poles. The paper, published in the ICES Journal of Marine Science on Friday, concludes that Canadian and Arctic waters may end up with more species and greater abundance.

"The variety of species available for fisheries in the tropics will decrease," said co-author William Cheung...

Seated in a hotel coffee shop, with a packet of data in his lap, he bursts with questions for the political strategists arrayed around the table: How many early voters? How many undecided? How much spending on persuasion and how much turning out the environmental-minded vote? Later, touring an eco-friendly farm, Steyer asks about the compost used to grow the organic figs and wild berries. Is...
Lawmaker proposes carbon trading to tackle climate change in Australia

Reuters: An Australian senator released on Wednesday a proposal to penalise companies failing to meet carbon emission targets and give firms access to the international carbon market, in a move to try and break a deadlock in the country's climate policy. Australia's conservative Liberal party government in July repealed a tax on climate-changing greenhouse gas emissions for its 350 biggest companies, claiming the scheme was too costly while achieving little in terms of emission cuts. But the country,...
