Germany waters down climate protection plan

Reuters: Germany has abandoned plans to set out a timetable to exit coal-fired power production and scrapped C02 emissions reduction goals for individual sectors, according to the latest draft of an environment ministry document seen by Reuters on Wednesday. An earlier version of the draft document that was leaked in May had suggested that Germany should phase out coal-fired power production "well before 2050" as part of a package of measures to help Berlin achieve its climate goals. The new version,...

Study: climate change warming Asian waters, altering monsoon
2016-07-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Each year as temperatures rise across India, farmers look to the sky and pray for rain. The all-important monsoon forecast becomes a national priority, with more than 70 percent of India's 1.25 billion citizens engaged in agriculture and relying on weather predictions to decide when they will sow their seeds and harvest their crops. But getting the forecast right remains a challenge, thanks to the complex -- and still poorly understood -- ways in which South Asia's monsoon rains are influenced...

Acidic waters dull snails' ability to escape from predatory sea stars
2016-06-29 05:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Ocean acidification makes it harder for sea snails to escape from their sea star predators, according to a study from the University of California, Davis. The findings, published in the journal Proceedings of The Royal Society B, suggest that by disturbing predator-prey interactions, ocean acidification could spur cascading consequences for food web systems in shoreline ecosystems. For instance, black turban snails graze on algae. If more snails are eaten by predators, algae densities could...

Collecting data to protect Australia's waters from toxic algal blooms
2016-06-22 06:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Diatoms are largely unseen due to their microscopic size but they are the most abundant and diverse single-celled phytoplankton (or microalgae) in the ocean. These ancient lifeforms arose during the Triassic period, about 200-250 million years ago. They house themselves in intricate glass cases, the patterns and structures of which delight artists, architects and engineers as well as marine biologists. Take a breath But are they really important? Take a breath in. Ocean phytoplankton produce...
