Nature World: Bird populations across Europe are on the decline, and have been for the last 30 years, according to researchers, with the majority of losses coming from the continent's most common species. Approximately 421 individual birds have perished in recent decades, 90 percent of them among the most common and widespread species, including house sparrows, skylarks, grey partridges and starlings. "It is very worrying that the most common species of bird are declining rapidly because it is this group of...

Climate Change: IPCC Warns of Species Extinction and Food Insecurity
2014-10-29 11:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Business Times: A draft of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Synthesis report warns of "severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people, species and 27 ecosystems," unless action is taken, and taken soon. To keep the temperature from rising above the two degrees threshold, net global emissions of carbon must drop 40-70% by 2050, hitting zero by the end of the century. This will mean limiting carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere to 450 parts per million (ppm) by 2100, according to...

ScienceDaily: Offshore wind power is a valuable source of renewable energy that can help reduce carbon emissions. Technological advances are allowing higher capacity turbines to be installed in deeper water, but there is still much unknown about the effects on the environment. In a recent paper, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science researcher Helen Bailey and colleagues review the potential impacts of offshore wind developments on marine species and make recommendations for future monitoring...

When climate change comes after even the most common species
2014-10-13 23:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PBS: At the crack of dawn on an early winter morning, Double Gs restaurant in Paducah, Texas, would typically be bustling with hunters loading up on sausage, eggs and black coffee before they head out into the grasslands with their shotguns and pointing dogs. Some come to hunt deer, turkey and wild hogs. But most of them come to hunt the northern bobwhite quail. Smaller than a game hen, the dappled reddish-brown bird is as integral to the Lone Star States culture and economy as rodeos and oil rigs....
