Scotsman: Exotic butterflies and moths from the Continent have begun to colonise Britain and more northerly climes as a result of the warmer than usual summer. Increasing numbers of the rare migrants are believed to have been drawn to the UK by the summer heat and milder than usual autumn.

New York Times: If greenhouse emissions continue their steady escalation, temperatures across most of the earth will rise to levels with no recorded precedent by the middle of this century, researchers said Wednesday. Scientists from the University of Hawaii at Manoa calculated that by 2047, plus or minus five years, the average temperatures in each year will be hotter across most parts of the planet than they had been at those locations in any year between 1860 and 2005. To put it another way, for a given geographic...

Forest Fragmentation can lead to 'Ecological Armageddon', Researchers Say
2013-09-28 15:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Tropical forests are hotspots of biological diversity and currently occupy about 6 percent of earth's land surface, which is less than half of the area that they covered a few decades back. Conservationists claim disappearing forests would lead to extinction of many species of birds and animals. The new study shows that we might have underestimated the effects of fragmented forest cover on animal survival. Large developmental projects such as dams, roads, mines and industries are the main reasons...
