Tropical regions to be hardest hit by fisheries shifts caused by climate change: UBC research
Major shifts in fisheries distribution due to climate change will affect food security in tropical regions most adversely, according to a study led by the Sea Around Us Project at The University of British Columbia. view more (2009-10-08)
Groundbreaking proposals unveiled for the inclusion of climate change data in annual reports
The Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) today announced proposals designed to assist directors in the inclusion of climate change-related information in companies' annual reports. view more (2009-05-26)
Changes in Ocean Circulation Could Lead To Rapid Regional Sea Level Change
One of the major consequences of future ocean circulation changes would be sea level change. This is shown in a new study by scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany which was published in the recent issue of "Climate Dynamics". They investigated the scenario of a possible shutdown of the Atlantic overturning... view more... (2005-04-04)
Marine deserts could give clues to understanding climate change
Remote 'marine deserts' in the Atlantic Ocean could provide scientists with valuable clues to understanding climate change. A research team led by the Plymouth Marine Laboratory will shortly set sail from the Falkland Islands, for the start of an expedition to study the interaction between tiny floating marine organisms (plankton) and the... view more...

Arctic undergoing holistic climate-change response
From glaciers to caribou, rivers to roads, Arctic climate change is having a broad effect on almost every aspect of life in the North. view more (2005-10-31)
Antarctica glacier retreat creates new carbon dioxide store
Large blooms of tiny marine plants called phytoplankton are flourishing in areas of open water left exposed by the recent and rapid melting of ice shelves and glaciers around the Antarctic Peninsula. view more (2009-11-10)
Global warming capable of sparking mass species extinctions
The Earth could see massive waves of species extinctions around the world if global warming continues unabated, according to a new study published in the scientific journal Conservation Biology. view more (2006-04-12)
Corals and Climate Change
A modest new lab at the Rosenstiel School is the first of its kind to tackle the global problem of climate change impacts on corals. view more (2007-08-23)
Alaska researchers contribute to national climate change report
Two University of the Alaska Fairbanks researchers are among key contributors to a new national report that details visible effects of climate change in the United States and how today's choices stand to affect the future. view more (2009-06-17)
Time to lift the geoengineering taboo
Hot on the heels of the Royal Society's Geoengineering the Climate report, September's Physics World contains feature comment from UK experts stressing the need to start taking geoengineering - deliberate interventions in the climate system to counteract man-made global warming - more seriously. view more (2009-09-01)
Complex dynamics underlie bark beetle eruptions
Forest management that favors single tree species and climate change are just two of the critical factors making forests throughout western North America more susceptible to infestation by bark beetles, according to an article published in the June 2008 BioScience. view more (2008-06-02)
Antarctica - an awakening giant?
The crucial role that Antarctica plays in global climate change and its future contribution to sea-level rise was highlighted today by Professor Chris Rapley, Director of British Antarctic Survey (BAS). Speaking at an international convention on climate change in Bonn, Germany* he presented a summary of the latest scientific results from... view more... (2005-05-19)
Climate change threatens rice production
Once-in-a-lifetime floods in the Philippines, India's delayed monsoon, and extensive drought in Australia are taking their toll on this year's rice crops, demonstrating the vulnerability of rice to extreme weather. view more (2009-10-16)
Climate change: The rice genome to the rescue
The sequencing of the rice genome could help mitigate the impact of climate change on the world's poor. view more (2006-03-28)
Climate change means bigger medical, council and property bills
Climate change concerns like melting icecaps, increased desertification, loss of coral reefs and the extinction of species like polar bears can seem a distant concern in our everyday lives. Little attention, however, has been paid to the likelihood of increased bills, through tax and insurance charges, that will be incurred as the UK climate... view more... (2009-03-11)
Television Has Less Effect on Education about Climate Change than Other Forms of Media
Worried about climate change and want to learn more? You probably aren't watching television then. A new study by George Mason University Communication Professor Xiaoquan Zhao suggests that watching television has no significant impact on viewers' knowledge about the issue of climate change. Reading newspapers and using the web, however, seem to... view more... (2009-10-19)
Climate change did not influence prehistoric survival techniques in the tropics
The assumption that inhabitants of the tropics adapted their technology as a result of climate change was based in part on flakes from another Colombian site, at Tequendama. Many different types of stone tools have been found there and archaeologists assumed that each of them had a special function. Flakes with concave edges, for example, were... view more...

Overall Antarctic snowfall hasn't changed in 50 years
The most precise record of Antarctic snowfall ever generated shows there has been no real increase in precipitation over the southernmost continent in the past half-century, even though most computer models assessing global climate change call for an increase in Antarctic precipitation as atmospheric temperatures rise. view more (2006-08-11)
Change on the range
In the Southwestern U.S., land managers face equally critical and difficult decisions when it comes to their ranges. view more (2007-08-14)
New report cites ethics and justice as critical in world's approach to climate change
Ethics, human rights, and distributive and procedural justice must be an integral component of international negotiations seeking any comprehensive solution to climate change, according to a new report released here today at the United Nations Climate Change Conference. view more (2006-11-08)
