CLIMATE CHANGE

Due to global warming, plant and animal species are shifting their natural habitats towards the north at a faster rate, reveals a survey of over 2,000 species.

For the first time, NASA researchers have mapped the speed and direction of ice flow in Antarctica.

Humans aren't just threatening the earthly inhabitants, but we may have become a threat to the entire universe, possibly prompting aliens to destroy humanity in order to end global warming.

“This is a relatively new event and it appears closely related to the loss of sea ice habitat on the offshore of the Chukchi Sea,”

In a bid to track future sea-level increases from climate change, researchers at NASA have come out with the first complete map of the speed and direction of ice flow in Antarctica.

The map, which will be beneficial for tracking future sea-level increase from climate change, provides the speed and direction of ice flow in Antarctica. It shows glaciers flowing thousands of miles from the continent's deep interior to its coast, NASA said.

Animals and plants have adapted to global warming by moving regions up to three times faster than previously thought by scientists, a report showed.

NASA researchers recently created a complete map of the Arctic ice flow.

Many species are adjusting to the Earth's warming by migrating to higher altitudes and latitudes, a new study by the Department of Biology of the University of York said. Researchers said that species have been rapidly reshuffling, shifting in an effort to adjust to a shifting climate.

If Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas and candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, is trying to show that he's qualified to lead an enlightened, diverse, complex society amid a period of economic, social, and technological change, he's doing an awful bad impression.

In response to rising temperatures, many species of plants and animals are migrating to higher altitudes and latitudes, according to a new study by the Department of Biology at the University of York.

NASA-funded researchers created the first complete map of the speed and direction of ice flow in Antarctica, showing glaciers flowing thousands of miles from the continent's deep interior to its coast.

Plant and animal species have reacted to global warming by moving towards the north, away from the equator at a faster rate to avoid Earth's rising temperature, reveals a survey of nearly 1,400 species.

NASA has teamed up with researchers from the University of California and various space agencies to map the Antarctica ice flow.

Global temperatures soared have soared to new heights this summer, with July recording its seventh warmest temperatures since 1880 -- bringing Arctic sea ice levels to a record low in more than three decades.

Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas and a candidate for the 2012 Republican nomination for president, said Wednesday he doubts man-made climate change is occurring, and also asserted that some scientists have manipulated the climate change research data to keep the issue alive.

The United States has already tied its full-year record for storm damage -- with more than $35 billion in damage from tornadoes, floods and heat waves -- the National Weather Service said, and there are still 4 1/2 months left in 2011, including hurricane season.

New research indicates that Arctic sea ice may temporarily stabilize or expand over the next few decades after its rapid retreat that saw a historical peak in July. Arctic ice has been declining since the start of satellite monitoring in 1979, and half of the trend is attributed to human activity, the study also revealed.

New data has shown that Arctic sea ice levels plunged to a record low for the month of July in more than three decades of record-keeping.

Dead plant material from trees may release carbon through the forest soil

Not only can vampire bats locate hotspots or blood vessels in their prey using infrared vein sensors on their lips, which was revealed in a study earlier this month, the blood-sucking bats may also be carrying rabies virus, as U.S. health officials confirmed Friday the first death in the country from rabies carried by the animals.
