Elephant seal pups suffer from ocean warming
Ocean warming has a negative impact on the condition of elephant seals, reveals a study published in the Open Access journal BMC Biology. High ocean temperatures observed from 1975 to the late 1990s are correlated with a 28% decrease in the weight of elephant seal pups. Elephant seals are shown to be sensitive to ocean temperature changes associated with both long-term 25-year cycles and short-te...Storing carbon to combat global warming may cause other environmental problems, study suggests
Growing tree plantations to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to mitigate global warming -- so called "carbon sequestration" -- could trigger environmental changes that outweigh some of the benefits, a multi-institutional team led by Duke University suggested in a new report. Those effects include water and nutrient depletion and increased soil salinity and acidity, said the researchers.<...Global warming increases oyster sensitivity to pollution
Do you enjoy eating oysters on a hot sunny afternoon? Make the most of it ?it may not last forever. Research has shown that global warming increases the sensitivity of oysters to metal pollution, causing a deadly threat to populations in polluted areas. Dr. Gisela Lannig from the University of North Carolina, USA, will present her work on cadmium poisoning in eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginic...Errors in the measurement of global warming corrected
The effect of the sun's heat on weather balloons largely accounts for a data discrepancy that has long contributed to a dispute over the existence of global warming, according to a report by scientists at Yale University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The report, to be published in the journal Science, says that direct heat of the sun on temperature probes...Clean skies=faster global warming?
When microorganisms invade the body, immune mechanisms kick in to fight them off. The infected tissues typically show depleted oxygen levels, and a protein called HIF-1 alpha regulates this. Interestingly, the cells responsible for destroying the foreign pathogens are effective in this low-oxygen environment. In a new study appearing in the July 1 print issue of The Journal of Clinical Investigat...Doyle announces new energy, global warming policies
Doyle officially created the Office of Energy Independence, appointed a global warming task force, and said Wisconsin will be part of a renewable energy credit trading sy...Global Warming Will Result In the Extinction Of Amphibians
A fungal disease in frogs caused by global warming is resulting in the death of entire populations, and also driving them closer to extinction. The threat to biodiversity // as a result of emerging infectious diseases may also result in danger to human beings. The study published by the journal Nature, reveals how the warming may alter the dynamics of a skin fungus that is fatal to am...Prevent Global Warming by Becoming A Vegetarian
Cooking meat consumes more oil and gas and can be a cause of Global warming//. The British physicist Alan Calverd, writing in this month's ‘Physics World’ said: "Worldwide reduction of meat production in the pursuit of the targets set in the Kyoto treaty seems to carry fewer political unknowns than cutting our consumption of fossil fuels," He feels that giving up pork chops, lamb cu...Global Warming Could Cause 5 Million Illnesses: WHO
These findings were reached after a comprehensive study conducted by the scientists at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. These researchers entered data on climate-sensitive diseases // into mapping software and reached their conclusions. The WHO data also shows that the worst affected by the climate change are the poor countries, who are not responsible for the phenomenon in any way. The st...Earth Will Feel The Impact Of Global Warming
Greenhouse gasses which result in global warming may result in biological, climatological, and other major changes across the world. The chemical composition of Nuttalides truempyi, which are tiny ancient sea creatures were // analyzed by the researchers Richard Norris and Flávia Nunes belonging to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, as a part of the research....Farming Plays A Crucial Role In Reducing Global Warming
Agriculture has become synonymous with food production, but that is not always the case since farming operations also provide a safe habitat for wildlife besides playing a key role in reducing global warming. // "Agriculture, which includes planted forests, is the world's largest human-managed ecosystem," said Scott Swinton, professor of agricultural economics at Michigan State University. "There...CAVR (Continuous Arteriovenous Rewarming)
Description:Using the patient's own blood pressure as the driving force, CAVR circulates cold blood through the Level 1 heat exchanger and returns it to the patient at body temperature for rapid core rewarming....MALLINCKRODT WARMTOUCH Convective Air Warming System
