Fish more vulnerable to warming water than first thought
Read full article: Fish more vulnerable to warming water than first thoughtGlobal warming looks like it will be a far bigger problem for the worlds fish species than scientists first thought, since a study led by Dahlke released on Thursday, July 2, 2020 shows that when fish are spawning or are embryos they are far more vulnerable to hotter water. (Dr. F. Dahlke via AP)Global warming looks like it will be a bigger problem for the worlds fish species than scientists first thought: A new study shows that when fish are spawning or are embryos they are more vulnerable to hotter water. For adult fish, around 2% to 3% of the species would be in the too-hot zone in the year 2100 with similar projected warming. So using this new approach reveals a previously unknown problem for the future of fish, scientists said. With spawning fish and embryos most sensitive to warming waters, it means fish populations wont be able to replace themselves, said Rutgers University ecologist Malin Pinsky, who wasnt part of the study but praised it.
Did climate change effect hurricanes Irma and Harvey?
Read full article: Did climate change effect hurricanes Irma and Harvey?(GMG) – The question is going to be asked many times, by many people: Did global warming cause or have any impact on Hurricane Irma? Here's the truth about the relationship between global warming and hurricanes Irma and Harvey. Something else to consider is that, as the world warms, more ocean water evaporates into the atmosphere (which has been documented...it's happening). Now, let's apply all of this information to hurricanes Irma and Harvey:---------Did global warming cause Irma or Harvey? So, global warming may have been part of the reason that Harvey rapidly intensified just before landfall, and Irma became a record-breaking hurricane.
