Mass Coral Killing Caused By Climbing Ocean Temperatures
Image via The Official CTBTO Photostream John Yuzhu You, a scientists at Sydney University, has called upon telecommunications companies to do something extraordinarily helpful — let scientists use their undersea cables for oceanic climate change research. By opening up both old and new cables for use by the climate science community and attaching voltmeters at locations along the lines that would read the “pulse” of the ocean, researchers could learn so much more about currents, salinity, seismology, temperatures and other vital signs. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

After experiencing the hottest decade on record (2000-2009), the hottest spring (2010), and the hottest overall Jan-June period, and then a bunch of record-shattering highs around the globe, as well as heatwaves and an unusually powerful monsoon, the media was bound to draw the connection between the extreme weather and the warming planet. It’s a bit of a tricky line to walk, to be sure — no single monsoon or heatwave, no matter how crippling, proves man is causing climate change. But ignoring that our warming climate plays a role in these weather events is dishonest too. Thankfu… Read the full story on TreeHugger
