Photo via Shutterstock If global warming continues unchecked it will likely cause thousands of species to radically change in order to adapt to the changing planet — and we’re beginning to see some of those changes already. In southeast Alaska, near Juneau, researchers from the University of Alaska have found that in response to warmer waters resulting from climate change pink salmon are migrating upstream earlier than they did previously . This is the first time scientists have found evidence of genetic changes in pink salmon, and it could have broader implications for how animals adapt to the changing planet.

Dinosaur Farts May Have Caused Prehistoric Global Warming
We know that today’s cows are responsible for producing staggering amounts of heat-trapping methane gas , a major driver of climate change, but British scientists now claim that dinosaurs with vegetarian diets may have contributed to prehistoric global warming simply by passing gas. Dr. Dave Wilkinson from Liverpool John Moores University led the study, which was published in the journal Current Biology . He told The Telegraph “Indeed, our calculations suggest that these dinosaurs could have produced more methane than all modern sources.” Read the rest of Dinosaur Farts May Have Caused Prehistoric Global Warming Permalink | Add to del.icio.us | digg Post tags: Climate Change , Current Biology , dairy industry , Dinosaur , eco design , emissions , global warming , green design , greenhouse gases , industrial revolution , Liverpool John Moores University , meat industry , methane gas , Sauropods , sustainable design
