Climate change turning clear mountain lakes green in US: Researchers

Researchers have suggested that global warming is turning clear mountain lakes green in western US because of an increase in algae blooms "without historical precedent". They found the concentration of algae in two remote mountain lakes more than doubled in the past 70 years. On examining algae concentrations in some lakes, researchers found "dramatic changes" in algal abundance.Continue...

The Vanishing Ice: Climate Change and Its Dire Impact on Arctic Wildlife

 Introduction: In the vast, icy expanses of the Arctic, a silent crisis is unfolding. The effects of global warming are nowhere more apparent than in this frigid wilderness, where the reality of climate change has become a daily struggle for survival for its inhabitants. The Shrinking Arctic Ice: At the heart of this crisis is the rapid melting of sea ice. The Arctic's ice caps, integral to the region's ecosystem, are shrinking at alarming rates. This loss of ice is not just a statistic; it's a dramatic shift that is uprooting the lives of the wildlife that call the Arctic home. Polar Bears: Icons of Climate Change: Polar bears, the majestic symbols of the Arctic, are perhaps the most visibly affected. Dependent on sea ice for hunting seals, their primary food source, these bears are finding their hunting grounds disappearing. As a result, they are forced to swim longer distances and face starvation, leading to a decline in their population. Arctic Foxes and Seals: Adapting

Antarctica's snow turning green due to climate change: Study

The snow in Antarctica is turning green as microscopic algae bloom across the surface of the melting snow due to climate change, a study published in the journal Nature Communications said. The distribution of green snow algae is also influenced by marine birds and mammals, whose excrement acts as a nutritious natural fertiliser to accelerate algal growth, the study said.
