Climate change on fisheries studied | The Money Times

For various temperature and fish population scenarios over the next 90 years, the [NOAA] researchers forecast that at current levels of fishing, the spawning population of Atlantic croaker would increase 60-100 percent and the center of the population would shift approximately 30-65 miles northward, with the maximum sustainable yield increasing 30-100 percent.

Trillion-dollar green troughs

You can understand why nobody at Globe is interested in hearing that this potential multi-trillion dollar trough might be sitting atop scientific sand.

RPT-Firm accused of carbon scam may face legal claims | Funds | Reuters

SINGAPORE, March 26 (Reuters) - A firm accused of defrauding Australian investors of A$3.5 million ($3.2 million) in a carbon investment scam and blacklisted by the nation's securities regulator is still operating and may face legal claims.

Plants killed by cold winter may fuel explosive wildfires

Such chaotic scenes spring up across Central Florida routinely during dry months. But the wildfire risk is higher than normal this year.

That's because the cold snaps this winter — one of the coldest on record — left vast amounts of dead vegetation — what fire and weather experts describe as wildfire fuel.

"That's fuel on top of the ground," said Cliff Frazier, a wildfire-mitigation specialist with the state Division of Forestry. "You can walk outside and pick up leaves in your hand, and if they're brown and they crumble, they could ignite."
