Global warming sending tropical species uphill: study (AFP)

is driving tropical plant and animal species to higher altitudes, potentially leaving lowland rainforest with nothing to take their place, ecologists argue in this week's issue of Science.

Tropical species also threatened by climate change

If you can't stand global warming, get out of the tropics. While the most significant harm from climate change so far has been in the polar regions, tropical plants and animals may face an even greater threat, say scientists who studied conditions in Costa Rica.

Global Recession Likely, Wachovia Says

(RTTNews) - Global real GDP growth averaged nearly 5 percent per annum between 2004 and 2007, the strongest four-year period of growth in decades. However, real GDP growth rates have slowed in most countries this year, and we look for further deceleration in 2009, say the analysts at Wachovia. Indeed, we project that global GDP will grow only 2 percent in 2009, the slowest year for global growth since 1993. If credit markets remain frozen for a prolonged period of time, global growth next year could be even slower than our official projection. Indeed, it is very difficult to forecast with any reasonable degree of certainty during the middle of a global financial crisis. Underlying all of our projections is our assumption that policymakers will take the necessary steps to prevent the global financial system from completely imploding.

Global financial crisis may put Beirut's cellular sell-off on hold

BEIRUT: The global credit crunch and wait-and-see approaches by many Gulf Arab investors may prevent the privatization of Lebanon's cellular networks in the foreseeable future, some economists warned on Thursday. "This may not be the time to invite foreign and Arab companies to bid for the country's two cellular networks. The financial crisis may turn into a recession in 2009 and of course this will have an impact on the region in general," economist Kamal Hamdan told The Daily Star.

Rubber Duckies For Global Warming Research

The Wall Street Journal has a look at global warming research using rubber duckies. The toys have been employed in tracking ocean currents since 1992; but recently NASA robotics expert Alberto Behar released 90 yellow rubber ducks into the melt water flowing down a chasm in a Greenland glacier. "Each duck was imprinted with an email address and, in three languages, the offer of a reward. If all goes well, Dr. Behar hopes that one day they will emerge 30 miles or so away at the glacier's edge in the open water of Disko Bay near Ilulissat, bobbing brightly amid the icebergs north of the Arctic Circle, each one a significant clue to just how warming temperatures may speed the glacier's slide to the sea."

One in Four Mammal Species at Risk of Extinction, Report Shows

World Wildlife Fund said today that governments must double their efforts to save endangered species, as the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List revealed that one in four of the world's 5,487 known mammal species was at risk of extinction.

1/3 of Amphibians Dying Out

Death Metal sends in a Scientific American article reporting that 2,000 of 6,000 amphibian species are endangered worldwide. A combination of environmental assaults, including global warming, seems to be responsible. "... national parks and other areas protected from pollution and development are providing no refuge. The frogs and salamanders of Yellowstone National Park have been declining since the 1980s, according to a Stanford University study, as global warming dries out seasonal ponds, leaving dried salamander corpses in their wake. Since the 1970s, nearly 75 percent of the frogs and other amphibians of La Selva Biological Station in Braulio Carrillo National Park in the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica have died, perhaps due to global warming.
