Each week Uprising will analyze the most pressing climate change stories of the past week with our guest Kelly Mitchell, Coal Campaigner for Greenpeace. <\/em><\/p>\nFrom Global Post<\/a>: An ‘environmental train wreck.’ That\u2019s what leading environmental scientists say that Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has engineered, in less than one year in office. They say the changes he\u2019s implementing could result in irreversible damage to some of the world\u2019s most fragile ecosystems.”<\/p>\n
From Associated Press<\/a>: “As temperatures climb across the Southwest, researchers have found some species will win, but others stand to lose \u2014 and lose big…The jay stands to lose nearly one-third of its breeding range, while other birds could lose as much as 80 percent by the end of the century. On the other hand, the tortoise is the only reptile studied that isn’t projected to see a decrease in suitable habitat.”<\/p>\n
From the Guardian<\/a>: “For those concerned about climate change, the ultra-conservative Heartland Institute offers up a calming solution: try thinking of yourself as a pea, instead of a human. Peas in a lab sprouted faster with extreme concentrations of carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas mainly responsible for climate change than under normal growing conditions, Heartland said.”<\/p>\n
