20120820IMG_8843.jpg A Black Bear, Ursus americanus, in Banff National park, Canada. Climate change poses a threat to bears, who hibernate for around 6 months of the year. During this hibernation their metabolic rate falls by 75%, allowing them to conserve energy. Reports already show bears coming out of their dens earlier in the spring, responding to warming temperatures. An average temperature increase of even one degree can cause hibernating animals metabolic rate to begin increasing earlier in the hibernation period. This leads the bears to burn more fat more rapidly, even while hibernating.

IMG_2469_air pollution.jpg In 2008 China officially became the worlds largest emitter of C02 (greenhouse gases), largely driven by its ever increasing demand for energy most of which is met by producing electricity from coal fired power stations.  Worryingly China is building a new coal fired power station every week and has huge reserves of coal, much of which is very low grade and highly polluting. Slum dwellings in Suihua, Heilongjiang Province pump out coal smoke into an already highly polluted atmosphere.

IMG_4073_desertification.jpg China is in the middle of the worst drought in 50 years. Precipitation totals have fallen significantly across most of China's northern provinces. 60% of China's 669 major cities face water shortages, of these 110 face serious water shortages. Climate change modelling shows that Northern China is going to get significantly drier leading to crop failure and desertification which is already happening in many places in northern China.  Inner Mongolia has been particularly badly hit with ever drier conditions and creeping desertification. Here a sand storm sweeps across a highway in Inner Mongolia
