鯨 songs and war: The いっそう少なく talked-about 気候 衝撃s

WASHINGTON (AP) - 近づく Antarctica, 鯨s are singing in deeper トンs to 削減(する) through the noise of melting icebergs. In California, a big college football 競争 game was 延期するd until Saturday because of smoky 空気/公表する from wildfires. And Alaskan 貝類と甲殻類 were struck by an 突発/発生 of warm water bacteria.

That's 全世界の warming in 活動/戦闘. 気候 change is more than 熱波s, ハリケーンs, floods, 干ばつs, sea level rise, melting ice and ever-増加するing 気温s.

いつかs 全世界の warming has a 手渡す -直接/まっすぐに or 間接に - in something quirky, such as the pitch change in five baleen 鯨 全住民s in the Southern Ocean. It can be annoying, such as having to 繰り延べる the Big Game between California and Stanford, or seeing 工場/植物s bloom too 早期に in the spring.

More often the 影響(力) of 気候 change is ominous, like oceans becoming more acidic and eating away at clam 爆撃するs and 珊瑚 暗礁s, which already got bleached by warmer waters.

Or even out-of-place and dangerous, like the Vibrio bacteria 突発/発生 in Alaska or once-熱帯の, 病気-carrying mosquitoes arriving in Canada.

It could be a bit 予期しない, like a 熟考する/考慮する linking warmer 気候 to a rise in winter 罪,犯罪s in the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs. Northeastern University criminologist James Fox says that 現実に makes sense because more people outside means more 適切な時期 for foul play.

And 気候 change has altered 全世界の politics. 非常に/多数の 熟考する/考慮するs have said it was a factor in 記録,記録的な/記録する-setting 干ばつ in Syria -one of several 原因(となる)s of the country's civil war that 誘発する/引き起こすd a 大規模な 難民 危機.

The 軍の calls this a multiplier 影響. Problems 連合させる, pile up and より悪くする each other. 気候 change does that, even in 事柄s of 国家の 安全, said Richard Alley, a 気候 scientist at Pennsylvania 明言する/公表する University.

"気候 change didn't 原因(となる) the Syrian civil war" but in a place that's unhappy, a 干ばつ arrives, 農業者s move to an overcrowded city and problems multiply and lead to war, Alley said. "It was the straw that broke the camel's 支援する."

衝突 over 気候 change 衝撃s is not 限定するd to Syria, says University of Oklahoma meteorology professor Renee McPherson. It also 適用するs to thousands of Nigerians "killed in 衝突s between 農業者s and cattle herders who are competing for 減らすing water 供給(する)s and fertile lands," she said.

"It's like a 支配 影響," said University of Hawaii geographer Camilo Mora. "You go three steps backward and you realize that 気候 change was part of the equations."

Mora scoured 科学の literature to see how often 全世界の warming 影響(力)d some of society's ills and (機の)カム up with 467 examples. Australian 地下組織の 電気の 伝達/伝染 w 怒らせるs, for example, short-回路・連盟d because of heat and 計画(する)s were grounded in Arizona because hotter 空気/公表する is thinner, making take-offs and 上陸s more difficult.

"The laundry 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる) of 事例/患者s is just mind-blowing," Mora said.

A changing 惑星 has messed with the タイミング of nature.

"There are hundreds of changes of the flowering of 工場/植物s, the leafing out of trees, the 移住s of birds" that can be せいにするd to 気候 change, said Boston University biologist Richard Primack. And when that happens, いつかs it creates "mismatches."

In Europe, for instance, oak trees now leaf earlier. Caterpillars hatch and eat leaves earlier. But birds migrate based on hours of daylight while insects 現れる によれば 気温, said 気候 scientist Jennifer Francis of the 支持を得ようと努めるd 穴を開ける 研究 中心. So the birds show up late for dinner and may have little to eat.

And in maple trees, the "whiplash" between 冷淡な and hot 天候 is "screwing up the 次第に損なう flow," Francis said. A 熟考する/考慮する 設立する the 天候 changes, 含むing drier 条件s, and more 窒素 from human activities are stunting maple growth, which can 影響する/感情 syrup 生産/産物.

全世界の warming has changed how some male 鯨s attract 女性(の)s.

ジーンズ-Yves Royer, a geophysicist at the French 国家の Centre for 科学の 研究, and 同僚s compared male baleen 鯨 songs from 2002 to 2015 and 設立する the sound frequency changed in areas where icebergs melt 予定 to warmer water and 空気/公表する. When icebergs melt, that's the loudest sound around, he said.

So the 鯨s 深くする their song, Royer said, to 侵入する through the sound of melting ice.
