Shrinking salamanders linked to climate change in study Posted: 14 Apr 2014 04:08 PM PDT Wild salamanders that live in the Appalachian Mountains are shrinking because they must burn more energy as the local climate gets hotter and drier, according to a new study. Researchers found that the salamanders they collected between 1980 and 2012 were 8 percent smaller than those collected in earlier decades, starting in 1957. The climate where the salamanders live has gotten warmer and drier, researchers said. "We compared the size of the museum specimens to the current animals and we were surprised to see that, in fact, many species has become smaller over just a 50- to 60-year period," said study author Karen Lips, a biologist at the University of Maryland.

In his remarks, Obama noted a personal connection to two of the victims, a 14-year-old boy and his grandfather, who were shot outside the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City in Overland Park, Kan.
