Inter Raksyon: In order to prepare the country for the effects of climate change especially on agriculture, newly appointed Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel "Manny" Pinol has ordered the updating of soil analysis data nationwide. Pinol said national soil testing and sampling is very vital in determining which region of the country could grow which crop best based on soil components and fertility. Also, it would effectively guide the DA and the farmers in determining what nutrients are deficient in the soil...

Climate data since Vikings cast doubt on more wet, dry extremes
2016-04-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: OSLO Climate records back to Viking times show the 20th century was unexceptional for rainfall and droughts despite assumptions that global warming would trigger more wet and dry extremes, a study showed on Wednesday. Stretching back 1,200 years, written accounts of climate and data from tree rings, ice cores and marine sediments in the northern hemisphere indicated that variations in the extremes in the 20th century were less than in some past centuries. "Several other centuries show stronger...

ScienceDaily: Water availability in the Northern Hemisphere has seen much larger changes during the past twelve centuries than during twentieth century global warming, a new study in Nature reports. The team with participation of the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL concludes that climate models overestimate wet and dry extremes as temperatures increased during the twentieth century. The new results can help to improve the ability of climate models to predict future hydroclimate changes. The researchers from...

Sanders then stressed the urgency of the challenge and cited his proposals to address it. "It is absolutely vital that we act boldly to move our energy system away...

Forbes: It has been a busy week for climate change. In his first visit to the United States, Pope Francis chose to make climate change a central tenant of his trip, speaking about it more than any other topic in his address on the White House lawn on Wednesday, emphasizing it in his United Nations speech, and choosing it as his single call to action when speaking before Congress Thursday. On Friday China announced a new cap-and-trade emissions reduction program. All of this comes on the heels of President...
