Slate: On Wednesday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that Earth's global temperature for February was among the hottest ever measured.

Climate report: Global warmings impact on humans far more immediate
2014-03-24 00:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Top climate scientists are gathering in Japan this week to finish up a report on the impact of global warming. And they say if you think climate change is only faced by some far-off polar bear decades from now, well, you're mistaken. In fact, they will say, the dangers of a warming Earth are immediate and very human.

The program, known as the Weather@Home 2014 project, is part of a longer term and international push to develop scientific techniques to gain insight into the relationship between global warming and extreme weather events, from heavy precipitation events to heat waves.

The New Yorker reported last month that the billionaire ex-hedge fund chief Steyer, George W. Bush-era Treasury Secretary Paulson and outgoing New York City Mayor Bloomberg were launching some sort of bipartisan effort.

Marketplace: In southern Louisiana, the coast is moving. The sea is overtaking the land...pretty fast, too. Stronger hurricanes and tropical storms predicted for coming decades will wash away more of it. And while you often hear people invoke the rich cultural heritage as a reason to save the region, theres a lot of rich oil and gas companies that would like protection, too. Terrebonne Parish is the setting for "Beasts of the Southern Wild," last years Oscar-nominated film about a magical little girl and...
