After wildfire tragedy, talk of warming's role is dicey.

InsideClimate: Scientists agree that climate change was very likely one of the underlying triggers for the Yarnell Hill wildfire in Arizona that killed 19 firefighters on June 30. But while some of the nation's media have acknowledged global warming's link to the tragedy, others have ignored it entirely. The discrepancy highlights an ethical question that is expected to increasingly confront publications and TV networks as climate-related calamities are set to rise: Amid loss of life in weather disasters, when...

Fiji's villagers move uphill to escape global warming's rising seas

Telegraph: Fiji's picturesque Natewa Bay must be a hard place to leave, and for none more so than the villagers of Vunidogoloa, who are preparing to abandon their ancestral home in the face of the rising sea. But they have little choice: big waves now overtop a once-protective sea wall, their salt-polluted vegetation is dying. They are to move as a community a mile inland, and uphill, to a new site on the northern island of Vanua Levu. Devout Methodists, they have named Kenani, Fijian for Canaan the promised...

Why is Reuters puzzled by global warming's acceleration?

Guardian: The rate of heat building up on Earth over the past decade is equivalent to detonating about 4 Hiroshima atomic bombs per second. Take a moment to visualize 4 atomic bomb detonations happening every single second. That's the global warming that we're frequently told isn't happening. There are periods when the ocean heats up more quickly than the surface, and other periods when the surface heats up more quickly than the oceans. Right now we're in a period of fast ocean warming and overall, global...

Global Times: Although the fact is unwelcome and not yet widely acknowledged, the process of global warming will eventually transform both the physical and the institutional operating conditions of human societies in some combination yet to be determined. The basic reasons are known with reliable certainty. Carbon dioxide is currently being added to the atmosphere at a rate at least 10 times greater than any that occurred in the entire 65 million-year climate record prior to the rise of human societies. The...

Vancouver Sun: In April 2009, the science journal Nature published a paper entitled Greenhouse-Gas Emission Targets for Limiting Global Warming to 2 C. Its subject was the end of the modern world. At the time, it attracted little notice. It was a half-dozen pages long. For laymen, its technical content was impenetrable. The purpose of the paper -- researched and written by a team of European scientists headed by Malte Meinshausen, a climatologist with Germanys Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact -- was...
