Climate Central: When massive storms inundate coastlines or a veritable snowpocalypse keeps a city buried for days, the first question on many minds is: Was climate change to blame? It may play more of a role than previous studies have suggested, according to scientists who advocate a different approach to searching for the fingerprints of warming in extreme weather. In a new study detailed in the journal Nature Climate Change, these scientists suggest that if investigations focus on the well-known and robust...
Climate change a medical emergency, says study

Blue and Green: The threat climate change poses to human health is so great it should be considered a medical emergency and has the potential to undermine the last fifty years of gains in development and global health, according to a UCL-led Commission. The research, which has been published in the Lancet, argues that the potentially catastrophic risk to human health rising temperatures presents has previously been underestimated. It adds that while the technologies and finance to tackle the issue can be...

Guardian: Climate change threatens to undermine half a century of progress in global health, according to a major new report. But the analysis also concludes that the benefits to health resulting from slashing fossil fuel use are so large that tackling global warming also presents the greatest global opportunity to improve peoples health in the 21st century. The report was produced by the Lancet/UCL commission on health and climate change, a collaboration of dozens of experts from around the world, and...

Study: world in period of mass extinction
2015-06-22 18:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: The world is currently in a period of mass extinction, according to a new study. Human activities have been linked to the falling populations of many species but the research also warns that extinction on a large scale could threaten human existence. The study, which has been published in Science Advances, calls for fast actions to protect threatened species, populations and habitat. It estimates that species are disappearing up to about 100 fasters than the normal rate between mass extinctions,...
