Guardian: Fighting climate change would help grow the world economy, according to the World Bank, adding up to $2.6tn (1.5tn) a year to global GDP in the coming decades. The findings, made available in a report on Tuesday, offer a sharp contrast with claims by the Australian government that fighting climate change would clobber the economy. The report also advances on the work of economists who have argued that it will be far more costly in the long run to delay action on climate change. Instead,...

Christian Science Monitor: The history of international efforts to rein in global warming is littered with a forest of printed reports, talking points, and treaty drafts all in pursuit of two agreements that lacked either rigorous enforcement or the participation of key signatories. Along the way, countries found common ground on some issues. But negotiations also were arduous and ripe with finger-pointing. They pitted the industrialized world against developing countries, oil-producing nations against their biggest customers,...

Farm and Dairy: Global malnutrition could fall 84 percent by the year 2050 as incomes in developing countries grow -- but only if agricultural productivity continues to improve and climate change does not severely damage agriculture, Purdue University researchers say. The prevalence and severity of global malnutrition could drop significantly by 2050, particularly in the poorest regions of the world, said Thomas Hertel, distinguished professor of Agricultural Economics. But if productivity does not grow,...

Global Climate Change Is Worsening Instability and Making It Harder to Keep the Peace

Huffington Post: As a young National Guard Infantry Officer in Afghanistan, I learned from my commander that "a 75 percent plan on time is always better than a 100 percent plan too late." The fight we were engaged in was complex, but one simple fact that I observed to be true in Afghanistan applies worldwide: wherever there is hardship and instability, violent radicals and local authoritarian thugs thrived. The battles of the 21st century have largely been waged to protect some of the world's most vulnerable populations....
