Independent: The pledges made by countries at the historic Paris agreement on climate change would lead to completely catastrophic global warming, scientists have warned. In a major analysis of 10 different studies into the effect of what world leaders promised to do, researchers calculated that the planet was still on course for a temperature increase of 2.6C to 3.1C by the end of this century. Their finding was in sharp contrast to the landmark declaration in Paris in November last year that action...

Throughout the last Ice Age, these creatures roamed the grasslands and mountain plateaus at South America`s southernmost tip. And then, suddenly, they died out. While examining ancient specimens for a study on evolutionary history a few years ago, molecular biologist Alan Cooper realized that the species all seemed to disappear...

EcoWatch: I was a reviewer on this report months ago and as far as I can tell it hasnt changed much from when I sent in my comments. Heres what I said: In light of public polarization of opinion of GE foods, this report tries to do something quite difficultto come to evidence-based opinions about the risks and benefits of these foods now and in the future.

ClimateProgress: For many, the winters we remember from childhood are becoming just that: memories. Winters record warmth in recent years - especially the shockingly high temperatures during the first months of 2016 - has become a frightening harbinger of a world to come. Along with shorter and warmer winters, many areas also are experiencing earlier-than-normal springs, or "false springs, and sporadic hot summer-like days, a climate pattern that can produce chaos with the Earths ecosystems. "In the more...
