InsideClimate: Winter storm Juno is expected to dump as much as 3 feet of snow across parts of New England early this week. Media outlets have already dubbed the storm "a massive blizzard of epic proportions." Schools closed their doors, grocery stores had their shelves stripped and governors announced travel bans along most of the storm's path. But on social media, Juno is being pointed to as the latest evidence that global warming is not happening, or that it's even a hoax or scam--an assertion that scientists...

Mashable: In a series of votes that took place on Thursday and Friday, the U.S. Senate voted against four separate measures that would have put it on record as recognizing what the vast majority of climate scientists have shown for decades now: that global warming since the start of the industrial revolution is largely manmade. The votes, which were on amendments to a bill that would force the White House to approve the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline, signaled just how far out of step the Republican...

Science Daily: The coverage of living corals on Australia's Great Barrier Reef could decline to less than 10 percent if ocean warming continues, according to a new study that explores the short- and long-term consequences of environmental changes to the reef. Environmental change has caused the loss of more than half the world's reef building corals. Coral cover, a measure of the percentage of the seafloor covered by living coral, is now just 10-20 percent worldwide. The Great Barrier Reef, once thought to be...
Global wheat yields threatened by warming with serious consequences

Ecologist: Just one degree of global warming could cut wheat yields by 42 million tonnes worldwide, around 6% of the crop, writes Paul Brown - causing devastating shortages of this staple food. Market shortages would cause price rises. Many developing countries, and the hungry poor within them, would not be able to afford wheat or bread. Climate change threatens dramatic price fluctuations in the price of wheat and potential civil unrest because yields of one of the world's most important staple foods...
