Daily Mail: When Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio hosts a reception for a string of A-list stars, supermodels and wealthy philanthropists later this month, he will make an impassioned plea for more action to be taken on global warming. But instead of holding the event in Los Angeles, where most of his guests are based, they will fly halfway around the world to the glitzy French resort of St Tropez - at enormous cost to the environment. Last night, green campaigners were quick to criticise 41-year-old...
Fences snare wildlife fleeing warming climate

Climate News Network: The world is becoming sadly familiar with the sight of thousands of desperate refugees escaping bombing and violence in countries like Syria being pressed against border fences erected to separate countries in Europe and further afield. Less recognised is the effect these thousands of kilometres of newly-installed border fencing is often having on wildlife. But climate change does not recognise borders, and nor do the birds or animals migrating across their territories. A study by the Norwegian...

Vast Peat Fires Threaten Health and Boost Global Warming

Ensia: As forest fires devastated Fort McMurray, Alberta, last month, a different sort of fire may have started beneath the ground. Peat, a carbon-rich soil created from partially decomposed, waterlogged vegetation accumulated over several millennia and the stuff that fueled Indonesias megafires last fall, also appears in the boreal forests that span Canada, Alaska and Siberia. With the intense heat from the Fort McMurray fires, theres a good chance the soil in the area could have been ignited, says...

Study: climate change warming Asian waters, altering monsoon

Associated Press: Each year as temperatures rise across India, farmers look to the sky and pray for rain. The all-important monsoon forecast becomes a national priority, with more than 70 percent of India's 1.25 billion citizens engaged in agriculture and relying on weather predictions to decide when they will sow their seeds and harvest their crops. But getting the forecast right remains a challenge, thanks to the complex -- and still poorly understood -- ways in which South Asia's monsoon rains are influenced...

Pledges Made at Paris Climate Talks Will Not Contain Global Warming
2016-07-02 09:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: National promises made late last year to contain carbon dioxide emissions will not be nearly enough to meet the global warming target agreed last December by 195 nations, according to a new assessment. The signatories to the historic agreement at the UN conference on climate change in Paris pledged to limit global warming to below 2°C and to aim for no more than 1.5°C rise above pre-industrial levels. The planet has already warmed by 1°C in the last century. But, climate scientists say, the...
