Christian Science: More than 100,000 people are expected to attend the Peoples Climate March in New York this weekend, a parade and protest that organizers hope will be the largest global rally yet to urge world leaders to act against climate change. The massive march, which will include a modest Macys parade-like spectacle of floats and marching bands, will travel a similar route down Manhattans Central Park West on Sunday. A moment of silence will interrupt the parade at 1 p.m., organizers say, but it will...

New York Times: The United Nations and the streets of Manhattan are going into global warming saturation mode, from Sundays Peoples Climate March through the Tuesday climate change summit convened by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and on through an annual green-energy event called Climate Week. Largely missed in much of this, as always seems the case with climate change discussions, is the role of population growth in contributing both to rising emissions of greenhouse gases and rising vulnerability to climate...

New York Times: At 1 p.m. on Sunday, tens of thousands of demonstrators in Manhattan are expected to make as much noise as they can with whistles, trumpets, even the tolling of church bells to raise an alarm about the risks of climate change. Similar demonstrations are planned across the United States and in 161 other countries. Two days later, that show of unity will most likely give way to political discord. The United Nations is convening on Tuesday the largest gathering of world leaders ever devoted to...

Greenlands dark snow may start global warming feedback loop

Independent: Anyone who has ever slipped over on black ice in the dead of winter will attest to how dangerous it is. But a darkening of the Greenland ice sheet could impact upon the entire world, as the hastening trend reduces the Arctics ability to reflect sunlight and increases global warming. The worlds leading expert on the ice that covers the huge expanse of Greenland has told The Independent that he was stunned to see how much darker it has become in the past year warning it could start a hugely...

Trees Growing Significantly Faster in Warming Climate, Study Finds
2014-09-18 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: An analysis of data spanning 140 years from one of the world's oldest forest study sites indicates that trees have been growing significantly faster and stands have become larger since the 1960s. The study, published in Nature Communications, was based on 600,000 individual tree surveys conducted since 1870 at a central European forest study site. European beech and Norway spruce, the dominant tree species in the experimental plots, grew 77 and 32 percent faster, respectively, than they did 50 years...
