Hill: Negotiations among global leaders in Paris next year meant to mitigate climate change and keep the global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius are likely to fail, according to a new study. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) report released Wednesday concludes that the outcome of next year's United Nations (U.N.) talks in Paris probably won't put the globe on the path to limiting temperature increases to 2 degrees Celsius. The researchers looked at the major players in the talks...

There's something distinctly fishy claims global warming has stopped

Telegraph: Global warming, climate sceptics keep staying, has stopped for the last 16 years or so. But nobody seems to have told the fish, who keep moving towards the poles as previously cool waters warm up. Tropical species are increasingly moving into temperate seas, a bluefin tuna has been caught off Greenland, and Britons are facing having to change the way they eat fish and chips, all as a result of the climate change, say researchers. Marine ecologist, Dr. Adriana Vergés, of Australia's New South Wales...

Guardian: While theres a 97% consensus among climate science experts and their research that humans are causing climate change, only about 67% of Americans believe global warming is even happening, including 25% of Tea Party members and 61% of other Republicans. Only about half of Americans realize that humans are causing global warming. Social scientists have been investigating this disconnect between the evidence and expert consensus, and public opinion. Is it caused by information deficit and misinformation...

Hindu Business: The latest fifth assessment report of the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts a bleak future for the world, and especially South Asia. Hinting that it may already be too late for significant course correction on global warming, the report cautions, "Regardless of action taken now to reduce emissions, the climate will change until around the middle of this century." Urgent damage control and risk mitigation are the need of the hour, the report notes. "In the longer...

For most of us, global warming has become 'normal' climate
2014-08-06 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Global warming has been going on for so long that most people were not even born the last time the Earth was cooler than average in 1985 in a shift that is altering perceptions of a "normal" climate, scientists said. Decades of climate change bring risks that people will accept higher temperatures, with more heatwaves, downpours and droughts, as normal and complicate government plans to do more to cut emissions of greenhouse gas emissions. "Because the last three decades have seen such a significant...
