Reuters: There has been no reverse in the trend of global warming and there is still consistent evidence for man-made climate change, the head of the U.N. World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) said on Monday. A slow-down in the average pace of warming at the planet's surface this century has been cited by "climate sceptics" as evidence that climate change is not happening at the potentially catastrophic rate predicted by a U.N. panel of scientists. But U.N. weather agency chief Michel Jarraud said...

Associated Press: Much of the extreme weather that wreaked havoc in Asia, Europe and the Pacific region last year can be blamed on human-induced climate change, the U.N. weather agency says. The World Meteorological Organization's annual assessment Monday said 2013 was the sixth-warmest year on record. Thirteen of the 14 warmest years have occurred in the 21st century.

Reflector: They say if you put a frog in a pot and slowly heat the water, it won`t know to jump out and will slowly get cooked. While the literal veracity of this old tale may be doubtful, the principle might well apply to societies. At a recent symposium held by ECU`s Center for Biodiversity, a group of biologists from across the country discussed how our warming planet is turning up the heat on biodiversity loss. With a focus on the southeastern United States, the meeting provided findings and lessons...
