Independent: Owen Paterson has been accused of incredible complacency over climate change after new figures showed his department has slashed spending on helping Britain cope with global warming. The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) will spend just 17.2m on domestic climate change initiatives this financial year, a 41 per cent decline on the previous 12 months, according to its response to a freedom of information request. The figures will fuel fears that the Environment Secretarys...

Ecologist: Rising global temperatures are likely to double the frequency of the most severe El Nios - the periodic atmospheric disruptions which affect weather across the globe. Tim Radford reports. An El Nio is part of a natural cycle: a huge blister of heat in the equatorial Pacific, usually around Christmas-time. The phenomenon periodically triggers unseasonal floods in the western US, and extreme heat and forest fires in the Indonesian rainforest and the Australian bush. It happens and seems to have...

NGR Guardian: MAJOR flood events occur around the world every year, but with international loss databases documenting increased incidents of flooding, more material loss and greater fatality rates are these events on the increase, and are they getting worse? A new study published in Hydrological Sciences Journal examines the key reasons for increasing frequency and severity of floods; considering whether this is due to improved reporting by the media, an increasing and expanding global population, or whether...

Daily News: Br-r-r-r! Its a good thing I remembered where I stored all my old ski gear, including the thermal underwear that I hadnt worn in years. Ive needed it during a season in which even the Deep South has seen an epidemic of frozen pipes, single-digit temperatures and school cancellations without snow. School kids were allowed to stay home for a day or two because, according to administrators, the weather was too doggone cold. The deep freeze might have forced most of us into a shoulder-hunching slouch,...

Huffington Post: Despite the recent polar vortex and the efforts of some to suggest otherwise, global warming is happening. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and NASA have both said that the 10 warmest years in history happened since 2000. 97 percent of working climate scientists believe climate change is due to the actions of humans. And the risk to the planet is even greater than some scientists thought. A visualization released Tuesday by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, which...
