ClimateWire: Senate Democrats may find themselves divided on the issue of climate change this year, if the events of yesterday are any indication. On the one hand, a group of chamber Democrats led by Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) pledged that a new caucus of Democrats would spend the year preaching the gospel of climate change mitigation on the Senate floor and in caucus meetings in hopes of paving the way for climate legislation.

Not much. Sorry. A cold snap in the U.S. can't disprove global warming any more than you can get rid of a fever by sticking your hand in ice water. (Similarly, the record heat hitting Australia right now doesn't, on its own, prove all that much.) But since a lot of people -- like Donald Trump -- seem confused on this point,...

International Business Times: Theres nothing like a blast of winter weather to bring climate change skeptics out of the woodwork, asking if global warming can really exist if its cold outside. But most climate scientists will tell you that a warming climate does not mean that a period of eternal summer descends across the planet.

Summit Voice: Warming ocean temperatures will have a cascading effect reaching even the deepest parts of the ocean, researchers with the UK`s National Oceanography Centre warned in a new paper published in the scientific journal Global Change Biology. Their study quantifies future losses in deep-sea marine life, finding that marine life on the ocean floor will decline by up to 38 percent in the North Atlantic and by more than 5 per cent globally during the next century. These changes will be driven by a...
