Guardian: When scientists think about climate change, we often focus on long term trends and multi-year averages of various climate measures such as temperature, ocean heat, sea level, ocean acidity, and ice loss. But, what matters most in our day-to-day lives is extreme weather. If human-caused climate change leads to more extreme weather, it would make taking action more prudent. It is clear that human emissions have led to increased frequencies of heat waves and have changed the patterns of rainfall...

Making Meat More Expensive Can Help Fight Climate Change, Global Warming

Softpedia: A report published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science this past Monday shows that the practice of raising animals for meat, eggs and dairy releases loads of greenhouse gases emissions on a yearly basis. Hence, it is a major contributor to climate change and global warming. A new paper in today's issue of journal Nature Climate Change offers a solution to this problem. Long story short, researchers say that making meat -- especially meat from ruminants -- more expensive...

Yale Environment 360: For 25 years, photographer Peter Essick has traveled the world for National Geographic magazine, with many of his recent assignments focusing on the causes and consequences of climate change. In a Yale Environment 360 photo essay, we present a gallery of images Essick took while on assignment in Antarctica, Greenland, and other far-flung locales. The photographer says that what most struck him was the dedication of the scientists who have committed themselves to documenting the effects of global...

Borneo Post: GLOBAL warming or climate change is here to stay. In fact, it is manifesting its Sahara-like presence sooner than anticipated. But what does this drastic change in global weather patterns mean to the general public? What has triggered the onset of this atmospheric phenomenon and are there ways to mitigate its impact? In essence, what is global warming? Shedding light on the subject, Datu Dr Penguang Manggil, permanent secretary to the Local Government and Community Development Ministry,...

Fingerprints of Arctic Warming Seen Throughout Region
2013-12-14 15:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The Arctic may not have smashed records for sea ice loss and land-based ice melt in 2013, but the region is still clearly undergoing rapid changes as a result of manmade global warming, scientists reported Thursday. The release of the annual Arctic Report Card, which was written by 147 scientists from 14 nations, shows that spring snow cover throughout large parts of the Arctic remains in free-fall, that older, thicker sea ice cover is a thing of the past, and that commercially valuable fish species,...
