Climate Central: The scientific agreement that climate change is happening, and that it's caused by human activity, is significant and growing, according to a new study published Thursday. The research, which is the most comprehensive analysis of climate research to date, finds that 97.1 percent of the studies published between 1991 to 2011 that expressed a position on manmade climate change agreed that it was happening, and that it was due to human activity. The study looked at peer reviewed research that...

Grist: The Earth revolves around the sun. Also, it`s overheating because we`re burning fossil fuels. Can you guess which of those two long-established facts just received an additional jolt of publicized near unanimity among scientists? It was, of course, the latter. (The oil industry has no economic interest in attempting to debunk the former, and you can no longer be persecuted for claiming it.) An international team of scientists analyzed the abstracts of 11,944 peer-reviewed papers published...

Why Warming Oceans Could Mean Dwindling Fish

Time: Its easy to forget that global warming doesnt just refer to the rising temperature of the air. Climate change is having an enormous, if less well understood, impact on the oceans, which already absorb far more carbon dioxide than the atmosphere. Like so much of what goes on in the vast depths that cover more than two-thirds of our planets surface, the effect of climate change on the oceans remains a black box--albeit one that scientists are working to illuminate. Heres one way: fisheries....

Scientists say united on global warming, at odds with public view

Reuters: Ninety-seven percent of scientists say global warming is mainly man-made but a wide public belief that experts are divided is making it harder to gain support for policies to curb climate change, an international study showed on Thursday. The report found an overwhelming view among scientists that human activity, led by the use of fossil fuels, was the main cause of rising temperatures in recent decades. "There is a strong scientific agreement about the cause of climate change, despite public perceptions...

Climate Central: With ministers from the eight Arctic states meeting Wednesday in Kiruna, Sweden, for the 2013 ministerial meeting of the Arctic Council, the Obama administration has laid out a broad new U.S. Arctic policy that sets strategic goals for how the U.S. will cope with the rapidly changing region. The "National Strategy for the Arctic Region' features the conflicting goals of accessing some of the Arctic's potentially abundant natural resources -- such as oil, gas, and minerals -- and the need to protect...
