Newsweek: Most discourse regarding climate change is based around a simple premise: The more the Earth warms, the greater the damage done to the planet. But in new paper published in Nature Geoscience, a team of researchers found that presupposition is fundamentally flawed. The reality, they write, is more ominous. Almost all the damage from climate change to vulnerable categories like coral reefs, freshwater availability and plantlife could happen before two degrees Celsius warming, the internationally...

Goals for global warming clash with reality
2015-12-11 21:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Two sets of reality are clashing as climate talks go into overtime: Diplomatic real politics and hard science. Top experts say that while a goal of limiting warming in a new draft climate agreement is laudable, the rest of the proposed pact doesnt provide the tools to achieve it and in some ways, it even goes backward. Theres an absolutely huge disconnect between the negotiations and the political rhetoric, and whats very clearly coming out of the science, Kevin Anderson, deputy director...

Climate Central: Over this past weekend, a major storm swept across the U.K. and dumped torrential amounts of rain in some spots -- the more than 13 inches that fell in one location in northwest England even set a national 24-hour rainfall record. Just days later, a real-time analysis by scientists working with Climate Central's World Weather Attribution program has found that global warming has boosted the odds of such an extreme rainfall event in the region by about 40 percent -- a small, but clear, effect,...

Trees either hunker down or press on in drying and warming western US climate

ScienceDaily: In the face of adverse conditions, people might feel tempted by two radically different options -- hunker down and wait for conditions to improve, or press on and hope for the best. It would seem that trees employ similar options when the climate turns dry and hot. Two University of Washington researchers have uncovered details of the radically divergent strategies that two common tree species employ to cope with drought in southwestern Colorado. As they report in a new paper in the journal Global...
Thursday draft Paris agreement aims for well below 2C warming

Climate Home: A draft Paris climate agreement circulated on Thursday evening was well received by veteran observers of the talks. Its clear they have made progress, said Jennifer Morgan from the World Resources Institute, but it is not over till it is over. The numbers of options for ministers to decide from has been radically reduced -- a gamble from the French presidency of the COP. The new version of a deal would commit 195 countries to slash net carbon emissions to zero in the second half of...
