Pope Francis blasts global warming deniers leaked draft encyclical

Washington Post: A draft of a major environmental document by Pope Francis says the bulk of global warming is caused by human activity and calls on people -- especially the worlds rich -- to take steps to mitigate the damage by reducing consumption and reliance on fossil fuels. In words likely to anger some of his conservative critics, the pope backs the science of climate change, saying plenty of scientific studies point out that the last decades of global warming have been mostly caused by the great concentration...

Current climate pledges won't prevent dangerous warming agency says

InsideClimate News: Pledges made so far by Europe, the United States and China to cut greenhouse gas emissions aren't enough to keep global warming within safe limits, according to a new report by the International Energy Agency. But the agency also said that if nations increase their efforts, there is just enough time to change direction with existing technology and without economic penalty. In this year's climate talks, the analysis says, the overall test of success is whether the world's governments demonstrate...

SciDevNet: Saudi Arabia has blocked attempts to negotiate an even tougher global warming target to prevent dangerous climate change -- as well as proposals for more research on this -- during the latest talks in preparation of the UN's next major climate summit. The majority of delegates at last week's UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) meeting in Bonn supported a draft proposal to keep an alternative target on the negotiating table of capping global warming since pre-industrial levels at...

New Kerala: Researchers at the University of Gothenburg revealed that the concentration of nitrogen in plants' tissue is lower in air with high levels of carbon dioxide, regardless of whether or not the plants' growth is stimulated. The study examines various types of ecosystems, including crops, grasslands and forests, and involves large-scale field experiments conducted in eight countries on four continents. Researcher Johan Uddling said that the findings are unequivocal. The nitrogen content in the crops...

Polar bears are changing diet because of global warming study
2015-06-13 11:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Researchers in Norway have spotted a polar bear eating a dolphin for the first time and have suggested that climate change is pushing the species further north in the Arctic region. Effects of warmer climate is making polar bears adapting to other preys that are not usually hunted, according to scientists in Norway, who published their findings in a new study. The team first saw a polar bear eating the carcasses of two white-beaked dolphins in the Norwegian Arctic in spring 2014. During the following...
