Study: Global warming wont cut winter-related deaths

Summit Voice: Even though winters may become warmer as climate change ramps up, it probably won`t result in a big reduction of winter deaths, says a new study that contradicts the conventional wisdom on health impacts of climate change. "For years I`ve been hearing people say that global warming will reduce winter deaths but I wanted to check this claim out for myself," said Columbia University Professor Patrick Kinney. Kinney and his colleagues used statistical methods to pick apart the possible factors...

Pope Francis blasts global warming deniers leaked draft encyclical
2015-06-16 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
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...

Saudi Arabia blocks drive tighten global warming cap

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...

Here's how global warming is affecting crop nutrient quality

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...

The professor who claims the global warming fight is too expensive
2015-06-13 05:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Globe and Mail: Bjorn Lomborg says he is not a climate-change denier, he is a realist who knows better ways of improving the world than a head-on assault on global warming. It's not easy to take a public stand against the internationally agreed upon goal of limiting the increase in average temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels - a rise that some scientists describe as a tipping point that would be followed by the collapse of ice sheets, rising sea levels and an onslaught of dramatic weather...
