Guardian: In 2013, a team of citizen science volunteers who collaborate on the climate myth debunking website SkepticalScience.com published a paper finding a 97% expert consensus on human-caused global warming in peer-reviewed research. Over the past 3 years, that paper has been downloaded more than 500,000 times. For perspective, thats 4 times more than the second-most downloaded paper in the Institute of Physics journals (which includes Environmental Research Letters, where the 97% consensus paper was...

Arctic?s red algae speeding up global warming, causing glaciers to melt fast

IB Times: A study has revealed that fields of red-coloured algae are forming on worlds glaciers and it is accelerating global warming. Previously, the experts thought the red colour of the snow was caused by some chemical spill or baby seal clubbing. However, it is just algae, and scientists are completely baffled by this weird phenomenon. Moreover, the algae-formation is causing the glaciers to melt fast. The study, published in the science journal Nature Communications, revealed that its the colour...

Business Times: Climate scientists are stunned at the latest findings that suggest the previous month May was the 13th month in a row to break previously held temperature records. Apart from the soaring heat recorded in February and March, alarm bells are ringing continuously in the form of extreme weather events, ranging from vanishing Arctic sea ice, droughts in India, the vast bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef and flash floods in the UK and in Paris. "It is in my view highly unlikely that we would be...

What Would a Global Warming Increase of 1.5 Degrees Be Like?

Yale Environment 360: How ambitious is the world? The Paris climate conference last December astounded many by pledging not just to keep warming well below two degrees Celsius, but also to "pursue efforts" to limit warming to 1.5 degrees C. That raised a hugely important question: What's the difference between a two-degree world and a 1.5-degree world? Given we are already at one degree above pre-industrial levels, halting at 1.5 would look to be at least twice as hard as the two-degree option. Indranil Mukherjee/AFP/Getty...
Trump and global warming: Americans are failing risk management

Guardian: Currently, about 40% of Americans support Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, and about 40% of Americans are not worried about global warming. While short of a majority, this is a substantial fraction of the American public failing to grasp the risks associated with a Donald Trump presidency and potentially catastrophic climate change impacts. In Business Insider, Josh Barro recently wrote about the former: Trump calls for a huge risk premium because, while he probably wouldnt...
