USA Today: Though two-thirds of Americans believe global warming is happening or will happen during their lifetimes, only about one-third see it as a serious threat to their way of life, a new Gallup Poll reports. The wide perceptual gap has existed since Gallup first asked the question 17 years ago, but it has narrowed slightly. Today, 36% believe that global warming will seriously affect how they live, up from 25% in 1997. At the same time, the percentage of people who do not see global warming hampering...

Bloomberg: Russia is considering a domestic carbon market to cut greenhouse-gas emissions and may start providing poorer nations with cash to cope with global warming, according to the countrys climate negotiator. We would like to elaborate our domestic market and eventually make it link into other markets, Oleg Shamanov said in an interview today in Bonn, where United Nations-led climate talks are being held this week. Russia may channel some money to the UNs Green Climate Fund, set up to help finance...

Economist: BETWEEN 1998 and 2013, the Earths surface temperature rose at a rate of 0.04°C a decade, far slower than the 0.18°C increase in the 1990s. Meanwhile, emissions of carbon dioxide (which would be expected to push temperatures up) rose uninterruptedly. This pause in warming has raised doubts in the public mind about climate change. A few sceptics say flatly that global warming has stopped. Others argue that scientists understanding of the climate is so flawed that their judgments about it cannot be...

Global warming is a misleading term because it actually sounds quite nice

Guardian: What does the phrase anthropogenic forcing mean to you? Or a carbon bubble would you be more likely to find one in your bath or in your pension fund? Is the greenhouse effect a better way to grow tomatoes? And what is the difference between global warming and climate change? Understanding the language of climate science can feel like sitting an exam in an unfamiliar subject. For most scientific debates, the collision between the abstruse nature of expert discourse and our ordinary lives a...
Global warming amplifying malaria risk

Agence France-Presse: Global warming will expose millions more people to malaria as parasite-bearing mosquitoes move to higher altitudes, according to new research into the health perils from climate change. Tropical highland areas in Africa, Asia and central and southern America are particularly at risk, a study in the US journal Science said Thursday. Malaria, which killed an estimated 620,000 people in 2012, is among a host of diseases that researchers warn will spread more easily thanks to global warming. For...
