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.

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?

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...
