Nature World News: A hotter world is a hungrier world, according to a report warning that climate change could leave millions more hungry and malnourished in coming decades. The paper, issued by the charity Oxfam, argues that the threat of climate change on food security is "much broader" than generally examined, "hitting incomes, food quality and human health in ways that are not yet well understood."

"The overwhelming evidence is that the Southern Ocean is warming," Jinlun Zhang, an oceanographer at the University of Washington's Applied Physics Laboratory, said in a statement. "Why would sea ice...
Brazil's satellite data suggests rise in Amazon deforestation over past year

Mongabay: Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon appears to have risen significantly over the past year, according to data released by the country's space agency, INPE. Data aggregated from INPE's monthly deforestation alert system shows a 34 percent rise for the 12 months ended July 31, 2013 relative to the year-earlier period. Brazil tracks deforestation on an August 1 through July 31 basis. The numbers are less dramatic than those released by Imazon, an independent Brazilian NGO, last month. In aggregate,...
