Hill: Climate change could get in the way of future Olympic Winter Games, a new study finds. If the globe continues to warm at its current rate -- and measures aren't taken to mitigate climate change -- the report concludes that only six out of the last 19 locations that hosted the winter games will be cold enough to hold them by the end of the century. The report was conducted by the University of Waterloo and Austria's Management Center at Innsbruck. "It is clear that the cultural legacy of...

InsideClimate: Chapter Nine: Race to the Finish The Team In a high-rise a few blocks from City Hall, about 30 people gathered on Jan. 2, 2013 to begin creating the plan that would help New Yorkers rebuild homes and businesses damaged by Superstorm Sandy and prepare the city for future climate-related disasters. Some of them knew each other. Others didn't. Each had been recruited because of his or her very specific skills in energy, policy, infrastructure, the economy or climate change.

Late Cretaceous Climate Could Foreshadow Earth's Future Climate

RedOrbit: Scientists have long believed that a continental ice sheet formed more than 90 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous Period. During that time, the climate was much warmer than it is today. A new study from the University of Missouri (MU) has found evidence suggesting that this belief is incorrect, that no ice sheet formed during this time. The findings of this study, published in the journal Geology, could help environmentalists and scientists predict what the earth`s climate will be as carbon...

EcoWatch: Eight years ago today, Hurricane Katrina came roaring in out of the Gulf of Mexico and straight into New Orleans. The storm overwhelmed the citys levees and flooded many of the neighborhoods, ultimately killing more than 1,800 people--most of them poor and underprivileged--and wreaking more than $108 billion in estimated damages. Poignantly, even New Orleans Six Flags amusement park remains abandoned, the Closed for Storm signs still posted. But while slow, the rebuilding process is real....
