Guardian: In Africa, food production will be hit by more frequent and more extreme heat waves and droughts if climatic changes continue at their current pace. The new report from the World Bank, Turn Down the Heat: Climate Extremes, Regional Impacts, and the Case for Resilience (pdf) suggests that the worst impacts can be avoided if the temperature rise is kept under 2° Celsius. But a 2°C rise will still see the median yield of all crops fall by 11%, destabilising efforts to alleviate hunger, poverty, and...

After years of losing the...

Climate Spectator: Analysts from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) have recently published a special report on Climate and the Defence Force. To those concerned about human-caused climate change, this report could be viewed as a welcome turnaround. Thus, the report opens by noting that the 2009 Defence White Paper had, by contrast: dismissed climate change as an issue for future generations, judging that strategic consequences wouldnt be felt before 2030.

WLRN: When the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) was approved in 2000, it was a historic move to "restore, protect and preserve" water resources in central and south Florida. The 30-year framework was designed with the ultimate goal of restoring historic water-flows to a "dying ecosystem."
