AAP: Vast swathes of mangroves have died in Australia's north, with scientists saying climate change is likely responsible for the staggering scale of the event. Once healthy mangroves that lined the Gulf of Carpentaria's coastline are now dead, and the die-off happened over a single month, James Cook University Professor Norm Duke says. He says the scale of the event is a world first and coincided with a mass coral bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef. About 7000 hectares have been affected along...

Washington Times: Liberal attorneys general from 17 states have put a big red bullseye on the chest of big oil. Their bizarre claim is that for years energy companies fraudulently covered up their knowledge that greenhouse gases from fossil fuels cause catastrophic climate change. The most recent chapter of this witch hunt is a remarkable subpoena filed by Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey, which would require ExxonMobil to turn over 40 years of internal company documents.

ExxonMobil is retaliating. The company has pleaded...

Climate News Network: Hundreds of west European were killed in the 2003 heat wave by human-induced climate change, scientists say in a ground-breaking report. British researchers say climate change was responsible for the deaths of more than 60 people in London in 2003, and over 500 in Paris. In a rare instance of direct attribution of human mortality to warming temperatures, they say that year`s European heatwave raised the risk of heat-related death by 20% in London, and in Paris by 70%. Using both climate and mortality...
