Times Union: Thank you for Brian Nearing's article ("Business says no to climate bill," June 9) about a local business group using distorted language to oppose a New York climate change bill that some local residents and businesses may have been scared. What's the point of extreme rhetoric that frightens people? Isn't climate change scary enough? I hope residents were reassured by calming voices insisting that proposed legislation only deals with specific emissions, and "We are not talking about ending the use...

Climate News Network: The world is becoming sadly familiar with the sight of thousands of desperate refugees escaping bombing and violence in countries like Syria being pressed against border fences erected to separate countries in Europe and further afield. Less recognised is the effect these thousands of kilometres of newly-installed border fencing is often having on wildlife. But climate change does not recognise borders, and nor do the birds or animals migrating across their territories. A study by the Norwegian...

LA Progressive: Jeffrey Kiehl brings unique qualifications to this unusual book: a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, he is also a Jungian analyst and a practicing Buddhist. While he argues that the science on human-caused climate change is unassailable, he is troubled by the unwillingness of many to believe it, and to act accordingly to put the brakes on greenhouse gas emissions. His primary tool for understanding this human perversity is Jungian psychology. We each have within...

Reuters: Germany has abandoned plans to set out a timetable to exit coal-fired power production and scrapped C02 emissions reduction goals for individual sectors, according to the latest draft of an environment ministry document seen by Reuters on Wednesday. An earlier version of the draft document that was leaked in May had suggested that Germany should phase out coal-fired power production "well before 2050" as part of a package of measures to help Berlin achieve its climate goals. The new version,...

Thanks to climate change, for better or worse, the Arctic is turning green

Washington Post: In June, NASA scientists provided a visualization of a startling climate change trend the Earth is getting greener, as viewed from space, especially in its rapidly warming northern regions. And this is presumably occurring as more carbon dioxide in the air, along with warmer temperatures and longer growing seasons, makes plants very, very happy. Now, new research in Nature Climate Change not only reinforces the reality of this trend which is already provoking debate about the overall climate...
