Des Moines Register: Iowa teachers may be split on how to educate students about climate change despite strong scientific evidence of human-caused climate change, an IowaWatch survey with the Cedar Falls High School Tiger Hi-Line newspaper shows. Students also have mixed opinions on the subject, the survey showed. Results of the survey of 133 science teachers from 54 public and private schools and one Area Education Agency in Iowa are anecdotal because the sample was not large enough to demonstrate a trend.

Inquisitr: Climate change has meant global warming for most Americans, making them less inclined to see the need for action on the issue, so says a new study by researchers at two U.S. universities. By the time the public feels the sting of climate change later this century, it will be too late to put policies in place that will have any effect. Patrick J. Egan, an associate professor in NYU`s Wilf Family Department of Politics, authored the study with Megan Mullin, an associate professor at Duke University`s...

Deutsche Welle: Climate change is the single biggest threat to polar bear survival, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. The animals depend on seasonal sea ice, which they use as a platform to hunt seals. Polar bears have been losing weight as Arctic sea ice melts, a recent study out of Canada found. Female polar bears weighed about 10 percent less in 2009 than they did in 1984, scientists found. As retreating sea ice shrinks their habitat, starvation threatens the species. Drought...

Nature: Representatives from more than 175 nations signed the Paris climate accord at the United Nations in New York City on 22 April. Global leaders celebrated the event timed to coincide with Earth Day with considerable fanfare, but countries must still take more action to implement the December 2015 agreement, which seeks to limit global warming to between 1.5 °C and 2 °C. Nature examines what must happen for the accord to take legal effect and, ultimately, to achieve its goal. What is the significance...

Providence Journal: There are at least three things wrong with the April 18 editorial ("Climate of freedom") criticizing my position on possible fraud in the fossil fuel industry's climate change denial operation. The Journal insinuates, though does not state, that I am seeking criminal prosecutions, using both the words "prosecution" and "crime" in its editorial. The tobacco lawsuit by the Department of Justice was a civil proceeding, and the Department of Justice won it. The editorial page repeatedly has insinuated...
