Burlington Free Press: Republican presidential candidate John Kasich drew hundreds of people to Colchester High School on Saturday morning, and he might have swayed a few Democrats. A key moment came at the end of Kasich's leisurely town hall, when Art Rovner of South Burlington stood to ask the final question. "Given that I'm a scientist, I believe in science, what do you think about the science of climate change?" Rovner asked. "I know that human beings affect the climate," Kasich said. "I know it's an apostasy...

UN climate chief Christiana Figueres to step down: A legacy of bridging divides

Monitor: Christina Figueres, the tireless shepherd behind last year's landmark climate agreement forged in Paris, is stepping down after six terms as the United Nations' climate chief. Ms. Figueres took her current post in 2010, after a climate summit in Copenhagen failed to produce legally binding action on climate change, devolving instead into an argument between developed and developing nations. The UNs top climate official has accomplished much in her six terms in office, from building bridges...

A groundswell of citizen support has put in front of legislators Initiative 732, a revenue neutral carbon tax that will leave our children and future generations a cleaner, healthier and safer world. It demonstrates what a pro-business and pro-environment approach to climate change can accomplish. But we must work together, and we must act now. This initiative is a great first step toward taking action on...

New Sound and Climate Response: Deep-Water Fish Sound at Feeding Could Give Learnings
2016-02-20 03:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: As squid, jellyfish, shrimp and fish in general move up and down from deep in the ocean to the surface in feeding, they make a distinct sound, says new research. Scientists think this might be a sort of "dinner bell" for those that live in the water's depths, and might play a strong role in the global cycling of carbon and the food webs of the ocean. Researchers led by the University of California San Diego (UCSD) are presenting their findings on this at the 2016 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Washington,...
