Ars Technica: A leaked draft of an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report due in 2014 shows how climate change is already affecting food security around the world. The report, which a spokesperson for the IPCC described as a "work in progress," is likely to change before it is fully released in March 2014. However, it lays out in concerning detail the conclusions of recent research on how climate change is affecting the world's food supplies today and how it is likely to affect the supply in the future....

Associated Press: An Australian is among a group of top climate scientist who are warning that wind and solar energy won't be enough to head off extreme global warming. Four scientists, including Tom Wigley from the University of Adelaide, are asking environmentalists to support the development of safer nuclear power as one way to cut fossil fuel pollution. The scientists, who have played a key role in alerting the public to the dangers of climate change, sent letters on Sunday to leading environmental groups...

At a press conference in San Francisco...

Climate change warriors: It's time to go nuclear

CNN: Four top environmental scientists raised the stakes Sunday in their fight to reverse climate change and save the planet. Climate and energy scientists James Hansen, Ken Caldeira, Kerry Emanuel and Tom Wigley have released an open letter calling on world leaders to support development of safer nuclear power systems. Wait -- pro-nuclear environmentalists? Isn't that an oxymoron? Apparently, not so much anymore. Embracing nuclear is the only way, the scientists believe, to reverse the looming...
