Think new climate report is scary? The food-pocalypse is already upon us

Guardian: The mother of all climate reports is so scary that one of its authors resigned from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in protest. "Farmers are not stupid," the Sussex University economist Richard Tol said this past week, as hundreds of researchers cloistered away in Yokohama, Japan, hammering out the final wording of a document that he called "alarmist" when it comes to the many threats of global warming. The people who grow our food will find ways to adapt, said the rogue climate...

Toronto Star: The world is warming up and the impact of climate change is already being seen across the globe, an authoritative new UN climate report says. But in this part of the world, which is barely out of the clutches of a long and wicked winter, the report sounds like a conundrum. Make no mistake, the world is warming up, especially the Arctic, said John Stone, an IPCC lead author and adjunct professor at Carleton University. What we have experienced this winter is just weather, said Stone. It...

Guardian: One focus of the latest report from the UN panel on climate change is the impact on Earth's ecosystems. The report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says that in recent decades, many plant and animal species have moved their range, changed numbers or shifted their seasonal activities as a result of warmer temperatures. Moving on up Species are matching temperature rises by increasingly shifting their range (the geographic area to which their activity is confined) towards...

Climate change report 'should jolt people into action' says IPCC chief

Guardian: The head of the United Nations climate panel said he hoped its report on the rising threat of climate change would jolt people into action. The report, released on Monday, is a 2,600-page catalogue of the risks to life and livelihood from climate change now and in the future. Rajendra Pachauri, who has headed the IPCC for 12 years, said he hoped it would push government leaders to deal with climate change before it is too late. I hope these facts will - for want of a better word - jolt...

U.N. Report Raises Climate Change Warning, Points To Opportunities

National Public Radio: "The effects of climate change are already occurring on all continents and across the oceans" and the world is mostly "ill-prepared" for the risks that the sweeping changes present, a new report from the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concludes. The report also wastes no time in pointing a finger toward who is responsible: "Human interference with the climate system is occurring," reads the first sentence in the scientists' summary of their work. As NPR's Geoff Brumfiel tells...
