SMH: The nation`s climate and weather predicting capacity and the jobs of dozens of scientists are at risk if the Abbott government accepts a recommendation of the National Commission of Audit to axe a key program, researchers said. The Australian Climate Change Science Program`s four-year funding of $31.6 million, mostly to the CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology, duplicates work by those and other agencies and "should be returned to the budget or allocated to priority areas", the commission said...

Softpedia: Researchers ready to study the impact of climate change and global warming on Arctic communities Climate change and global warming are really messing up our planet, and odds are that, when it comes to human communities, those in the Arctic will be among the ones hit the hardest by these two phenomena. Although they might not manage to help these people, researchers with the Indiana University, the Montana State University, and the University of Greenland are to at least try and better understand...

Christian Science Monitor: Apparently now you can measure climate change in terms of salamander size. A warmer and drier climate is causing wild Appalachian salamanders to shrink, according to a new paper titled "Widespread rapid reductions in body size of adult salamanders in response to climate change" published March 25 in the journal Global Change Biology. It all started in 1980s, when University of Maryland herpetologist Richard Highton noticed a decrease in the population of salamanders within the Appalachian Mountains....

CBS News: Much of the extreme weather that wreaked havoc in Asia, Europe and the Pacific region last year can be blamed on human-induced climate change, according to the World Meteorological Organization. The U.N. weather agency's annual assessment Monday said 2013 was the sixth-warmest year on record. Thirteen of the 14 warmest years have occurred in the 21st century. Rising sea levels has led to increasing damage from storm surges and coastal flooding, as demonstrated by Typhoon Haiyan, the agency's...
