Washington Post: A new study suggests carbon dioxide will never fall below 400 ppm this year, nor next, nor the next. Scientists who measure and forecast the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere said Monday that we may have passed a key turning point. Humans walking the Earth today will probably never live to see carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere once again fall below a level of 400 parts per million (ppm), at least when measured at the iconic Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, where...

New study shows grim relationship between climate change and health

Monterey County Weekly: We have a pretty good idea of what climate change will do to the landscape: melt it, flood it, tear it up in freak superstorms, turn it into desert. But what will climate change do to us to our bodies and minds? The White House released a major report April 4 that tries to answer that question, drawing on research from eight federal agencies. The coming health crisis it describes is ugly, and wide-ranging. An extra 11,000 premature deaths each year by 2030 from extreme heat waves; babies born...

The flight from Fukushima - and the grim return

Ecologist: Five years after the Fukushima nuclear disaster began to unfold, the searing psychological effects are still being felt among the 160,000 refugees who fled the fallout, writes Linda Pentz Gunter. But now there's growing pressure to return to contaminated areas declared 'safe' in efforts to whitewash the disaster's impacts. Why the rush? To clear the way for the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, complete with events in Fukushima City. Patriotic duty will be center stage in the lead-up to the 2020 Summer...
Grim prospects: the shake-up of Australia's climate science
2016-03-11 02:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Age: The fate of the 'sentinel of the southern hemisphere' is a pointer to how Australia's climate research will fare in a funding world that has lately turned more hostile. Forty years ago next month Paul Fraser and three other CSIRO scientists towed a hardy NASA-built caravan chock with sensitive detecting equipment to Cape Grim on the pristine windswept tip of north-west Tasmania. The make-shift facility quickly made its mark, detecting ozone-depleting chemicals in the atmosphere as they blew...
