Central Western Daily: At some point, you would think most climate change deniers would throw in the towel. Fifteen of the 16 hottest years on record have happened this century and the other year wasn't much earlier, in 1998. And 2015 was a breakaway year. Those reluctant to accept man-made climate change tend to resort to outlandish claims, such as the satellite data are doctored or that terrestrial weather stations operated by the Bureau of Meteorology have been manipulated to remove cooler readings to exaggerate...

An analysis of 235 lakes that together hold more than half of the Earths fresh surface water found they have been warming an average of 0.61 degrees per decade, the report said.

National Public Radio: We've heard a lot about the negative effects of climate change in the arctic and subarctic. But some Alaskans, like farmer Tim Meyers, are seeing warming temperatures as an opportunity. Now that potato harvest is underway at his Bethel farm, Meyers uses a giant potato washer, like a washing machine for root vegetables, to clean California white potatoes. They're some of the only commercially-produced vegetables in this southwestern Alaska region, about the size of Oregon. Meyers says the warming...
