Climate News Network: Chinese scientists have just confirmed that greenhouse gas emissions have sent the thermometer soaring in one country -- China. This is, they say, the first study to directly link warmer daily minimum and maximum temperatures with climate change in one single nation, rather than on a global or hemispheric scale. "Actually seeing a warming trend in a single location is hard', said Xuebin Zhang from Environment Canada in Toronto. "It's like trying to see the tide change when you're in a rowing...

US congressman cites biblical flood to dispute human link to climate change

Guardian: The Texas Republican Joe Barton stands out even among his fellow conservative Republicans who have made it an article of faith to deny the existence of a human component to climate change. On Wednesday, Barton cemented that reputation by citing the Old Testament to refute scientific evidence of man-made global warming, drawing on the story of Noah's ark. "I would point out that if you are a believer in the Bible, one would have to say the great flood was an example of climate change," Barton...
