News.com.au: CHINA is rapidly assuming a global leadership role on climate change alongside the United States, a new study said Monday, but it warned greenhouse gas emissions worldwide continue to rise strongly. The report by the independent Australian-based Climate Commission, The Critical Decade: International Action on Climate Change presents an overview of action in the last nine months. It was released on the same day as a fresh round of UN talks were to start in Bonn on boosting action on climate...

Lewiston Sun Journal: Many of us eagerly anticipate summer, when fishing, boating and swimming can happen at a favorite lake. This year, though, there may also be a bit of trepidation -- what lies ahead for Lake Auburn? Will we see another fish kill? Last summer, hundreds of economically valuable, fun-to-catch trout died at Lake Auburn. Some people blamed this event on "global warming,' but were they right to do so? It's hard to say for sure, but the early ice-out and warm summer temperatures in 2012 did probably play...

International Business Times: A study by Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has warned that the world's coastline beaches could experience swelling and intense levels and heights of pounding ocean waves due to climate change. Mark Hemer, CSIRO researcher and lead author of the study, said average annual wave heights could increase by as much as half a metre in coming decades as storm frequency and intensity in the Southern Ocean likewise increase. The heightened wave heights...

Climate Change Responsible for Global Vegetation Change

Climate News Network: The amount of vegetation in the world, and the way it is spread across the planet, has changed significantly in the last three decades, researchers say. They attribute more than half the changes they detected to the effects of the warming climate, with people responsible for only around a third. Surprisingly, perhaps, they are at a loss to attribute about 10 percent of the changes unequivocally to either the climate or us. They say their work marks a scientific advance, because it has only...
