Reuters: European nations have handed out a combined 535 million free European Union carbon permits to industry to cover 2016 emissions, the European Commission said on Thursday.

On average, the consumption of fruits and vegetables will drop 4 percent by 2050, leading to an increase in malnutrition and disease, particularly in less developed countries.

Bloomberg: The impact of climate change on food supplies and diets may cause half a million more deaths in the next few decades, a University of Oxford study showed.
