PhysOrg: Changes in temperature and weather patterns pose a serious threat to the millions of animal, plant and fungi species found in the tropics.

Rappler: The threat of climate change is not gender neutral. Women and their children will have to suffer a disproportionate amount of the impacts of the changing climate.
