Antibiotic Resistance Requires Global Response Similar to AIDS, Climate Change
2016-06-12 03:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inter Press Service: Addressing antibiotic resistance will require a global political response similar to the way the world has reacted to climate change or HIV / AIDS, Sweden's Minister of Public Health Gabriel Wikstrom, told IPS recently. "(These problems) began with a small group of experts discussing and trying to warn the rest of us and it was not until it was politically addressed that it really became an issue that was solvable." "Of course (with antibiotic resistance) we have many technical issues still...

30 years ago scientists warned Congress on global warming. What they said sounds eerily familiar

Washington Post: It was such a different time -- and yet, the message was so similar. Thirty years ago, on June 10 and 11 of 1986, the U.S. Senate Committee on the Environment and Public Works commenced two days of hearings, convened by Sen. John H. Chafee (R-R.I.), on the subject of Ozone Depletion, the Greenhouse Effect, and Climate Change. This is not a matter of Chicken Little telling us the sky is falling, Chafee said at the hearing. The scientific evidence is telling us we have a problem, a serious...

Mashable: The water is still receding along the Seine and Loire Rivers in France, with cleanup beginning in parts of Bavaria, but scientists are already out with a study showing that global warming made the floods at the end of May and early June far more likely compared to a climate that had not warmed due to greenhouse gas emissions. The analysis, which is known as an extreme event "attribution study," found that the probability of three-day precipitation extremes in April through June increased by at...

Why measuring global food waste can help curb hunger

Mother Nature Network: Getting food into the hands of the hungry is just one goal of The World Resources Institute's new global measuring standard of food waste. I'm constantly struggling to control the food waste in my home, but that's a small task compared to those trying to figure out how to control worldwide food waste. A recent British report estimated there are 870 million hungry people in the world who could benefit from the food the rest of us are wasting -- if only someone could figure out how to control the...

Climate change: Melbourne renewable energy project provides global blueprint

Guardian: Its an unmistakably Melbourne setting: councillor Arron Wood is the citys environment portfolio chairman, standing in a rooftop courtyard as the faint sound of trams rises up from Swanston Street down below and the surrounding skyline reaches into a cool autumn sky. Against this backdrop, not to mention the solar thermal panels on the next level, Wood does not hold back when discussing how cities can lead from the front in tackling climate change. He evokes the philosophy of Michael Bloomberg,...
