CBS: A Florida based geologist has some dire warnings about climate change. Among them, many of the barrier islands along the Jersey shore could be under water in as little as 50 years. Professor Harold Wanless chairs the Geological Sciences Department at the University of Miami. He suggests the feds are grossly underestimating the rate at which sea levels are rising because the polar ice caps are melting so rapidly. His advice? Towns along the shore should start preparing now. "As sea level...
Inaction on global warming is as reckless as drunken driving

Washington Post: Daniel Farber teaches environmental law and tort law at the University of California at Berkeley. Our moral duty to address climate change is based on a simple concept, straightforward enough to qualify as kindergarten fare. We tell our children that they need to be careful not to hurt their playmates. As we get older, we learn that we need to be careful when we engage in other activities too -- we shouldnt drive after drinking, or leave loaded guns around children. The same simple concept can...

Big Oil braced for global warming while fought regulations

LA Times: A few weeks before seminal climate change talks in Kyoto back in 1997, Mobil Oil took out a bluntly worded advertisement in the New York Times and Washington Post. Lets face it: The science of climate change is too uncertain to mandate a plan of action that could plunge economies into turmoil, the ad said. Scientists cannot predict with certainty if temperatures will increase, by how much and where changes will occur. One year earlier, though, engineers at Mobil Oil were concerned enough about...

War gaming climate: How global warming could trigger nationalism

Climate Home: What do US presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, the Prince of Wales and pop star Charlotte Church have in common? Theyve all linked climate change to the Syrian refugee crisis and drawn scorn for it. To critics, blaming global warming diminishes the responsibility of people, whether President Bashar Al-Assad, Daesh or Western leaders who failed to intervene. The hoo-ha highlights a gap in our thinking. Because the shifts in temperature, rainfall and sea levels expected over the coming decades...

Limiting Global Warming Will be Hard, But Hardly Impossible

Scientific American: For decades, researchers have been sounding the alarm on climate change: its happening, were causing it, its bad. The message from IPCC and elsewhere has long been that solving the climate challenge is technically feasible, and whats missing is political will. With the adoption of the Paris Agreement last weekend, the world finally has its mandate of political will. In total, 196 nations confirmed that climate change is a common concern of humankind and adopted the target to limit warming...
