Reuters: Without the right policies to keep the poor safe from extreme weather and rising seas, climate change could drive over 100 million more people into poverty by 2030, the World Bank said on Sunday. In a report, the bank said ending poverty - one of 17 new U.N. goals adopted in September - would be impossible if global warming and its effects on the poor were not accounted for in development efforts. But more ambitious plans to reduce climate-changing emissions - aimed at keeping global temperature...

ScienceDaily: A new study by a University of York scientist confirms that historical temperature data records constitute reliable evidence of climate change. Dr Kevin Cowtan, a computational scientist, carried out a new analysis of the data following suggestions that it was unreliable and that the rate of global warming was exaggerated as a result. Previous research by Dr Cowtan helped to address a claim that global warming had "paused" and clarified the level of agreement between climate models and observations....
