U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse: Global warming is real, and we made it

Tulsa World: I work in the one place in America where the question, Is climate change real? is still a question. You guessed it: I work in Congress. Scientists overwhelmingly agree that carbon pollution from fossil fuels is driving unprecedented changes in our atmosphere and oceans. Indeed, 14 of the warmest 15 years ever measured have been in this century (contrary to the skeptics claim that there has been a pause in warming in recent decades). In our coastal states, sea level rise, warming and acidification...
Global warming unlocking carbon stores long-locked in permafrost

Christian Science Monitor: For thousands of years, a large percentage of the worlds carbon stores have been safely locked in permafrost, the frozen layer of soil and organic matter that covers much of the planets northernmost latitudes. But as temperatures rise and some permafrost melts, that carbon is being released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide at an alarming rate. For some ancient permafrost, about half its carbon could decompose in just one week after a thaw, according to a new study by the US Geological Survey,...

NH Voice: In a latest paper, climate scientists have argued that the disagreement over how climate change can be fought wasn't that complex. According to them, effective solutions are possible in case a single major economy would take a step forward and lead on the problem. In a press release, Malte Meinshausen, a climate scientist with Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and the University of Melbourne, said, "If either the European Union or the US would pioneer and set a benchmark for climate...

ScienceDaily: Today, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released a policy statement that links climate change with the health of children, urging pediatricians and politicians to work together to solve this crisis and protect children from climate-related threats including natural disasters, heat stress, lower air quality, increased infections, and threats to food and water supplies. "Every child need a safe and healthy environment and climate change is a rising public health threat to all children in this...

Congress skeptic on global warming demands records US climate scientists

Washington Post: The head of a congressional committee on science has issued subpoenas to the Obama administration over a recent scientific study refuting claims that global warming had paused or slowed over the last decade. Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Tex.), chairman of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology and a prominent congressional skeptic on climate change, issued the subpoenas two weeks ago demanding e-mails and records from U.S. scientists who participated in the study, which undercut a popular...
