Mashable: BP's shareholders overwhelmingly supported a resolution on Thursday that would force the company to disclose some of its climate change-related risks. The shareholder vote was extraordinarily lopsided, with about 98% of shareholders approving the resolution, which had the backing of BP's chairman, Carl-Henric Svanberg. The embrace of the climate change resolution is being called a watershed event in the history of climate-related shareholder resolutions, which investors large and small have been...

Washington Post: Energy and Environment The Pacific Ocean has been slowing global warming down. That could be about to change By Chris Mooney April 14 This NOAA satellite image taken Monday, March 30, 2015 at 01:00 AM EDT shows a weak low pressure moving into the Pacific Northwest with some rain showers in Northwestern Washington.

Washington Post: Nowhere do people love fish and chips more than in the United Kingdom, where the National Federation of Fish Friers calls it the undisputed National dish of Great Britain and claims sales of 1.2 billion pounds sterling per year. No wonder, then, that when a new study came out yesterday seeming to suggest that the dramatic warming of North Sea waters due to climate change could threaten stocks of fish like haddock -- one of the leading fish components of the dish, along with cod -- there was...
Rapid global warming may be coming sooner than you think

Mashable: A new study bolsters the case that a period of much faster global warming may be imminent, if not already beginning. The study, published Wednesday in Geophysical Research Letters, uses climate records gleaned from coral reefs in the South Pacific to recreate sea surface temperatures and ocean heat content dating back to 1791. The corals examined were from Fiji, Tonga and Rarotonga. Information from the geochemistry of coral reef core samples reveals how ocean surface temperatures have varied...
Your beliefs on global warming may depend on where you're from

Mashable: Residents of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Corvallis, Oregon, are far more likely to believe that global warming is happening than people in Casper, Wyoming, and Dothan, Alabama. These findings can be explored in a new study and interactive tool that, for the first time, allows users to drill down from national-level to congressional-district level survey results on global warming beliefs. The study estimates that a majority of adults in all states believe that global warming is happening, ranging...
