Christian Science Monitor: The history of international efforts to rein in global warming is littered with a forest of printed reports, talking points, and treaty drafts all in pursuit of two agreements that lacked either rigorous enforcement or the participation of key signatories. Along the way, countries found common ground on some issues. But negotiations also were arduous and ripe with finger-pointing. They pitted the industrialized world against developing countries, oil-producing nations against their biggest customers,...

Sydney Morning Herald: Nicholas Stern says climate change costs aren't properly captured by models. Existing economic models "grossly underestimate" the costs of global warming, undermining the urgency for deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new paper by leading UK climate change economist Lord Nicholas Stern. The risks are in fact likely to be so large that a globally coordinated carbon price of $US32-$US103 ($34-$110) per tonne of emissions is needed as soon as 2015 to prevent the temperature...

Global warming poses threat to Southwest water supply
2014-06-15 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Desert Sun: The biggest reservoir in the United States is dropping 1 foot each week. Lake Mead's rapidly sinking water level is set to reach an all-time low in July, driven down by a 14-year drought that scientists say is one of the most severe to hit the Colorado River in more than 1,200 years. The water behind Hoover Dam supplies vast areas of farmland and about 25 million people in three states, and this critical reservoir stands just 40 percent full. Droughts and even decades-long mega-droughts have...
