Inquisitr: Climate change has meant global warming for most Americans, making them less inclined to see the need for action on the issue, so says a new study by researchers at two U.S. universities. By the time the public feels the sting of climate change later this century, it will be too late to put policies in place that will have any effect. Patrick J. Egan, an associate professor in NYU`s Wilf Family Department of Politics, authored the study with Megan Mullin, an associate professor at Duke University`s...

ScienceDaily: A research team confirms that 97 percent of climate scientists agree that climate change is caused by humans. The group includes Sarah Green, a chemistry professor at Michigan Technological University. "What's important is that this is not just one study -- it's the consensus of multiple studies," Green says. This consistency across studies contrasts with the language used by climate change doubters. This perspective stems from, as the authors write, "conflating the opinions of non-experts with...

The urgency of signing the agreement has been underscored by recent climate news and events, including devastating coral bleaching around the world, newly shattered temperature records and disturbing news...
