Science Monitor: Methane streaming from the seafloor at ~425 meters (1400 ft) water depth offshore Virginia. Such naturally occurring methane seeps are a bonanza for scientists trying to understand undersea methane's responses to climate change. Researchers have discovered hundreds of naturally occurring methane seeps along the margins of the East Coast's continental shelf a bonanza for marine scientists trying to understand undersea methane's potential responses to climate change. In effect, these seeps...

CTV: An economic analysis of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline's possible climate impacts has concluded they could be up to four times higher than previously estimated. In the study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, researchers at the Stockholm Environment Institute write that widely quoted U.S. State Department findings that the oilsands pipeline wouldn't make a significant difference missed a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. "It didn't appear that they looked at the market...
White House report understates impact of climate change

Hill: The White House last week published an analysis by the Council of Economic Advisers which spells out the large economic costs of delaying action to tackle climate change. But the consequences of global warming could be much greater than the report suggests. It concludes that the price tag for cutting emissions of greenhouse gases, which are the main driver of climate change, will increase by 40 percent if action is postponed for a decade. And the report points out that if the world misses its...

Economic Times: With climate change casting a shadow on the behaviour of monsoon, the country should put in place pro-active plans to meet any contingency and maximise benefits of a good rainfall to soften the blow of any deficit, eminent agriculture scientist M S Swaminathan has said. "El Nino is at the moment unpredictable...both La Nina and El Nino...one enhances the rainfall, the other makes it less. On climate change, meteorologists are not able to forecast very accurately. They can say approximately. That's...

Climate change to substantially impact on coffee production this decade
2014-07-03 12:34:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Coffee cultivation could be significantly affected by the effects of climate change as soon as 2020, according to a new report. The warning comes amid estimates that coffee bean production must rise by almost 15% in the next five years to keep up with demand. The Coffee Barometer 2014 has been published to coincide with the Sustainable Coffee Conference on July 3 in Amsterdam. It was compiled by five NGOs Hivos, IUCN NL, Oxfam-Novib, Solidaridad and WWF and argues that coffee cultivation is...
