Associated Press: Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday that the country and the world need to confront the threat of climate change while there`s still time. Kerry said climate change is already changing the world in real and significant ways, from serious food shortages to increasing temperatures to the threat of rising sea levels. But those changes also bring the potential of millions of new jobs to develop the renewable energy industry, he said, provided the U.S. and the rest of the world act now. "We...

To address climate change, nothing substitutes for reducing carbon dioxide emissions

ScienceDaily: The politically expedient way to mitigate climate change is essentially no way at all, according to a comprehensive new study by University of Chicago climatologist Raymond Pierrehumbert. Among the climate pollutants humans put into the atmosphere in significant quantities, the effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the longest-lived, with effects on climate that extend thousands of years after emissions cease. But finding the political consensus to act on reducing CO2 emissions has been nearly impossible....

Huffington Post: International Women's Day is a time to celebrate women's achievements, but it's also a good time to draw attention to problems too often overlooked by policymakers and begin discussing constructive solutions. As a member of the Congressional Safe Climate Caucus, I am struck by the disproportionate toll that environmental destruction driven by climate change exacts on women. Women account for 20 million of the 26 million people displaced by climate change -- a staggering disparity driven by the fact...

Worlds richest nations failing to address climate change

RTCC: The worlds richest countries have made some progress since the 1990s in limiting environmental damage. But they have not done enough to prevent catastrophic climate change, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Scientists say that carbon dioxide emissions need to start going down in the next decade to prevent global temperatures reaching dangerous levels. But the OECD predicts they will continue to rise and by 2050 will be 50% higher than they are today. The...
