Grist: Take an already warming planet, stir in a dash of El Nio, and add a splash of melting Arctic ice. Voila! You`ve got a baked Alaska. The state has experienced a warm and wacky winter, with only one-tenth its usual snowfall and temperatures 10 degrees F above average. This lack of snow is especially problematic for a cherished tradition: the Iditarod, Alaska`s annual dogsled race. To avoid the tribulations of slushy mushing, a snow-bereft Anchorage is importing snow for the beginning of the...

The typical British diet will deteriorate as the effects of climate change hit crop production, resulting in supply shortages and pushing up prices, Oxford University researchers said. This will increase the number of deaths for which poor diet is a risk factor - more than offsetting a reduction in deaths from obesity that may be seen...
