Christian Science Monitor: A University of Hawaii report is warning the state's tourism industry to start preparing now for the effects of climate change. The study says Hawaii will likely see more competition for visitors as warmer climate zones expand and new, easier-to-reach tropical resorts emerge in coastal regions from Texas to Florida, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Wednesday (http://bit.ly/1sDkT0c ). Hawaii will be a hotter place, with fewer cooling trade winds and more drought, fewer waterfalls and forest...

Science Recorder: Deadly tropical diseases, like dengue fever, are likely to spread as a result of global warming, according to researchers at the University of East Anglia in the UK. One little-discussed question regarding the possible effects of climate change is how viruses and other infectious microbes will react to warmer, more humid temperatures around the globe.

No thanks to us: the heatwave was made 35 per cent more likely by human greenhouse gas emissions." CLIMATE scientists tend to shy away from assigning blame for extreme weather events like the fictional heatwave described above. But that may be about to change, thanks...

Washington Post: THE COUNTRY is about to see its fiercest climate-change battle. After years of congressional inaction, President Obamas Environmental Protection Agency is applying new rules to curb greenhouse-gas emissions from cars, trucks and most controversially power plants, the biggest national emitters. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has said he will try to restrict the EPA if Republicans take over the Senate.
