Climate change will shake the Earth
2014-08-25 07:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The idea that a changing climate can persuade the ground to shake, volcanoes to rumble and tsunamis to crash on to unsuspecting coastlines seems, at first, to be bordering on the insane. How can what happens in the thin envelope of gas that shrouds and protects our world possibly influence the potentially Earth-shattering processes that operate deep beneath the surface? The fact that it does reflects a failure of our imagination and a limited understanding of the manner in which the different physical...

New Zealand Herald: Professor Nils Christian Stenseth is a global authority on pandemics and climate change. His research interests span a broad spectrum of ecological and evolutionary topics, most of which are rooted in population biology, with specific work looking at pest control, harvesting, bio-economics and epidemiology. Some of his best-known work, in Kazakhstan, looked at whether a hypothetical re-emergence of human plague could have a climate component. Professor Stenseth will be in New Zealand next...

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) created a Climate and Health Program (CHP), which, according to the CDC Web site, was designed to help prevent and adapt...

Capital Journal: Scrolling through slides on his laptop, Jon Möller displayed for a visitor recently myriad carbon emission targets for the governments of his Nordic home. Cut per capita greenhouse gas to three tons per Stockholm inhabitant by 2015. Make the Stockholm Royal Seaport a fossil-fuel-free district by 2030. Expand that designation to the entire country by 2050. The politicians both nationally, regionally and locally, they have decided we should reduce greenhouse gases a lot, Möller told a visitor...
