Nebraska Radio Network: Farmers and scientists are trying to determine how climate change will impact agriculture in Nebraska and nationwide in the years ahead, with one study predicting without action, crop yields will drop 20% by mid-century. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says farmers will have to adapt to greater variability in the weather, but the news isn`t all bad. "On the one hand, we`re likely going to see longer growing seasons, which could potentially give rise to increased crop productivity," Vilsack...

Christian Post: Rising seas and melting polar ice caps and glaciers documented by impressive satellite imagery capture the attention of the news media and make headlines. ?Yet, the most consequential aspect of any change in climate, no matter the cause, receives scant attention. The single most pressing repercussion of any significant alteration in climate, whether global in scale or localized, will be in the shifting patterns and distribution of infectious diseases. Substantial alterations in either localized...

Elsner's study, published Wednesday in the journal Climate Dynamics, is titled "The Increasing Efficiency of Tornado Days in the United...

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...

Climate News Network: Climate change is here, its happening now, and for the last few decades it has been demonstrably bad news for many of Europes forests. An international team of researchers say in a report from the European Forest Institute that climate change is altering the environment, and it is long-lived ecosystems like forests that are particularly vulnerable to the comparatively rapid changes occurring in the climate system. The report, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, shows that damage...
