ScienceDaily: If no further action is taken and global temperature increases by 3.5°C, climate damages in the EU could amount to at least 190 billion, a net welfare loss of 1.8 percent of its current GDP. Several weather-related extremes could roughly double their average frequency. As a consequence, heat-related deaths could reach about 200,000.

Chinas plan to combat pollution will fight climate change too

Conversation: Last month was the hottest May in terms of global surface temperature in a historical record that extends back 130 years, according to NASA, and with an El Nio forecast for the end of the year, we could see more records fall. But there are some more hopeful signs about the longer term. CO2 emissions fell by about 12% in both USA and EU between 2007 and 2012, for reasons including the global recession, rising gas use and a shift to renewable energy sources. President Obamas recent announcement...
How climate change will choke our cities with smog

Motherboard: Global warming doesn't just mean rising seas, soaring temperatures, and prolonged droughts. It means a miasma of polluted air, hovering over a city near you. Air pollution and climate change have always been linked--the greenhouse gases frying the globe are emitted from power plants and cars alongside more traditionally toxic pollutants--but a new study confirms some surprising new evidence that a hotter planet will almost certainly be a smoggier one. Climate change is beginning to seriously impact...

Preventing competition could help threatened species survive climate change
2014-06-25 13:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Some threatened species could be better protected from the impacts of climate change if more is done to prevent competition with rival species in the same habitats, a new study has found. In a new paper published in the journal Global Change Biology, researchers from Durham University studied the impacts of climate change on a species of mountain goat, the alpine chamois. They found that the hardy goats, which dwell in the Italian Alps, moved to cooler higher altitudes when temperatures rose....
