Globe and Mail: There is no scientific silver bullet that will save the world from the effects of climate change, a new study says. Over the past two years, a team of Canadian and American researchers has evaluated the potential for so-called geoengineering to address global warming. They looked at approaches already widely in place such as forest and soil management, as well as more controversial ideas such as ocean fertilization and solar radiation management. What they found is that none of these - or...

Miami Herald: Faced with the prospect of either bypassing Congress or doing nothing about America's poisonous greenhouse-gas emissions, President Obama made the right decision this week. He set a goal of cutting carbon pollution from power plants by 30 percent from 2005 levels by 2030. The most important aspect of the Obama plan is that it represents, at last, a concrete response to an undeniable challenge. Doing nothing is not an option when facing the dire consequences of climate change. Human beings are...

Sydney Morning Herald: Prime Minister Tony Abbott has downplayed the likelihood of climate change being discussed at a G20 leaders' summit hosted by Australia, suggesting it does not fit the meeting's economic focus. Asked about pressure from the US and Europe for climate to be included on the agenda for the November meeting in Brisbane, Mr Abbott said there were other international meetings that were more appropriate for discussing the issue.

Mother Jones: It's no secret that different countries have different densities, so to speak, of global warming denial. In particular, English-language speaking nations like the US and the UK tend to be relative denialist hotbeds, and their media include a considerable amount of global warming skepticism. By contrast, media researchers have found that in Spanish-speaking countries like Mexico and Chile, as well as in European nations, journalists tend to cast much less doubt on climate research. And now, a new...
