Climate Change Drying Out Southwest Now

ThinkProgress: Two new studies confirm that warming-driven climate change is already drying the U.S. Southwest and other parts of the globe. More worrisome, nearly a third of the world`s land faces drying from rising greenhouse gases - including two of the world`s greatest agricultural centers, "the U.S. Great Plains and a swath of southeastern China." These studies add fuel to the growing bonfire of concerns about climate change and food security. As I wrote in the article on Dust-Bowlification I did for the...

Now the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is meeting in Berlin this weekend to present its draft proposals for mitigating the impact of warming, has woken up to the need to get both more specific and more positive. Big targets on emission reductions still matter, but there are lots of smaller ones too,...

Nature World: New historical climate analysis by a McGill University researcher indicates that climate change in the industrial era is man-made with "greater than 99.9 percent" certainty. Writing in the journal Climate Dynamics, McGill physicist Shaun Lovejoy reports his analysis of temperature data since the year 1500, concluding that global warming over the last century is not a result of natural long-term variations in temperature, but instead an anthropogenic effect. "This study will be a blow to any...

CNN: Filmmaker James Cameron has been a titan of the box office for decades. So when he decided he wanted to create a series about climate change, it was only fitting that he would inject it with all the drama and suspense of one of his signature blockbusters. Cameron says the project "Years of Living Dangerously" was not an easy sell to Hollywood, but just as he has tackled so many other productions, he lined up enough talent including Matt Damon, Jessica Alba, Arnold Schwarzenegger and President...

Reuters: The leaders of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank and United Nations on Friday called upon finance ministers to use fiscal policies, such as carbon taxes, to combat climate change. IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde and World Bank President Jim Yong Kim were joined by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon at their 2014 spring meetings to address a group of 46 finance ministers and senior officials on policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Lagarde said their goal was to explain...
