At-Risk Cities Hold Solutions to Climate Change, UN Report Finds

Guardian: It is already taking shape as the 21st century urban nightmare: a big storm hits a city like Shanghai, Mumbai, Miami or New York, knocking out power supply and waste treatment plants, washing out entire neighbourhoods and marooning the survivors in a toxic and foul-smelling swamp. Now the world's leading scientists are suggesting that those same cities in harm's way could help drive solutions to climate change. A draft report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), obtained...

BBC: Half of the world's population now lives in cities, and this proportion is set to rise to two-thirds by 2050. Yet cities are particularly vulnerable to the worst impacts of climate change precisely because their locations are fixed. The latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) re-emphasises the vital role cities can play in cutting greenhouse gas emissions. This should come as no surprise, since urban centres are responsible for three quarters of global energy consumption...

Grist: Like a tree in a greenhouse, America`s forest fire problem is growing ominously. Rising temperatures and declining rain and snowfall are parching fire-prone areas and juicing conflagrations. On Thursday, following years of meetings and scientific reviews, the Obama administration published a 101-page strategy that aims to help meet the country`s shifting fire threats. The National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy divides the nation according to fire risks, and profiles the communities...

IPCC report says climate change is bad news for crops

Ars Technica: When it comes to projections of future global warming, most people are more interested in concrete impacts than abstract figures like average global temperature. That sort of information is contained in the second section of the latest IPCC report, which was just recently released. Among the things potentially impacted by climate change, the agricultural sector is of obvious relevance to those of us who eat food. (That includes you, Soylent fans.) Given that population growth and economic progress...
Heartbleed: Which passwords you should change right now
2014-04-10 13:48:58| Extremetech
Security researchers can all agree on one thing: the Heartbleed bug could be the the most significant and dangerous vulnerability to ever hit the internet. What's odd about Heartbleed, though, is that no one seems to agree on what you should do to protect yourself. Do you change your passwords? Or wait? Or do something else entirely? Read on, and I'll tell you.
