ABC Australia: There are renewed calls for national monitoring of Australian beaches in the wake of severe storms which washed away homes and other waterside properties along the east coast. The Water Research Laboratory at the University of New South Wales, led by Professor Ian Turner, has been monitoring Narrabeen and Collaroy beaches, two of the hardest hit in the weekend's storms, for 40 years. "We've seen quite large erosion, particularly in the southern ends of the beaches," Professor Turner told 7.30....

Indian Express: Global warming melting Arctic regions, climate change is happening everywhere: NASA Global warming melting Arctic regions, climate change is happening everywhere: NASA Temperatures are warming faster in the Arctic than elsewhere, which has led to longer seasons for plants to grow in and changes to the soils. A new NASA study has found out that due to the changing climate, Arctic regions of North America are getting greener, with almost a third of the land cover looking more like landscapes...

United Press International: Some of the issues being debated in the 2016 presidential campaign start with a generally accepted premise from Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. Climate change is not one of them. Clinton and Sanders believe the science showing the planet is warming due to pollution created by humans, and the gradually warming temperatures are causing dramatic shifts in climate and weather across the world with potentially devastating consequences. Trump, like many Republicans, is deeply...

The role of climate change in eastern Australia's wild storms
2016-06-06 06:42:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Conversation: Australias east coast is recovering from a weekend of wild winds, waves and flooding, caused by a weather pattern known as an East Coast Low. Tragically, several people have died in flooding. Parts of New South Wales have received more than 400mm of rain since Friday morning. Some places such as Canberra and Forster recorded their wettest June day on record. Waves have also caused severe coastal erosion and damaged property. East Coast Lows are a type of low-pressure system or cyclone that...

Initiative to raise awareness on climate change impacts
2016-06-06 05:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
SciDevNet: An initiative has been formed to help African and Asian societies understand climate change-related impacts such as extreme weather events and prepare for future ones. The initiative called Raising Risk Awareness will involve a team of scientists who will examine whether climate change has contributed to extreme weather events such as droughts, floods and heatwaves in East Africa and South Asia, and disseminate findings to a variety of audiences such as journalists, policymakers and the public....
