Big Step for Oregon Youth Climate Change Lawsuit
2016-04-11 03:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bilbaoya: Celebrated environmental activists Bill McKibben and Naomi Klein have declared the proceedings to be the "most important lawsuit on the planet right now". Dr. James Hansen, a staunch advocate for climate change action, is also a plaintiff in the case. Philip Gregory, who represents the plaintiffs, said in a statement that the decision is "one of the most significant in our nation's history". It says the government is permitting, encouraging, and otherwise enabling continued exploitation, production,...
Clouds won't slow climate change: NASA survey finds their cooling effects have been overstated

Salon: To some, clouds resemble bunnies. To others, they can look like squished flowers. When scientists used NASA data to peer into clouds, what they saw resembled a hazard sign warning of a fast-deteriorating climate ahead. Analysis of the first seven years of data from a NASA cloud-monitoring mission suggests clouds are doing less to slow the warming of the planet than previously thought, and that temperatures may rise faster than expected as greenhouse gas pollution worsens--perhaps 25 percent faster....

Is climate change making the Earth's axis tilt?

Christian Science Monitor: The Earths axis is shifting, and scientists now think they have deeper insight into the causes. While previous work has considered the impact of Greenlands melting ice sheet, this latest study, published Friday in the journal Science Advances, also considers Antarcticas ice sheet and changes in global hydrology. One of the most important implications of this work is in testing climate change models, looking back at decades of data to see whether dramatic changes such as the loss of Greenlands...

Scientists express alarm at 'devastating' impact of climate change on coral reefs

Independent: Scientists have expressed alarm at the devastating impact of climate change on the world's coral reefs. More than a third of Earths reefs are now under threat due a process known as bleaching, in what could be the worst crisis ever to hit these vital ecosystems. Bleaching, where the symbiotic relationship between algae and small animals called polyps breaks down, can occur under heat stress and has been linked to multiple weather events including the latest severe El Nio phenomenon. The...

Climate Change Takes a Toll on Heritage Buildings

Indian Express: Among the many things that are being destroyed in natural calamities are heritage structures and mitigating climate change is an urgent need to protect these valuable edifices, according to speakers at the fourth annual lecture on Safety and conservation of heritage structures at IIT-Madras to mark World Heritage Day. After events like the December floods, the focus on conservation too is moving from individual buildings to the larger issue of climate change. Anthropogenic effects of climate...
