Monsoon failure & climate change not only triggers for acute distress in rural India

Economic Times: Re-curring drought conditions in many parts of India are leading to starvation and distress migration. Rural poor are the worst victims of crop failure, compounded by a slump in construction activities and non-availability of work in the MGNREGA rural employment scheme. However, drought cannot be blamed entirely on monsoon failure or on climate change; a flawed agricultural policy is a bigger causative factor in the collapse of farm and dairy production in semi-arid regions. The policy approach...

Clouds May Be Contributing to Rising Temperatures and Climate Change
2016-04-09 23:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Wingate: Studying the make-up of mixed-phase clouds, they found that clouds today actually hold more liquid, instead of ice. So as the planet warms, these clouds have less ice available to turn to water, which is a problem, because water is good at reflecting sunlight away from earth, and we were kind of banking on this whole ice-to-water transition as a natural way to slow warming. "According to the study published Thursday in the journal Science, computer model simulations say there is more ice and less...

Earth Axis Is Shifting & It's all Because Of Climate Change

Fayette Advocate: The movements of the Earth's axis are crucial to understand, since they affect the performance of satellites and global positioning systems. The study, published recently in the journal Nature Geoscience, also revealed that about half of the ice in north-central Greenland is resting on a thawed bed and that the meltwater is routed to the ocean through a dense hydrological network beneath the ice. The study doesn't say whether these climate changes are man-made but that they seem to be affecting...
Climate change could limit salmon fishing

KOIN: Fishery delegates from Oregon, Washington, California and Idaho are meeting to discuss fishing limits. In the past, aggressive commercial fishing caused the Pacific Fishery Management Council to limit the number of fish people can catch. But this year, it`s more of a climate issue. "The oceans provide our oxygen, the oceans provide tremendous protein that the world`s population lives. We are all ocean people one way or another," says Kathy Sullivan with NOAA. The limits will apply to regions...

Network news coverage of climate change dropped, on average, in 2015

PRI: Despite such major stories as President Barack Obamas Clean Power Plan, the Paris climate agreement and the Popes encyclical on climate change, on average NBC, CBS and ABC all devoted fewer minutes of coverage to global warming, according to Media Matters for America, which has been monitoring climate coverage since 2009. The total amount of coverage on the nightly news and the Sunday talk shows dropped five percent in 2015, says Andrew Seifter, climate and energy program director for Media...
