HNGN: A new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) suggests global climate change is advancing at an alarming and "unprecedented" rate. Last year's extreme weather broke a series of records, including global temperatures, exceptional rainfall, devastating droughts, unusual cyclone activity and intense heat waves. And while 2015 proved to be the warmest year worldwide, 2016 is expected to far exceed those records. "The year 2015 will stand out in the historical record of the global...

Delmarva Daily Times: In the battle against climate change, one of the best-kept secrets is the small modular reactor. The U.S. fleet of about 100 nuclear power plants consists of large reactors of 1,200 megawatts or more. These plants produce more than 60 percent of the nation's carbon-free electricity, far more than solar and wind energy combined, and reactors like those at the Calvert Cliffs plant in Maryland supply power around the clock, day after day, regardless of weather conditions. According to the Energy...

Union-Tribune: As ocean warming continues to trigger widespread destruction of coral reefs, a decade-long study of remote islands in the Central Pacific suggests these biodiversity hotspots may be able to thrive despite the threats posed by an increasingly hotter planet. With many parts of the globe in the grip of a nearly two-year coral reef bleaching event -- fueled in part by El Nio-driven ocean warming -- scientists and marine conservation advocates have feared many reefs could suffer irreparable damage...
