Reuters: Climate change could cause significant changes to global diets, leading to more than half a million extra deaths in 2050 from illnesses such as stroke, cancer, and heart disease, experts said on Wednesday. As extreme weather such as floods and heat waves wreaks havoc with harvests and crop yields, estimated increases in food availability could be cut by a third by 2050, according to the experts' study published in The Lancet medical journal. This would lead to a reduction of 99 calories available...

New York Times: Is worry worthwhile in confronting a challenge as complex and sprawling in time and geography as greenhouse-driven climate change? Ive addressed this question before in various ways, but was prompted to dig into my ideas and feelings about the building greenhouse effect with new rigor when two very different magazines, Issues in Science and Technology (the magazine of the National Academies) and Creative Nonfiction, invited me to write an essay on my 30 years of climate inquiry. I went through...

Researchers say important fish species are relocating closer to the Earth's poles because of continued global warming and their migration could devastate certain fishing-based economies. The changes are shifting natural resources from nations near the equator and...

Newsweek: By 2050, global climate change will have made its mark on nutritional health. New research published March 2 in The Lancet finds that by making food less available, climate change could account for more than 500,000 deaths that year. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says climate change already has reduced crop yields. For example, in Brazil corn yields are down 8 percent, and in Russia wheat yield has dropped 14 percent. When crop yield goes down, food prices go up, as do a whole...

Toronto Star: Canadian premiers headed into the First Ministers Meeting hoping the federal government would remain open and flexible on how exactly to fight climate change, and there are signs an agreement has been reached. Canada is a very big country, and I think the approach to dealing with this issue needs to be as diverse as the country is and hopefully we will have a federal government that will listen to that, Yukon Premier Darrell Pasloski told reporters at the Vancouver Convention Centre Thursday morning....
