Climate Change Is Getting Worse, and So Are the Republicans' Responses
2016-02-23 12:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Esquire: Apparently, the Republicans are having bear-baiting competitions all over Nevada tonight. (I'm hoping somebody has a camera at a caucus in, say, Laughlin, in which the forces of He, Trump feel that they're being hosed. A new venue for the latest UFC production!) This is probably a smart play. All of the candidates on that side of the field have pronounced themselves not fooled by the Great Climate Change Hoax and, if things keep going the way they are, Nevada will have substantial beachfront property...

Bill Gates: 'we need an energy miracle' to tackle climate change

Verge: Bill Gates thinks the world needs an "energy miracle" to tackle climate change, and he's optimistic about our chances. The Microsoft co-founder and his wife, Melinda Gates, laid out their vision for the future today in an annual letter published by their eponymous philanthropic organization. Unlike previous letters, this year's version is geared toward teenagers, and is centered around a very childlike question: "If you could have one superpower, what would it be?" For Bill, the answer is energy;...

Mother Jones: In December, Republicans in Congress struck a deal with Democrats to extend a package of tax breaks for wind and solar energy projects. Prior to the deal, things looked bleak. The tax credit for wind had already expired the year before, and the one for solar was set to expire by 2016. So the extension, which came after Democrats agreed to support lifting the long-standing ban on US oil exports, was a big and unexpected win for clean energy--one that will help buoy the industry for the next six years....

Al Jazeera: On Feb. 1, the World Health Organization declared the spread of Zika virus across Latin America a public health emergency of global concern. Zika is a mosquito-borne virus related to the dengue and yellow fever viruses. In most cases, infection by Zika has no symptoms, which means the disease is usually not diagnosed. Only 20 percent of Zika cases are accompanied by symptoms such as fever and rash. The disease, which originated in Brazil, has spread to almost 30 other countries and territories,...

Inquistr: In as little as 20 years, forests in the U.S. may look very different than they do today. A new study is warning that climate change and drought will likely threaten all of the countrys trees. The effects on the American West have already proven disastrous, but a new study that compiles hundreds of smaller studies on the health of U.S. forests and rangelands has suggested that the problem will spread east, the Christian Science Monitor reported. Science is currently scrambling to understand the...
