Daily Beast: Back in March, I argued in The Daily Beast that Republican politicians were finally coming around on climate change. Romm believes that that the key figures pushing climate denial will be judged very harshly by history, in the category of Neville Chamberlain or people who were shills for the tobacco industry. At that time, at least some in the GOP had pivoted from a position of outright denial toward one that at least accepted that the world was warming, even if most stopped short of acknowledging...

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: For the first time since Sir Douglas Mawson's Antarctic expeditions in the 1920s and 1930s, scientists will be conducting climate studies in the area known as the Kerguelen Plateau, in the Southern Ocean. The Kerguelen Plateau, hundreds of kilometres north of Mawson Station, is one of only three lines of longitude where the Antarctic Circumpolar Current flows across the Antarctic continental shelf, the deep ocean and subantarctic islands.

Climate Change Could Cause Power Blackouts Worldwide

TakePart: The record heat waves and devastating droughts that accompany climate change could also hurt the worlds electricity production, according to a new study. As temperatures warm and drought periods grow longer and more severe over the next 50 years, the water levels in rivers and lakes are expected to fall. For 98 percent of the worlds power plants, thats a problem that could result in a 30 percent decrease in electricity production in some months at most power stations. Natural water flow...
