Washington Post: Weve already heard of all the nasty consequences that could occur if the pace of global climate change doesnt abate by the year 2050 -- we could see wars over water, massive food scarcity, and the extinction of once populous species. Now add to the mix a potentially new wrinkle on the abrupt and irreversible changes superintelligent robots would be just about ready to take over from humanity in the event of any mass extinction event impacting the planet. In fact, according to a mind-blowing...

The Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), which includes Pacific Ocean countries like Tuvalu and Palau, said global warming was already harming their people. The AOSIS said it wanted a moratorium on new coal mines, but was realistic about its chances of convincing Australia to give up its...

CityMetric: How prepared is your city for climate change? This research, originally published in 2013, may hold some answers. More than half the worlds population now lives in cities or urban areas which means our vulnerability to the impacts of climate change is tied up with cities' ability to cope. Responsible for more than 70 per cent of carbon emissions, it is increasingly understood that cities must lead in tackling these problems and adapt to changes in weather patterns. This has led to a proliferation...

Nature World: The first recorded image of the extinct dodo bird appears in a rare, first-edition book published in 1601, about the second Dutch expedition of 1598 to Indonesia, say analysts at the Lyon and Turnbull auction house in Edinburgh, who recently auctioned off the book.
