ValueWalk: A new study that has attempted to establish the deepest global fears of the world population has come to the conclusion that climate change ranks most highly. The study, conducted by the Pew Research Centre, has been published in the run up to the United Nations Climate Change Conference, so it could be said to fit in rather neatly with this agenda. However, as the Pew Research Centre conducted interviews with people in 40 countries between March and May this year, and received responses from...

Energy conservation is key to tackling climate change

Nation: Maybe you've watched videos of polar bears swimming endlessly in the ocean. Or perhaps you've seen statistics of soaring emissions of human-related carbon dioxide (CO2) responsible for the greenhouse effect. Or maybe you've just noticed how much hotter it has gotten over the last few years in Taiwan. Either way, we are all aware that climate change is a huge problem worldwide. The evidence all points in the same direction: global temperatures are steadily increasing. And it seems that...

Climate change drove woolly mammoths to extinction, say scientists

LiveScience: The mighty megafauna of the last ice age, including the wooly mammoths, short-faced bears and cave lions, largely went extinct because of rapid climate-warming events, a new study finds. During the unstable climate of the Late Pleistocene, about 60,000 to 12,000 years ago, abrupt climate spikes, called interstadials, increased temperatures between 7 and 29 degrees Fahrenheit (4 and 16 degrees Celsius) in a matter of decades. Large animals likely found it difficult to survive in these hot conditions,...

Vatican ropes in global leaders to fight climate change, modern slavery

Catholic News Agency: Drawing dozens of mayors from major cities worldwide to discuss the link between slavery and climate change, this week's Vatican conference showed how secular leaders are responding to Pope Francis' lead in protecting the environment and, more importantly, the vulnerable. The Church has a role to protect the vulnerable, and if we follow the words of the Pope, we actually bring into account those who create the suffering of others, said Kevin Hyland, United Kingdom Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner...

Climate change: Time for talking is over

Jamaica Observer: IMAGINE if on the anniversary of its independence the friendliest message your nation gets is that if your country sinks underwater, a nearby island is willing to give your people refuge. That means picking up whatever you might salvage and leaving behind your homeland, your possessions, and your entire heritage. It also entails the suffering and deprivation of starting over in a foreign country with very little if anything. This is not a nightmare for the people of Kiribati or Tuvalu in the Pacific....
