Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Entire species of tropical fish could be wiped out by climate change, according to a research team that has spent months carrying out a study in Western Australia's north. The team from the University of Melbourne is looking at how sensitive freshwater species are to small increases in water temperatures. PhD student Matthew Le Feuvre said the results were cause for concern. "We're finding a lot of species are living potentially very close to their maximum thermal limit, so these species...

Tri-City Herald: Heres what we know about climate change: 97 percent of climate scientists (including me) are convinced, based upon the evidence, that human-caused global warming is happening. The popular narrative in the media these days, however, is that Republicans in Congress dont accept this fact and that the GOP is in denial about the science around climate change. I have some surprising news: Everything you think you know about Republicans and climate change is a myth that I will now explode. An...

Voice of America: A massive heat wave is killing people in many countries around the world. Most die of heat stroke. Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related sickness. It can develop when body temperature reaches 40.5 degrees Celsius (or 105 degrees Fahrenheit). Victims need water and other cooling measures. Untreated heat stroke can lead to organ failure and death. Those who survive can suffer permanent damage. Deadly heat in Pakistan and India A heat wave in Pakistan will join this year's heat wave...

Clapway: The future is dark, and the future is wet, says a new paper from the journal Science. Although it forecasts a thirty-five year wait for really heavy climate change, the paper claims that in this time, the sea levels can be expected to rise by at least 20 feet. To make matters bleaker, this is a best-case scenario forecast, i.e. the twenty feet is an optimistic minimum assuming we manage can manage, as a global society, to hold the global temperature at 2 degrees Celsius higher. Many, however, believe...

(Some) Republicans get religion on climate change

Bloomberg: Jerry Taylor talks with passion about how climate change should be a conservative issue. While environmentalists on the left focus on controlling carbon emissions, Taylor argues the right should be looking at climate change the way it looks at financial risk. Leading climate experts estimate theres a 10 percent chance of catastrophic warming because of climate change in this century. Speaking to an audience at the American Enterprise Institute in June, Taylor put the issue this way: If you knew...
