Toronto Star: On the climate change front, there is rarely any good news. Just this week, one study found that even if we manage to limit global warming to two degrees Celsius -- the target for current climate negotiations -- sea levels may still rise six metres above their current heights, drastically affecting millions of people and altering coastlines around the world. But former U.S. vice-president Al Gore -- who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to build awareness of climate change --...

io9: A study led by Canadian researchers shows that bumblebees are disappearing in many areas where they lived several decades ago, and climate change is to blame. Unlike most animals--and for reasons not entirely known--bumblebees cant move north to cope with warmer temperatures. They dont fare well in warmer climates because they evolved in cooler regions, away from the tropics. This makes them particularly vulnerable to changing climatic conditions. To learn exactly how climate change is impacting...

Grist: Bees are having a really hard time right now. For about a decade, they`ve been dying off at an unprecedented rate - up to 30 percent per year, with a total loss of domesticated honeybee hives in the United States worth an estimated $2 billion.

These chemicals are widely used...
