Agence France-Presse: Climate change may lead to disturbances in marine life that will take thousands of years to recover from, not hundreds of years as previously thought, researchers said Monday. The study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is based on a section of fossilized ocean fauna found on the seafloor off the coast of California dating to between 3,400 and 16,100 years ago. Researchers sliced up the sediment like a cake for a before-and-after glimpse of how creatures were affected by...

Imagine an apparel sourcing world with a single set of testing and auditing procedures across product safety, social compliance and environmental sustainability. Where PVH would accept an audit by VF, and VF would accept an audit by Under Armour. Well, it's a vision already shared by around 30 of the world's biggest brands and retailers - and they're urging more companies to get involved.

Reuters: The heavy rainfall that battered Chile's usually arid north this week happened because of climate change, a senior meteorologist said, as the region gradually returns to normal after rivers broke banks and villages were cut off. "For Chile, this particular system can only be possible in an environment of a changed climate," Deputy Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization Jeremiah Lengoasa told Reuters on a visit to Santiago on Friday. The intense rainfall that began Tuesday in...
Extreme cold temps not the result of climate change

RedOrbit: A harsh winter cold spell that affected much of the Eastern US last month may have shattered record low temperatures that had stood for decades, but it was not the result of climate change, according to researchers from ETH Zurich and the California Institute of Technology. In fact, events experienced in that part of the country over the past two winters may have caused part of Niagara Falls to freeze and ice floes to form on the Great Lakes, but incidents like this are actually becoming increasingly...

Africa: Climate Change Cap Must be Lowered to 1.5C, Warns Expert

SciDev.Net: World leaders must reduce the long-held target of limiting global warming to below two degrees Celsius to avoid catastrophic impacts on the world's poorest people, says a leading climate scientist. Industrialised nations must stop ignoring the sustained calls from the developing world - backed by scientists - and set a 1.5 degree cap when the internationally agreed limit comes under review at UN climate talks later this year in Paris, France, says Petra Tschakert, a geographer from Pennsylvania...
