Grist: This week, following months of slobbering coverage from mainstream and nominally liberal journalists, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) announced that he will actively explore the possibility of running for president of the United States." If anyone suggests that could be good news for the climate, dont buy it. Center-left establishment journalists like to demonstrate their nonpartisan credentials by finding at least one Republican presidential candidate to hold up as the exemplar of reasonable,...

WH: Agencies should factor for climate change in project reviews
2014-12-18 21:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Hill: The White House is floating new guidelines for federal agencies on how to weigh climate change impacts when reviewing energy and infrastructure projects. The proposed guidelines from the White House Council on Environmental Quality specifically address National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews by agencies, which require an analysis of the environmental impact by projects that need a federal greenlight. NEPA reviews are used when the federal agencies consider offshore drilling leases,...

Everyone in the state knows the severity of the problem: were in the midst of our worst drought in...
Climate change could cut world food output 18 percent by 2050

Reuters: Global warming could cause an 18 percent drop in world food production by 2050, but investments in irrigation and infrastructure, and moving food output to different regions, could reduce the loss, a study published on Thursday said. Globally, irrigation systems should be expanded by more than 25 percent to cope with changing rainfall patterns, the study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters said. Where they should be expanded is difficult to model because of competing scenarios...
How will climate change transform agriculture?

PhysOrg: Climate change impacts will require major but very uncertain transformations of global agriculture systems by mid-century, according to new research from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis. Climate change will require major transformations in agricultural systems, including increased irrigation and moving production from one region to another, according to the new study, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. However without careful planning for uncertain...
