Guardian: Next December, 196 nations will meet in Paris to agree a course of action to respond to climate change. They will do so under the auspices of the UN framework convention on climate change. This is an international treaty negotiated at the Earth summit in Rio in 1992 with the objective to stabilise greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that will prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system. The discussions in Paris in 2015 will be informed by the latest climate...
When polar bears attack: How climate change is creating a new breed of unlikely killers

Salon: In the summer of 2013, seven American hikers set off on a two-week expedition through Canada`s Arctic tundra. The plan was to experience a pristine landscape rarely seen by humans and, if they were lucky, catch a glimpse of the region`s polar bears. They went prepared with flares and electric fences - enough, they assumed, to protect them from the massive predators. It wasn`t. To say any more would be to spoil the suspenseful, true-life story that Sabrina Shankman recounts in her e-book "Meltdown:...

Delhi Daily News: An increase in agriculture production has a negative impact on the atmosphere across the globe by contributing to climate change, according to a recent report. The recent study has revealed that the considerable increase in the carbon dioxide concentrations is due to a rise in farm productivity. Hence, the rise in pollution levels is attributed not only to electronic products, vehicles and mills but also to crops. Farms throughout the world have become more productive, particularly in the West...

Climate Change, Evolution: Here's Why We Disagree
2014-11-22 15:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ABC News: A growing body of evidence suggests that the passionate debate over public issues ranging from climate change to evolution has little to do with the facts. It has more to do with who we are, which tribe we belong to, and what we hope the future holds. New research from Duke University, for example, concludes that the science of climate change isn't the real issue in that debate. The proposed solutions to that problem -- including bigger government and more regulations -- lead many to conclude...

Reuters: Global investment in tackling climate change fell for a second year in 2013 to $331 billion, largely due to a drop in the cost of solar power technology, according to an annual report on climate finance. Overall, the world is falling further and further behind its low-carbon investment goals, warned the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI), a research and advisory group. "Our analysis shows that global investment in a cleaner, more resilient economy is decreasing, and the gap between finance needed...
