Guardian: El Nios, climate change and increasing conflict linked to prolonged droughts and extreme weather are leaving the world unable to cope with the food needs of millions of people, the World Food Programme (WFP) has warned. The UN agency, which last year appealed for $8.5bn from governments to provide food aid to people in 80 or more countries but only received $5.5bn, said donors had never been more generous but that the challenges were now outpacing available funds.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon set the tone when he warned that the impacts of climate change are growing. "Three out of four humanitarian disasters are now climate-related. Economic losses have increased by more than half over the past decade. And ecosystems, and food and water supplies are under increasing pressure," he said. The hardest...

Dire glimpses of what pollution doing in Bangladesh

Wired: Bangladesh is dominated by a vast river delta of rich, fertile and flat land no more than 40 feet above sea level. That makes it especially susceptible to climate change. Scientists estimate that rising sea levels will claim as much as 17 percent of the country by 2050, displacing as many as 18 million people. Bangladeshi photojournalist Probal Rashid was born in the rice-growing district of Gazipur in 1979, and has seen this threat first-hand. He`s made it his mission to document the threat industrialization,...

Climate Central: NASA's former climate chief has issued a stark new study that finds that the world's current climate goal could be inadequate and may not prevent catastrophic losses from rising seas, ocean temperatures and changes in global weather. But the extreme nature of his projections has some scientists questioning the methods he used and the results he reached. Global leaders and scientists have agreed that keeping global warming to within 2°C of pre-industrial temperatures represents a safe level of...

Arctic Ice Melting Faster and Earlier With Dire Results
2015-05-09 15:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: There was less ice in the Arctic this winter than in any other winter during the satellite era, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists said on Tuesday. The announcement was consistent with previous predictions that the Arctic would have entirely ice-free summers by 2040, they said in a briefing to the media on the state of climate trends in the North Pole. The consequences of such a small quantity of Arctic ice are major and far-reaching. After undergoing a period of colder...
