Grist: Last week, a much discussed new paper in the journal Nature seemed to suggest to some that we neednt worry too much about the melting of Greenland, the mile-thick mass of ice at the top of the globe. The research found that the Greenland ice sheet seems to have survived a previous warm period in Earths history - the Eemian period, some 126,000 years ago - without vanishing (although it did melt considerably). But Ohio State glaciologist Jason Box isnt buying it. At Mondays Climate Desk...

The report, a collaboration between International POPs Elimination Network (IPEN) and Biodiversity Research Institute (BRI), highlights the urgent need for an overall reduction in mercury emissions when government delegates convene next week in Geneva in their final negotiating session to establish an...

Could climate change turn humans into hobbits?
2013-01-10 12:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: It sounds far-fetched, but scientists increasingly believe that animals including people will get smaller if global warming runs out of control. Researchers studying fossils laid down in what is now Wyoming the last time temperatures rose rapidly, some 55 million years ago found that animals from horses to insects adapted by downsizing.
