The World Meteorological Organisation's Michel Jarraud says Australia's record-breaking summer helped push average global temperatures higher this year, and rising sea levels worsened the situation in the Philippines. "The impact of this cyclone was definitely significantly more than what it would have been 100 years ago because of the simple mechanical...

Guardian: Hundreds of crop pests are advancing away from the tropics at a rate of nearly two miles a year, research has shown. The mostly likely explanation for the trend is said to be climate change as rising temperatures make new habitats more inviting. Pest invasions driven by global warming have serious implications for agriculture and food security, according to scientists. Already, between 10% and 16% of global crop production is lost to pests such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, insects and worms. ...

Energy and environmental correspondent with the National Journal, Coral Davenport, says that climate change is an issue that the Pentagon and the CIA characterize as a threat multiplier for violence, conflict, and even for war. Situations of political, economic, and ethnic unrest can be exacerbated by extreme drought, water...
