PolicyMic: When I was 18 I registered to vote. The choice was easy at the time: Republican. Though liberal on social issues, I prioritized national security, leaned toward free market policies (this was before the 2008 financial crisis), and I was a proponent of the environment. In our current political environment that last part may seem odd, but it is sometimes forgotten that it was Richard Nixon that signed off on the Clean Air and Water Acts, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Endangered Species...

LiveScience: In terms of sheer quantity, carbon dioxide is the main contributor to global warming, but there are some lesser-known gases that also jeopardize the Earth's climate future. This list includes methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and several others. These gases may make up a small percentage of the emissions society generates, but they pack a devastating punch when released. The threat level for each of these gases varies based on several factors, most notably...

Guardian: Reuters' climate-change coverage fell by nearly 50% after a climate sceptic joined the news agency as a senior editor, a study has found. The sharp decline in coverage since 2011, recorded by the Media Matters for America advocacy group, reinforces charges from a former staffer that Reuters cut back on climate stories under the influence of Paul Ingrassia, who is now the agency's managing editor. Media Matters found a 48% decline in climate-change coverage over a six-month period, after Ingrassia...

Climate-change slowdown is due to warming of deep oceans, say scientists
2013-07-24 13:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: A recent slowdown in the upward march of global temperatures is likely to be the result of the slow warming of the deep oceans, British scientists said on Monday. Oceans are some of the Earth`s biggest absorbers of heat, which can be seen in effects such as sea-level rises, caused by the expansion of large bodies of water as they warm. The absorption goes on over long periods, as heat from the surface is gradually circulated to the lower reaches of the seas. Temperatures around the world have been...
