NBC News: Polar bears currently outnumber the residents of a small town in Canada's tundra, but that may change soon. Climate change has sped up the ice melting season in Churchill, Manitoba, a town of about 800 residents -- and 900 polar bears. Experts say the perennial thaw now begins in mid-June, a full 30 days earlier than three decades ago, which means the polar bears spend more time on land. It also means the bears are eating less and birthing smaller cubs that are not as likely to survive. Scientists...

Last years superstorm Hurricane Sandy was labeled as evidence of such climatic storms impacting the US Atlantic coast. However, a new study by researchers from Columbia University and Colorado State University is suggesting climate change could eventually keep such hurricanes from making a sizeable impact on US coastlines....

Asahi Shimbun: The white sand beaches make Boracay island one of the world's favorite tourist destinations. However, over-development and a lack of social infrastructure are threatening to swallow up this valuable tourist asset. The problem is clearly evident every day as tourists, who were at one point relaxing on deck chairs set out on the beach, have to hike up their shorts and dresses as tides come rolling in right up to where their hotels are located.
