Jakarta Post: To the surprise of many, COP21 2015 has finished in Paris with a spectacular achievement. The target is to hold the increase in the global average temperature to below 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. In spite of its success, COP21 ignored the risk of water scarcity, which is closely related to climate change. From the other side, many issues about financing the agreement are left hanging in the air. The...

Daily News: The ripple effect of climate change seems to be reaching for the worlds drinking water. Lakes are warming at a faster average rate than oceans and the atmosphere, a new study funded by NASA and the National Science Foundation found.

Climate change: Warm water is mixing up life in the Arctic
2015-11-20 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The warming of arctic waters in the wake of climate change is likely to produce radical changes in the marine habitats of the High North. This is indicated by data from long-term observations in the Fram Strait, which researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) have now analysed. Their most important finding: even a short-term influx of warm water into the Arctic Ocean would suffice to fundamentally impact the local symbiotic communities, from the water's surface down to the deep seas. As...
Water Remains Largely Marginalized in Climate Talks

Inter Press Service: U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry last week turned the spotlight on the "record number" of extreme weather-related events the world is witnessing these days. With an eye on the upcoming climate change talks in Paris, he warned that in the South Pacific, entire islands are at risk, largely threatened by a sea-level rise. In southeast Brazil, they're suffering through the worst drought in 80 years. In California, it's the worst drought in a century - plus wildfires. In Malawi, there are record...
