Daily Courier: Global warming has a wet side with more intense and destructive rainstorms likely around the world unless greenhouse gas emissions are curbed, delegates to an Okanagan water conference heard Friday. Widespread flooding that devastates communities and imperils agriculture are often the result of a meandering jet stream, guest speaker Bob Sandford told people attending the annual general meeting of the Okanagan Basin Water Board. The jet stream's movements are less predictable than ever, Sandford said,...

Japan: Radiocative Water Leak At Fukushima Worse Than First Thought

National Public Radio: Radiation surrounding Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant has increased 18 fold following a report last month that radioactive water had leaked into the ground around the plant, which was badly damaged in the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Tokyo Electric Power Co., which owns the Dai-Ichi Fukushima plant, reports that radiation around the site is at 1,800 millisieverts per hour, a level that Reuters says is "enough to kill an exposed person in four hours." Previously, the utility, also known...

Time: Given that they cover 70% of the Earth`s surface--and provide about 90% of the planet`s habitable space by volume--the oceans tend to get short shrift when it comes to climate change. The leaked draft of the forthcoming coming new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change highlighted the atmospheric warming we`re likely to see, the rate of ice loss in the Arctic and the unprecedented (at least within the last 22,000 years) rate of increase of concentrations of greenhouse gases like...
Japan: Fukushima 'much worse' than reported

BBC: A nuclear expert has told the BBC that he believes the current water leaks at Fukushima are much worse than the authorities have stated. Mycle Schneider is an independent consultant who has previously advised the French and German governments. He says water is leaking out all over the site and there are no accurate figures for radiation levels. Meanwhile the chairman of Japan's nuclear authority said that he feared there would be further leaks. The ongoing problems at the Fukushima plant...
