Blue and Green: Biologists from San Diego could help scientists understand how the burning of fossil fuels affects plants and help engineer ways to improve crops. Scientists at the University of California, San Diego, have published a paper in the journal Nature regarding the discovery of a new genetic pathway in plants. This will help biologists know more about how climate change and the rising levels of CO2 are affecting plants and crops. It could help scientists to engineer plants in such a way that they could...

With Sea Levels Rising, A Small Island Nation Buys A New Home

Fast Company: Kiribati's escape plan is a Fijian island. Rich people like to buy property on tropical islands for privacy on vacation. For the people of the nation Kiribati, whose government recently announced that it purchased land on a Fiji island more than 1,200 miles away, the reasons are more dire. The property is an escape plan. Kiribati is a tiny island country with a population of 100,000 people in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It faces an existential crisis: Within a few decades, as sea levels...
Fix the climate problem? Easy. Cut U.S. emissions to 1901 levels

Bloombertg: A draft report prepared for the United Nations suggests, out loud, what the U.S. needs to do about climate change: Cut emissions to one-tenth of current levels, per person, in less than 40 years. Its perilous to say these things in the U.S., where a mere description of the scale of the climate challenge too often invites ridicule and dismissiveness. Americans are each responsible for about 18 tons of carbon dioxide a year. Taking that down 90 percent would mean a drop in emissions to what they...
Bad news about rising sea levels

Sydney Morning Herald: An 'OMG' moment for ice researchers. Sea levels may rise much faster than predicted because climate models have failed to account for the disruptive effects of stronger westerly winds, Australian-led research has found. Recent studies of Antarctica have suggested the giant glaciers of West Antarctica may have begun an irreversible melting that will raise sea levels by as much as 3 metres over 200-500 years. That estimate, though, may prove optimistic because models had failed to account...
