International Business Times: Theres nothing like a blast of winter weather to bring climate change skeptics out of the woodwork, asking if global warming can really exist if its cold outside. But most climate scientists will tell you that a warming climate does not mean that a period of eternal summer descends across the planet.

Ledger: A polar bear stranded on an island of ice has been an iconic image of the effects of climate change. But Penn State University scientist Michael Mann, giving a lecture on climate change last month at the University of Florida, said he's been criticized for including polar bears in his presentation because they don't seem relevant to people's everyday lives. So he includes photos of weather extremes fueled by climate change that are relevant to the state where he's giving the lecture. For his...

Scientist settles in iconic 'drowning polar bears' row with US agency

Guardian: An Alaska scientist whose observations of drowned polar bears helped galvanize the global warming movement has retired as part of a settlement with a federal agency. Charles Monnett was briefly suspended in 2011 from his work with the US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement -- now known as the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management --during an inspector general's investigation into a polar bear research contract he managed. Investigators in their report released last year said...
