Patch: It may not be the best time to make long-term real estate investments along the Oregon Coast, according to a new report from Zillow, the real estate website. The website used data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to look at the 23 states in the U.S. along the coast to examine which parts would be underwater if sea levels rise by as much as 6 feet.

Scientific American: That averting climate change will save us money should be a tautology, but for reasons including entrenched interests, it is not. The pre-cautionary principle alone would tell us that we do not want to learn what costs climate change will incur, so better to pay a small premium to avoid the risk at all. Instead, calculated estimates pin the cost of avoiding catastrophic effects from climate change at something like 1% of global GDP. So who will pay for it, and who loses from a more sustainable economy?...

Can climate corridors help species adapt to warming world?

Conversation: If you flip over a log in a forest in the southeastern U.S., you are likely to find a squirming salamander. A healthy forest floor, full of fallen branches and rotting leaves, provides these amphibians with the moisture, protection and food they need to survive and thrive. If rain falters or if temperatures rise too high for these animals to survive, they would need to move to another cooler, wetter part of the forest. However, many of the forests in the southeastern U.S. exist only as isolated...
