And according to a new study from Indiana University, climate researchers lose credibility with their audience when they dont follow their own advice. That inconsistency is one that the general public is starting to notice. Shahzeen Attari, an author of the study, told Grist she was...

Climate Home: Climate change poses the most significant moral challenge to the global community and an existential threat to the future of many communities worldwide. With the projected rise in sea levels by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of up to one metre within the century, the most vulnerable coastal communities and low-lying island states -- several of which are in Pacific -- face the real possibility of their islands and communities being submerged well within the next hundred years....

Age: Red apples could be a bit less red as temperatures rise due to climate change, Royal Galas are likely to suffer more sun damage, and some fruit growers are likely to rip out trees and opt for different varieties. The looming impact of climate change on the fruit growing industry is detailed in a new report out of the University of Melbourne, which says climate change could affect what is grown and where in some Australian apple growing regions. The report concentrates on science, but as climate...
