PhysOrg: Solomon Hsiang, Chancellor's Associate Professor of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley, and Adam Sobel, a professor of applied physics and math at Columbia University, foresee dramatic population declines in Mexico, Central America, Africa, India and other tropical locales if ecosystems or humans move due to climate change. In their analysis, the pair used a model to demonstrate how climate dynamics in the tropics can dramatically magnify the consequences of climate change...

Canadian Press: Canada's environment minister doesn't sound at all disturbed that three of the top six most-viewed climate policy proposals on the federal government's consultation web site are profoundly off-message. Throwing the climate-change policy doors wide open to public comment has been an interesting experiment for the new Liberal government in Ottawa, and Catherine McKenna considers it a resounding success notwithstanding some sour notes. "The IPCC (UN-sponsored scientific panel) has no evidence to...

But without the EU the climate struggle would have been lost already. It was almost lost at Copenhagen...

Tech Times: Climate change is known to affect some parts of the world more severely than others, such as developing countries being worse hit by droughts and famine. A new study, however, notes that the effects of weather events can reverberate all over the world. Research from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Change in Germany suggested that globalization, which entails greater connectedness among nations, can lead to climate-related issues in one area to be felt throughout the globe. "[P]roduction failure...

Cantech Letter: A new study shows that economic losses caused by climate change felt in one part of the world are producing ripple effects everywhere else, thanks to globalization. Researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany and Columbia University in the United States looked at manufacturing and production data in 186 countries covering 26 global industries, ranging from mining to textiles and telecommunications, and matched up results with existing research on temperature effects...
