PRI: During his business career and, more recently, while running for president, Donald Trump has derided the science of climate change. He has even called it a hoax created by the Chinese. But that hasnt stopped him from invoking the dangers of climate change in a bid to protect one of his golf courses from the dangers of sea level rise. Trump's seaside golf course in County Clare, Ireland -- on the western coast, just south of Galway -- has suffered from serious erosion. The Trump Organization...
How the effects of climate change in one place can radiate all over the world

Washington Post: Its well known that climate change will probably affect some places more severely than others. In general, scientists think developing nations will be hit hardest by such effects as an increase in severe weather events, drought and famine, and a boost in the spread of infectious diseases. But a new study reminds us that the effect of climate change in one place is capable of radiating throughout the rest of the world. The research, which was published Friday in the journal Science Advances, suggests...

Inside Philanthropy: There's perhaps no bigger climate-related challenge than the trillions in clean energy and sustainability investments needed in developing countries. How can private philanthropy possibly make a dent? While reducing greenhouse gas emissions to curb climate change is a global challenge, in many ways, the energy futures of two countries, China and India, will shape the course of the planet. India has a goal of bringing energy to more than 300 million people, a quarter of its population that currently...

MedIndia: The analysis by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Columbia University revealed that the susceptibility of the global economic network to workers' heat-stress has doubled in the last decade. 'Climate damages do not only depend on the warming of our planet, but also on the resilience of our societies and economies.' Advertisement It showed for the first time how enhanced connectivity of the global network of supply can amplify production losses, as these losses can be spread...
Scientists turn CO2 into rock to combat climate change

Agence France-Presse: Scientists have turned carbon dioxide into stone in a matter of months by pumping it deep underground, offering a revolutionary new way of storing the greenhouse gas to tackle climate change. The pioneering experiment in Iceland mixed CO{-2}emissions with water and pumped it hundreds of metres underground into volcanic basalt rock where it rapidly turned into a solid. We need to deal with rising carbon emissions. This is the ultimate permanent storage turn them back to stone, said Juerg Matter,...
