ABC Australia: There are renewed calls for national monitoring of Australian beaches in the wake of severe storms which washed away homes and other waterside properties along the east coast. The Water Research Laboratory at the University of New South Wales, led by Professor Ian Turner, has been monitoring Narrabeen and Collaroy beaches, two of the hardest hit in the weekend's storms, for 40 years. "We've seen quite large erosion, particularly in the southern ends of the beaches," Professor Turner told 7.30....

Indian Express: Global warming melting Arctic regions, climate change is happening everywhere: NASA Global warming melting Arctic regions, climate change is happening everywhere: NASA Temperatures are warming faster in the Arctic than elsewhere, which has led to longer seasons for plants to grow in and changes to the soils. A new NASA study has found out that due to the changing climate, Arctic regions of North America are getting greener, with almost a third of the land cover looking more like landscapes...

2016-06-06 11:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mother Nature: Climate change has affected our environment in ways we can't yet perceive, but it's not difficult to find evidence of its causes and effects in our daily lives. Much of the warming our climate is experiencing can be easily traced to the burning of fossil fuels. Whether it's from the millions of cars we drive every day or the coal-fired power plants that produce our energy, the world releases more than 35 million kilotons of CO2 into the air every year. This CO2 is then trapped in the Earth's atmosphere...

KPBS: Del Mar could be the first city in San Diego County to follow the example of San Diego's environmental goals. The Del Mar City Council will consider a draft Climate Action Plan Monday night. The plan contains benchmarks similar to the ambitious goals adopted by the city of San Diego last year. Nicole Capretz, director of the environmental advocacy group Climate Action Campaign, said Del Mar has the advantage of being a smaller city and therefore more nimble. While the city of San Diego...
