Monterey County Weekly: We have a pretty good idea of what climate change will do to the landscape: melt it, flood it, tear it up in freak superstorms, turn it into desert. But what will climate change do to us to our bodies and minds? The White House released a major report April 4 that tries to answer that question, drawing on research from eight federal agencies. The coming health crisis it describes is ugly, and wide-ranging. An extra 11,000 premature deaths each year by 2030 from extreme heat waves; babies born...

India: Climate change buffer and keeper of ecology balance

Times of India: As long as the 21st-century man will continue to tamper with natural buffers like the Aravali hills, hotter summers (and warmer winters) will become a way of life. The Aravali bionetwork has been around for aeons. "They're much more ancient than the Himalayas, and they're uniquely important," says Amina Shervani, a Gurgaon-based entrepreneur and land-rights activist. "We are fortunate to have something as the Aravallis next door." These hills, she explains, created a system of lakes where run-off...

Clinton & climate activists have some real disagreements over fossil fuels

Grist: Hillary Clinton agrees with climate activists that we need to shift our electric grid to run on renewable energy. But she doesn`t agree with some of the more hard-core green groups on how quickly a full switchover can be achieved and what policy steps we should be pursuing to make that happen. Two main points of dispute stand out: Should the federal government continue to allow fossil fuel extraction on public land in the interim? Clinton says yes, activists say no. And do we need natural gas...

1200 years of water balance data challenge climate models

ScienceDaily: Water availability in the Northern Hemisphere has seen much larger changes during the past twelve centuries than during twentieth century global warming, a new study in Nature reports. The team with participation of the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL concludes that climate models overestimate wet and dry extremes as temperatures increased during the twentieth century. The new results can help to improve the ability of climate models to predict future hydroclimate changes. The researchers from...
