Guardian: James Hansens name looms large over any history that will likely be written about climate change. Whether you look at the hard science, the perils of political interference or modern day activism, Dr Hansen is there as a central character. In a 1988 US Senate hearing, Hansen famously declared that the greenhouse effect has been detected and is changing our climate now. Towards the end of his time as the director of NASAs Goddard Institute for Space Studies, Hansen described how government...
NYC could be underwater in decades according to new climate change report

TimeOut: A paper released yesterday by the European science journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics argues that climate change may be accelerating at a much faster rate than previously thought. The scientists argue that sea levels could increase by so much over the next hundred years that coastal cities like New York, London, Rio de Janeiro and Shanghai could be underwater by 2100. The report points to the Eemian period, which took place 120,000 years ago, when the Earth's oceans were six to nine...

"Our hope is to exceed the record," said the UN climate body`s strategy director Halldór Thorgeirsson. 55 countries representing 55% of emissions...

Climate change might be good news for French wine until it isn't

Washington Post: Global warming might just make certain wines tastier, according to a new study -- at least until we reach a temperature tipping point that wrecks it all. In a study published Monday in Nature Climate Change, researchers from Harvard and NASA suggest that global warming is making early harvests of French wine grapes -- harvests associated with higher quality wines, where grapes have just the right balance of acid and sugar -- more frequent. There are two big points in this paper, the first...
