Panel: Finding climate fingerprints in wild weather is valid

Associated Press: Climate science has progressed so much that experts can accurately detect global warming's fingerprints on certain extreme weather events, such as a heat wave, according to a high-level scientific advisory panel. For years scientists have given almost a rote response to the question of whether an instance of weird weather was from global warming, insisting that they can't attribute any single event to climate change. But "the science has advanced to the point that this is no longer true as an...

EcoWatch: On the heels of President Obama and Prime Minister Trudeaus joint announcement on new climate measures, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced it will implement a rule to limit methane emissions from existing oil and gas facilities. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said the agency will start work immediately on the regulations, meant to reduce methane emissions 40 to 45 percent below 2012 levels by 2025. Obama and Trudeau focused on methane in their agreement, along with other...

EcoWatch: Courtrooms usually arent jovial places, but with 21 youth plaintiffs and two busloads of supporting junior high-school students in tow, the air in the U.S. District Courthouse here on Wednesday felt more field trip than federal court. The occasion for the youthful energy was a hearing on a complaint filed on behalf of the plaintiffs, aged 8 19, by Oregon nonprofit Our Childrens Trust. The kids lawyers assert that their clients and the younger generation as a whole, have been deprived of key...

Climate change impact on food will go beyond production
2016-03-11 14:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A study launched last week in the Lancet has found that as many as 529,000 people may die as a result of changes in diet, weight, and health due to climate change impacts on food production. This study is further evidence that the impacts of climate change are real, they are dire, and the need to act is urgent. Much of the research on climate change and agriculture to date has examined the impacts of climate change on food production: how much food will be available. What has not been adequately...

Record carbon dioxide spike puts more pressure on global climate
2016-03-11 12:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: DAVID MARK: The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere grew more last year than at any time in modern history. The current level of CO2 is 402 parts per million. Maintaining levels below 450 parts per million is considered necessary to limit global warming to two degrees. The warming effect of the El Nino weather pattern was a big factor last year, but the new record is still seen as a big wake-up call as global warming races ahead. Australian researchers are warning that the world is...
