Zee News: In the wake of global warming and considering the fact that it takes Mother Nature 1,000 years to grow a forest, researchers have created the world's first cyberforest to help predict the effect of climate change. Researchers at Washington State University Vancouver created the first computer simulation that grows realistic forests down to the branches, leaves and roots of individual trees. The model, which they called LES, uses recent advances in computing power to grow 100×100-meter stands...

Warren Buffett says it's 'highly likely' climate change poses a major problem

Business Insider: Warren Buffett doesn't think climate change is a major worry for Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. In his latest letter to holders, Buffet addressed the topic of climate change as there is a proxy proposal for Berkshire to discuss how climate change could affect its insurance business at its upcoming meeting. Buffett writes that he is not denying the science showing that climate change will likely be a problem. But he's just not 100% certain that it will be. From the letter (emphasis ours):...

Sydney Morning Herald: When Cyclone Winston barrelled into Fiji last week, Australia's first response was to dispatch RAAF Globemaster cargo planes with urgent aid and defence personnel to help the battered Pacific populace. The amphibious vessel HMAS Canberra is also expected to make landfall on Tuesday, bringing more assistance to a nation hit by the strongest tempest with sustained winds of 287km/h ever recorded in the southern hemisphere. For years, Australia's military has regularly been called upon to assist...

Climate Change: Fish Will Move Toward Poles, Affecting Poor Nations More
2016-02-27 13:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: As fish go toward the Earth's poles as a result of climate change, fishermen in poorer countries will disproportionately feel the impact -- putting a strain on worldwide wealth resources, says a new study. The report from researchers at Rutgers, Princeton, Yale and Arizona State University was recently published in the journal Nature Climate Change. It includes findings that warming temperatures will disperse fish away from the equator, bringing about a "mass redistribution of wealth." The...
United Kingdom: How to combat climate change from your garden

Telegraph: When the screenwriter William Goldman said "nobody knows anything", he was talking about the inability of anyone in Hollywood to predict what would turn out to be the next blockbuster. But he might equally have been talking about gardening and climate change, where no one seems to know for sure what to expect, or how to prepare for it. So I was intrigued to see a report of a project by the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh attempting to answer that question. Edinburgh and its three regional outposts...
