Seattle Times: LAST month, the citizens of France -- and the world -- confronted two great crises of our time: international terrorism and climate change. They overcame fear, demonstrated great hope for the future and, most important, took action to overcome both. We know -- we were there. As delegates to the United Nations Conference of the Parties on climate change, we witnessed Parisians take action to strengthen public safety and security. We also saw the world take a historic and united step forward in...

Guardian: The Doomsday Clock, the symbolic countdown to humanitys end, remained stuck on the brink of the apocalypse for a second year on Tuesday, because of the continued existential threats posed by nuclear war and climate change. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the group which created the clock in 1947, said it was keeping the clock hands set at three minutes to midnight the closest the clock has come to destruction since the throes of the cold war in 1984. The clock ticks now at just three...

Conversation: As the scientific consensus for climate change has strengthened over the past decade, the arguments against the science of climate change have been on the increase. Thats the surprise finding of a study, published in the journal Global Environmental Change last month, which analysed and identified the key themes in more than 16,000 publications about climate change by conservative organisations. Conservative think-tanks are organisations that oppose policies, such as regulation of pollution...
New model emerges for monsoons in a changing global climate

ScienceDaily: A Yale University study suggests that continent-scale monsoons will adapt to climate change gradually, without suddenly losing their watery oomph. Writing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences the week of Jan. 25, 2016 Yale atmospheric scientists William Boos and Trude Storelvmo say a broad range of factors -- from changes in land use to increased aerosol emissions and greenhouse gas concentrations -- would likely prompt changes in the massive air circulations commonly known...

Ban Ki-moon urges leaders to sign climate pact in April

Climate HOme: In December, 195 countries struck a deal binding all countries for the first time to cap warming to "well below" 2C, "pursuing efforts" to keep it up to 1.5C by the end of this century. Some 55 countries responsible for 55% of global emissions must ratify the Paris Agreement for it to enter into force for the period 2020-2030. Signing the agreement would be a bold political statement, though a president`s initials alone won`t suffice. Countries must "deposit their respective instruments...
