Pope Francis was right on climate change

Washington Post: Climate will have such a profound effect on the earth that we will need to reconsider our relationship with the natural environment. Thats why many environmental activists are now being drawn to an evolving philosophical stance on the topic, shifting away from an approach that is simply political, scientific or economic. There can be no ecology without an adequate anthropology, Pope Francis said in Laudato Si, the papal encyclical released last summer. Francis rejected both an anthropocentric...

Droughts from climate change will hit developed countries harder

CBC: New research suggests farms in developed countries may be more vulnerable to longer, deeper droughts predicted to occur as a result of climate change. "(Those farms) are really good in terms of producing high yields in stable climates, but maybe they're more vulnerable to weather shocks," said Navin Ramankutty of the University of British Columbia, co-author of a paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Ramankutty and his colleagues examined United Nations crop data from 177 countries between...

ClimateWire: If Republicans are preparing to launch an offensive against the historic climate change agreement the Obama administration struck in Paris last month, they're being awfully quiet about it. While die-hard congressional opponents of President Obama's climate policies did respond to the mid-December news that nearly 200 nations had accepted a long-sought deal, those statements were fewer and less vitriolic than expected -- especially considering that the White House was claiming the accord as a cornerstone...

Climate Change News: Its been 15 years since researchers last ran the numbers on how climate denial is disseminated in public discourse. A study recently published in the journal Global Environmental Change fills the gap, taking a fine tooth-comb to misinformation pumped out by conservative think tanks from 1998 to 2013. It analysed almost 25 million words of op-eds, blogs and policy reports available online from 16 US groups such as the American Enterprise Institute, Heritage Foundation and Heartland Institute...

Overcoming hurdles to climate change adaptation in the Arctic
2016-01-07 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Outdated land management practices, a dearth of local decision-making bodies with real powers, a lack of long-term planning, along with long-standing educational and financial disempowerment and marginalization are among the hurdles the prevent Arctic communities from adapting to climate change, says a McGill-led research team. But Arctic communities inherently have the capacity to adapt to significant climate change. That's partly because they are used to accepting a chan…
