Former Vice President Al Gore speaks during the Center for American Progress 10th Anniversary Conference in Washington, D.C., Oct. 24, 2013. Climate models used by scientists to predict how much human activities will warm the planet have been over-predicting global warming for the last six decades, according to a recent working paper by climate scientists.

Washington Post: On climate change, curb your enthusiasm. Its not that the recent international conference in Paris didnt take significant steps to check global warming. It did. Nearly 200 countries committed to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The goal of limiting warming to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) from preindustrial times was reaffirmed. The trouble is that whats being attempted is so fundamentally difficult that even these measures may be wildly unequal to the task. Whats being...

UK floods and extreme global weather linked to El Nio and climate change

Guardian: From some of the worst floods ever known in Britain, to record-breaking temperatures over the Christmas holiday in the US and and forest fires in Australia, the link between the tumultuous weather events experienced around the world in the last few weeks is likely to be down to the natural phenomenon known as El Nio making the effects of man-made climate change worse, say atmospheric scientists. El Nio occurs every seven to eight years and is caused by unusually warm water in the Pacific Ocean....

Toronto Star: 2016 will mark the 10-year anniversary of a very important film that put a lot of teenagers to sleep. That film was An Inconvenient Truth. Ten years ago, at the age of 16, I, like thousands of high-school students across the country, was forced to watch former U.S. vice-president Al Gores Academy Award-winning documentary a mashup of PowerPoint data and melting ice caps in a class of overwhelmingly bored peers. On screen, Gore was kind and intelligent, but he wasnt exactly rabble-rousing,...

Let's treat all climate change culprits equally

Toronto Star: I spent part of my Christmas vacation this year barbequing outside, without a jacket on. The last time I spent Christmas outside without a jacket on was 1998. I was visiting family in India. While I recognize it is not only irresponsible but also statistically incorrect to causally link any one given weather event to climate change, the bleak scientific reality is that oceans are becoming increasingly desalinated, sea levels are rising, extreme heat waves and prolonged droughts are worryingly commonplace,...
