This is Why Scientists Have Hope For the Climate

Climate Central: There's no getting around the fact that climate change is a bummer. The planet is warming, ice is melting, oceans are acidifying and, well, you get the point. While the bad news is important -- it lets us know what we're getting into with this whole climate change thing -- it's also worth remembering there's reason for hope. This year the world finally came together in Paris where a landmark climate pact was agreed to to try to put a cap on greenhouse gas emissions, and there are some fascinating...

Southwest's Conifers Face Trial By Climate Change

Scientific American: As you sit round the Christmas tree, consider the TLC you give O Tannenbaum: plenty of water and a relatively comfortable climate. Wouldn't want to dry out the tree, after all. Now consider that in the house we all live inthe planetwere hardly giving the same courtesy to your Christmas tree's wild cousins. (Who, I might add, are actually still alive.) As the planet warms, droughts are getting even drierand they're getting hotter too. In fact it's getting so bad that researchers are now forecasting...

Obama insists climate deal will outlast GOP 'climate denial'

National Public Radio: With a Paris climate agreement just over a week old, President Obama is singling out the GOP on climate change. In an interview with NPRs Steve Inskeep, the president lambasted Republicans, whom he views as excessively contrarian on the issue. The Republican Party in the United States is perhaps literally the only major party in the developed world that is still engaging in climate denial, he said. Heres his explanation for calling the GOPs stance an outlier on climate, even compared with far-right...

Keeping up crop production as climate shifts the country's 'bread basket'
2015-12-24 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: In September 2014, a group of leading plant and agricultural researchers sat down at Washington University in St. Louis to discuss a looming question -- how will agriculture in the Midwest be affected by climate change? This wasn't just an academic exercise. Midwestern farmers grow the majority of the country's corn and soybeans, and scientists had predicted that yields could take a substantial hit from changing weather patterns, with potential impacts on food prices and farmers' earnings. Even...

Paris climate goals mean emission need drop below zero

ABC: If governments are serious about the global warming targets they adopted in Paris, scientists say they have two options: eliminating fossil fuels immediately or finding ways to undo their damage to the climate system in the future. The first is politically impossible - the world is still hooked on using oil, coal and natural gas - which leaves the option of a major cleanup of the atmosphere later this century. Yet the landmark Paris Agreement, adopted by 195 countries on Dec. 12, makes no reference...
