CNBC: What does Ireland share in common with the Nordic countries of Norway, Iceland, Sweden and Finland? Well, apart from being in Europe, these countries share the accolade of being the least vulnerable to climate change in the world, according to a new report from Verisk Maplecroft. The risk consultancy ranked Norway, followed by Ireland, as the least vulnerable, judged by the country's exposure to climate change and extreme weather events, coupled with their capability to adapt to, and take advantage...

InsideClimate: Warming waters, rising sea levels, ocean acidification and changing water currents caused by climate change are having devastating effects on marine environments, scientists say. But despite these effects, which researchers say will intensify and spread inland as the planet warms, oceans have not been a focus of international climate negotiations. The authors of a set of five studies on oceans and climate change in a special issue of the journal Science published Thursday hope to change that. ...

InsideClimate: Climate scientist Michael Mann has spent much of his career in the crosshairs of climate denialists. A professor of meteorology and director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University, Mann is best known for helping to develop the famous "hockey stick" graph, which reconstructed 1,000 years of global temperature data and showed the abrupt warming of the late 20th century. Mann, who studied theoretical physics before taking up climate research, published the paper explaining...
