Climate Home: In just over a month, at a bleak airport in the north-eastern suburbs of Paris, the future of the world may be decided at a UN climate change conference. Nearly 200 countries are working on a plan to collectively start weaning themselves off fossil fuels: lifeblood of the global economy, cause of global warming. If they succeed then by 2100 the burning of oil, coal and gas at scale will likely be history. Countries will rely on wind, solar, nuclear for energy, along with technologies as yet unheard...
Extreme Heat is Defining Climate Change

Climate Central: The lasting legacy of climate change will be heat. The land, the oceans, all of it. Its the tie that binds and while the global average temperature is the defining metric, the increasing incidence of heat waves and longer lasting extreme heat is how the world will experience it. All eight papers dealing with extreme heat events in this years Bulletin of the American Meteorological Societys attribution report show a clear climate change signal that made them more likely, more hot or both. In...

Christian Science Monitor: New York's attorney general is examining statements by Exxon Mobil and Peabody Energy to determine whether they deceived investors about the causes and impacts of climate change, an official familiar with the investigations said Thursday. A subpoena was sent Wednesday to Dallas-based Exxon after a yearlong review of shareholder disclosures, said the official, who wasn't authorized to publicly discuss the probes and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's...

Climate change made some extreme weather more likely in 2014, feds say

Hill: A new federal study stopped short of directly linking extreme weather last year to climate change, but said that it made certain weather events much more likely. In North America, that included extreme wildfires in California, tropical cyclones in Hawaii and mild winter in the Midwest, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Other weather events, like Californias drought, extreme cold in the eastern United States and the heavy winter storm season of 2013-2104 were...
Scientists Have Figured Out Which Natural Disasters We Can Blame on Climate Change

New Republic: Climate scientists are pretty good at figuring out the causes of long-term trends. We know that dumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere will make global temperatures rise over time. But pinning down the cause of any single weather event--a specific heat wave, hurricane, or drought--is much more challenging, since extreme things could still happen without global warming. That's why scientists are so reluctant to say that any particular event happened "because of" climate change. Nevertheless,...
