Guardian: Australians are in the dark about the risks climate change poses for the local insurance industry because Australian insurers dont disclose enough information, a new report claims.

Extreme weather, shifting seasons, changes in food availability and emerging diseases are just a small sampling of how global warming is wreaking havoc on wildlife--especially species that are already having a rough go of it.

But theyll be considerably less informed about the potentially far more devastating effects expected elsewhere. Thats because scientific research on climate change that concerns, or is produced in, the poorest and most vulnerable countries is largely missing. A new analysis of 15,000 papers published...
