Even as climate change gets worse, UN climate reports are getting harder to read

Washington Post: Lets face it: Climate science isnt always the easiest subject to explain to non-scientists. However, the political charge surrounding global conversations about climate change makes it all the more important to communicate the science to the general public as clearly and accurately as possible. Unfortunately, new research suggests that the worlds foremost body dedicated to reviewing and communicating climate science may be falling short in this area. The U.N.s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate...

MSNBC: Its been well established over many years that Exxon is one of the worlds leading voices when it comes to denying the evidence of climate change. Whats new, however, are reports that the oil giant has quietly operated for decades on the assumption that the scientific evidence is real. The L.A. Times had a fascinating piece on this yesterday, which deserves to have an impact on the broader policy discussion. [In 1990] in the far northern regions of Canadas Arctic frontier, researchers...
Unreadable UN science reports hampering climate action study

Climate Home: The UN climate science bodys reports are unreadable, holding back evidence-based action on global warming. That is the uncompromising verdict of a study from Kedge Business School published in Nature Climate Change on Monday. Based on linguistic analysis, it found readers needed a relevant postgraduate qualification to understand the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) summaries for policymakers. "Global action on climate change might be seriously hampered, said study lead...

Paleoclimate researchers find connection between carbon cycles, climate trends
2015-10-12 05:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Making predictions about climate variability often means looking to the past to find trends. Now paleoclimate researchers from the University of Missouri have found clues in exposed bedrock alongside an Alabama highway that could help forecast climate variability. In their study, the researchers verified evidence suggesting carbon dioxide decreased significantly at the end of the Ordovician Period, 450 million years ago, preceding an ice age and eventual mass extinction. These results will help climatologists...
