Independent: 97 per cent of scientists agree that climate change is caused by humans, an American study has claimed. Significantly, the researchers behind the study also found that the more knowledge of climate science these scientists have, the more likely they are to believe in human-caused climate change. The study, published recently in the Environmental Research Letters journal, was conducted by a team from Michigan Technological University. It was compiled through the analysis of seven previous...

Mongabary: Sea level rise severely threatens small islands across the globe. But now, these islands have another cause for worry reduced freshwater access and increasing aridity due to climate change. According to a new study published in Nature Climate, climate change may dry out 73 percent of the worlds small islands by 2050. This is greater than previous estimates which indicate that 50 percent of the islands would become drier. Island groups such as the French Polynesia, the Marshall Islands, and the...
How climate change dries up mountain streams

PhysOrg: The western United States relies on mountain snow for its water supply. Water stored as snow in the mountains during winter replenishes groundwater and drives river runoff in spring, filling reservoirs for use later in summer. But how could a warming globe and a changing climate interrupt this process? In a new study in Environmental Research Letters, a team of hydrologists that includes University of Utah professor Paul Brooks answers...

How climate change threatens the future of Seattles power supply

MYNorthWest: Seattles power utility is already planning ahead to face the potential effects climate change will have on its ratepayers. In fact, Seattle City Light has already experienced a $30 million loss due to unusual weather -- weather that is expected to be the norm in the decades to come. A year ago it was significant how many days we did not have the high demand for heating (in winter), said Seattle City Light spokesperson Scott Thomsen. It was so much warmer that it added up to about $30 million...
