PRI: Despite such major stories as President Barack Obamas Clean Power Plan, the Paris climate agreement and the Popes encyclical on climate change, on average NBC, CBS and ABC all devoted fewer minutes of coverage to global warming, according to Media Matters for America, which has been monitoring climate coverage since 2009. The total amount of coverage on the nightly news and the Sunday talk shows dropped five percent in 2015, says Andrew Seifter, climate and energy program director for Media...

Guardian: Climate change could cut the value of the world's financial assets by $2.5 trillion, according to the first estimate from economic modeling. In the worst case scenarios, often used by regulators to check the financial health of companies and economies, the losses could soar to $24 trillion, or 17 percent of the world's assets, and wreck the global economy. The research also showed the financial sense in taking action to keep climate change under the 2°C (3.6°F) danger limit agreed by the world's...

National Geographic: Climate Change Is Moving the North Pole As ice melts and aquifers are drained, Earth's distribution of mass is changing-and with it the position of the planet's spin axis. The collapse of Antarctica's Larsen B Ice Shelf in 2002 is just one example of shrinking glaciers around the world, a process that is changing the planet's mass distribution.

2016-04-08 13:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: Pollen-covered honeybees (Apis mellifera) hang out in a pumpkin in Germany. But the pollen that bees carry isn't the kind that makes you sneeze every spring. When one tree loves another tree very much, it releases pollen to fertilize the ovules of that tree, plus whatever other trees happen to be around (you know how it goes).
