Galaxy: Extreme weather events like floods, heat waves and droughts can devastate communities and populations worldwide. Recent scientific advances have enabled researchers to confidently say that the increased intensity and frequency of some, but not all, of these extreme weather events is influenced by human-induced climate change, according to an international National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine report released on March 11. "In the past, many scientists have been cautious of attributing...

Climate change may boost toxic algae in Pacific: study
2016-03-13 15:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CTV: A recently published study suggests climate change may encourage longer and more frequent blooms of toxic algae along Canada's Pacific coast. The research on the presence of algae toxins in marine mammals along the Alaska coastline holds a warning for British Columbia, said study author Kathi Lefebvre. "It's the same coastline," said Lefebvre, a biologist with the U.S.-based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "Those regions are at risk in the same way as were Alaska and Washington."...

Women and climate change: Vulnerable, but not helpless

Rappler: The threat of climate change is not gender neutral. Women and their children will have to suffer a disproportionate amount of the impacts of the changing climate. This disproportionality is due to the systemic inequality between men and women in society which, with its historical underpinnings, render women at a disadvantage. It has unfavorable impacts on the independence and decision-making power of women and affects them economically, politically, and socially, among others. This in turn constrains...

Christian Science Monitor: The links between some extreme weather events and climate change are becoming easier to measure, say scientists. A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NAS) is the first definitive ranking of what events can be attributed to climate change," said University of Georgia scientist J. Marshall Shepherd, one of the committee members who contributed to the report. The highly regarded NAS "brings a gold standard to the assessment of the science," he added....

Inquisitr: Linking extreme weather events to change is becoming easier for scientists. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NAS) has compiled a list of extreme weather events which can be linked to climate change. University of Georgia scientist J. Marshall Shepherd said this list is "the first definitive ranking of what events can be attributed to climate change." Doctor David Titley, the head of the committee that wrote the NAS list commented further on the link between climate change...
