Nature World News: As fish go toward the Earth's poles as a result of climate change, fishermen in poorer countries will disproportionately feel the impact -- putting a strain on worldwide wealth resources, says a new study. The report from researchers at Rutgers, Princeton, Yale and Arizona State University was recently published in the journal Nature Climate Change. It includes findings that warming temperatures will disperse fish away from the equator, bringing about a "mass redistribution of wealth." The...

But he might equally have been talking about gardening and climate change, where no one seems to know for sure what to expect, or how to prepare for it. So I was intrigued to see a report of a project by the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh attempting to answer that question. Edinburgh and its three regional outposts...

Climate Home: Food aid will run out for over 10 million Ethiopians by May, according to aid agencies, which fear a repeat of the horrendous famines of the 1970s and 80s. Chronic drought has sapped vast tracts of the north, central and eastern highlands, hitting crops and livestock as rain patterns have shifted. More than eight in ten people depend on rain-fed agriculture, according to Oxfam. Intensified by El Nino, the dry spell brings into sharp relief the vulnerability of the continent to a changing climate....
