Burlington Free Press: Republican presidential candidate John Kasich drew hundreds of people to Colchester High School on Saturday morning, and he might have swayed a few Democrats. A key moment came at the end of Kasich's leisurely town hall, when Art Rovner of South Burlington stood to ask the final question. "Given that I'm a scientist, I believe in science, what do you think about the science of climate change?" Rovner asked. "I know that human beings affect the climate," Kasich said.

Arizona Daily Star: The San Pedro study comes as the Legislature is considering two bills that would either lift, or make it easier for municipalities in Cochise County to lift, requirements that new developments prove they have an adequate water supply for 100 years to start building. As the law now stands, any county can require that all new developments prove an adequate supply. Cochise and Yuma counties are the only ones to have adopted such requirements. Pima County falls under a different state requirement...

Climate change will lead to deformed and virus-hit coral reefs
2016-02-19 20:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Coral will become deformed and increasingly fall victim to outbreaks of herpes-like viruses as humans continue to pump carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, according to two new studies. Combined, the two effects suggest coral reefs will have trouble recovering from bleaching events, like the the world is currently experiencing. When carbon dioxide is emitted from factories, cars and power plants, about 30% of it is absorbed by the ocean. As that happens, the acidity of the oceans increases,...
