Daily Mail: AS CLIMATE change issues take centre stage on the world agenda, with top leaders recently signing a treaty to help address the problem, residents of Mumbeji in Kabompo district in North -Western Province have taken steps to adapt. A right move indeed, as research indicates that those living in rural areas, and depending mainly on natural resources such as rivers and forests will be the most affected when the resources begin to dry. North-Western Province is probably the highest producer of...

Climate change driving species to Earth's poles faster than predicted, scientists say

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Warming temperatures are pushing land and sea creatures closer to the north and south poles and to cooler altitudes at rates faster than first predicted, scientists say. Scientists from 40 countries are gathering in Hobart for a four-day conference about how climate change is forcing species to move, including humans. Professor Camille Parmesan from Plymouth University in the UK said around the world animals and plants were moving towards the Earth's poles, and it is happening faster than scientists...

Nature World: Forests help mitigate climate change by storing carbon that would otherwise end up in the atmosphere. It appears, however, that more than 250 years of forest management in Europe has had the opposite effect. "The current assumption is that all forest management and all forests contribute to climate mitigation," Dr. Kim Naudts, a postdoctoral ecologist at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany, said in a statement. "We cannot say that is true, at least for Europe." Between...

NewsDay: UNCHECKED climate change impacts are likely going to derail planned development outcomes in many developing countries, thereby, posing negative challenges for the resilience of many livelihoods together with the underlying eco-systems. Time for climate change adaptations and mitigation that does not have space for resilience amounts to null initiatives and planning own-goals. Planning, not just planning in general, but development-oriented planning, play vital roles in addressing human institutional...

Washington Times: The Pentagon is ordering the top brass to incorporate climate change into virtually everything they do, from testing weapons to training troops to war planning to joint exercises with allies. A new directive`s theme: The U.S. Armed Forces must show "resilience" and beat back the threat based on "actionable science." It says the military will not be able to maintain effectiveness unless the directive is followed. It orders the establishment of a new layer of bureaucracy -- a wide array of "climate...
