The science _for_ climate change only feeds the denial: how do you beat that?

Conversation: As the scientific consensus for climate change has strengthened over the past decade, the arguments against the science of climate change have been on the increase. Thats the surprise finding of a study, published in the journal Global Environmental Change last month, which analysed and identified the key themes in more than 16,000 publications about climate change by conservative organisations. Conservative think-tanks are organisations that oppose policies, such as regulation of pollution...
If Mike Bloomberg really cares about climate change, he won't run for president

Grist: Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg is thinking about running for president as a third-party candidate. If he does, he will destroy his own legacy and irreparably damage the causes he supposedly cares most about, such as gun control and fighting climate change. The New York Times reported on Saturday, Michael R. Bloomberg has instructed advisers to draw up plans for a potential independent campaign in this years presidential race. His advisers and associates said he was galled by Donald...

Hare today, food tomorrow: Snowshoe hares face climate change

Grist: The snowshoe hare has a coat for every occasion. Well, actually, just two coats for two occasions: a white one for winter and a brown one for summer. This special molting pattern helps the unassuming furballs blend into the landscape and stay out of the crosshairs of bobcats, foxes, and owls. But when the final snow melts earlier and earlier in the spring thanks to climate change, the hare`s natural molting pattern is off, leading to "camouflage mismatch." And no, "camouflage mismatch" isn`t...
The surprising way that climate change could worsen East Coast blizzards

Washington Post: As the East Coast digs out from the enormous snowfalls of Winter Storm Jonas, a prominent climate scientist has drawn a provocative connection between the storm, warm ocean temperatures off the U.S. and a slowdown of ocean circulation in the North Atlantic that may also be behind a much discussed cold blob to the southeast of Greenland. People have thought, you get this cold blob, and its going to maybe affect Britain, says Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research,...

Is Climate Change Causing The Recent Streak Of Record-Setting Warm Years?
2016-01-25 19:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Popular Science: Last year was the warmest on record. Red and orange show areas that were above the average temperature last year. Blue areas show places where temperatures were cooler than average. We're on a roll. 2015 was the hottest year on record, just like 2014 was the hottest year on record, and before that, 2012 was the hottest year on record... In fact, 15 of the 16 hottest years on record have happened in the last 15 years. What are the odds? In a paper released in Scientific Reports today, researchers...
