ThinkProgress: Bernie Sanders is apparently fed up with Donald Trumps offhand and often outlandish claims. On Monday night, the Democratic candidate blasted Trumps claim that climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese. What an insight, the independent senator from Vermont told the audience at a New Hampshire rally. How brilliant can you be? The entire scientific community has concluded that climate change is real and causing major problems, and Trump believes that its a hoax created by the Chinese....

Climate change is altering Greenland ice sheet, accelerating sea level rise

ScienceDaily: The Greenland ice sheet has traditionally been pictured as a bit of a sponge for glacier meltwater, but new research has found it is rapidly losing the ability to buffer its contribution to rising sea levels, says a York University researcher. York U Professor William Colgan, a co-author on the study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, helped analyse data from three expeditions to the Greenland ice sheet in 2012, 2013 and 2015. The research was done in conjunction with lead researcher...

Huffington Post: A couple of years ago, my extended family gathered for Thanksgiving in Los Angeles. Looking across a splendid vista over the city, my 40-something nephew asked me, "Is it true that 40 years ago you couldn't see the hills on the other side?" Progress, I thought, that he really had no idea how smoggy it used to be. And that's a source of satisfaction for one who spent his career working to clean the air.

Independent: Britains biggest carbon polluters stand to lose billions of pounds from tough new climate targets and must come clean with their shareholders about the financial crisis that lies ahead, the countrys biggest pension funds have warned. A legally binding agreement struck by world leaders in Paris last month, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions dramatically, has huge implications for pensioners, who have billions of pounds invested in carbon-intensive companies.

Reuters: A new study by NASA and the National Science Foundation reveals that climate change is rapidly warming lakes around the world, according to findings in Geophysical Research Letters. The study, published last month, used temperature data taken via satellites and ground measurements from 235 lakes around the world and analyzed temperature changes over 25 years. "What we wanted to do was see how lakes were changing over the entire globe and look at what variations there were in the warming rates...
