Study: Climate change may be costing lives in US

CBS: New research suggests that U.S. climate change, and the unpredictable temperature swings it can bring, may boost death rates in seniors. "Temperature variability emerges as a key feature in the potential impacts of climate change. The take-home message: Unusual temperature is bad for people's health," said study author Liuhua Shi, a graduate student in the department of environmental health at Harvard's School of Public Health in Boston. Scientists have long been debating the health effects of...
Treat climate change as seriously as national security: Report

Reuters: Governments should treat climate change as seriously as threats to national security or public health, partly by focusing more on the worst scenarios of rising temperatures, an international report said on Monday. Crop failures, extreme heat waves or high rates of sea level rise could be so harmful that governments should examine even small chances of the most severe impacts, according to the study by about 60 experts from 11 nations. "The risks of climate change should be assessed in the same...

Climate change caused Russian flood

Agence France-Presse: Scientists presented rare evidence on Monday linking climate change to a specific weather disaster: flooding that killed more than 170 people in Russia in 2012. Increasingly, global warming is invoked by climate campaigners when the world is hit by a new drought, tropical storm or heatwave. But scientists are generally cautious about blaming climate change for a given event, which may simply have been the result of natural variability. In a study published in the journal Nature Geoscience, researchers...

Climate change brings ill winds for airline industry
2015-07-14 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Global warming may already be taking its toll of air miles. As jet planes burn fuel and release carbon dioxide, the atmosphere warms and causes head winds to build up. Tail winds do too, but round trip journey times are nevertheless creeping up - and so are fuel costs. A team of US scientists say the cumulative effect of the longer flight times that they think may have resulted from climate variation would have added millions of dollars to airlines costs, and perhaps a billion gallons of extra...

Curb climate change or lose bumblebees, blueberries, tomatoes

Mongabay: According to a comprehensive new study published in the journal Science, bumblebees are particularly vulnerable to climate change disruptions. Historical bumblebee ranges have shrunk on their extreme southern edge, while species to the north fail to adapt with any significant migration into cooler regions. Climate change appears to contribute, distinctively, and consistently, to range compression of bumblebee species across both North America and Europe, the authors state. The five-year-long...
