Huffington Post: The Opening Ceremony at the Rio Olympics Friday evening was filled with celebrations of Brazilian culture and unity. But for a few brief moments, the message was polarizing and crystal clear: The world must do whatever it can to stop climate change. "The heat is melting the ice cap,' a voice said. "It's disappearing very quickly.' An accompanying segment showed effects of the melting polar ice cap and subsequent rising sea level on places that include Amsterdam, Dubai, Lagos, Shanghai, Florida...

Even if, like me, you're neither young nor Catholic, it is nevertheless an event with interesting ramifications for Canada and our politics. World Youth Day happens every few years, and this was the first edition since the Pope released his encyclical Laudato Si' in 2015, which focused on environmental and ecological issues. It is a bold document:...

London Free Press: In the middle of a hot summer, I think about the impact of climate change on birds. Bird scientists have been more focused on this issue over the past decade. Results range from sobering to intriguing. One of the largest recent studies was Audubon's Birds and Climate Change Report. Using 30 years of citizen science data, future ranges of 588 North American birds were plotted. Various birds' ranges are expected to expand, shrink, or shift. As an example, by 2050 the hermit thrush -- a bird...

Michigan Radio: The first six months of this year were the warmest on record. This week, we heard about a deadly anthrax outbreak in Russia that's thought to be the result of permafrost thawing. A new survey finds that fewer Americans doubt that climate change is happening, but it continues to be a highly polarizing issue. This is the latest survey in the series of National Surveys on Energy and Environment conducted by Muhlenberg College and the University of Michigan. Researchers asked a random sample of...
