Journal Sentinel: Dealing with climate change no longer means simply cutting greenhouse gas emissions, although that's still a necessary element of any coherent strategy. It also means developing technology with the potential to remove those emissions from the atmosphere and finding ways to cope with the effects of climate change, such as rising seas and more severe weather events. These are issues for world governments, and world leaders need to reach a consensus on a multipronged approach that can do all of the...
On climate change, expect the worse

USA Today: For far too long, our national debate about climate change has been about "yes or no:" Is human-caused climate change real? That debate should now end. Based on well-established evidence, about 97% of climate scientists have concluded that human-caused climate change is happening. If 97 of 100 doctors told you that your child's health was at serious risk without surgery, how long would you wait for the other three to get on board? The next debate is about how we should respond. Those decisions should...

Motherboard: That climate science relies too heavily on models is one of the last arguments that climate change deniers cling tomany of them argue that proving climate change is manmade is impossible. But one researcher says hes basically just done the opposite: he used statistics, actual observed data, and, most importantly, no computer models at all to prove that climate change has not been a natural phenomenon. Theres a difference between trying to prove a theory is correct and trying to prove something...

Climate Change Drying Out Southwest Now
2014-04-11 23:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: Two new studies confirm that warming-driven climate change is already drying the U.S. Southwest and other parts of the globe. More worrisome, nearly a third of the world`s land faces drying from rising greenhouse gases - including two of the world`s greatest agricultural centers, "the U.S. Great Plains and a swath of southeastern China." These studies add fuel to the growing bonfire of concerns about climate change and food security. As I wrote in the article on Dust-Bowlification I did for the...

Climate change: small is also beautiful

Guardian: It is easy to feel powerless in the face of global warming. Even the phrase itself is impersonal, while the science behind it is dense and its long-term implications still contentious. Now the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is meeting in Berlin this weekend to present its draft proposals for mitigating the impact of warming, has woken up to the need to get both more specific and more positive. Big targets on emission reductions still matter, but there are lots of smaller ones too,...
