ClimateWire: Scientific consensus that humans cause climate change is akin to the scientific consensus that smoking causes cancer, says a report released today by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The report, called "What We Know," marks the kickoff of a new AAAS initiative to increase dialogue on the risks of climate change. "Opinion polls show that more than half of the American public still think that there is a debate over whether climate change is happening or whether it is human-caused,"...

Blue and Green: Climate change will hit crop yields in temperate and tropical regions earlier than first thought, a new study has found. The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, warns that global warming of only 2C is likely to reduce yields of staple crops as early as the 2030s. Researchers from the University of Leeds analysed the results of 1,700 published studies of the impact that climate change will have on the yields of rice, maize and wheat. In 2007, a report from the Intergovernmental...

Nature World: Wildflowers growing in the Rocky Mountains have shifted their bloom pattern to cope with climate change, according to a new study based on data from two million flowers collected over a four decade period. The study, conducted by David Inouye from the University of Maryland and colleagues, found that the bloom season has extended; from May to early September a few decades back to late April to late September now. The change in bloom season can have a negative impact on insects and birds that depend...

The second of three publications by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, due to be made public at the end of this month, is the most comprehensive investigation into the impact of climate change ever undertaken. A draft of the final version seen by the Independent says...
