iScience Times: The study analyzed the financial resources of what Brulle identifes as 91 "climate change counter-movement" organizations in the U.S. by using data from the Internal Revenue Service and reports of funding to the 91 groups from 140 different foundations. Brulle found that from 2003 to 2010, the 91 climate change counter-movement groups received more than $900 million, mostly from conservative foundations, but only $64 million of the funding came from identifiable sources.

DEP's climate change plan doesn't set goal to reduce emissions

National Public Radio: A draft update of Pennsylvania`s Climate Change Action Plan lacks a specific target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The state`s previous Action Plan--published by the Department of Environmental Protection in 2009-- set an emissions reduction target of 30 percent by the year 2020. According to the DEP, there is no target this time because state law does not require one. The new plan is the second in a pair of legally-mandated reports about climate change. As StateImpact Pennsylvania...

Design and Trend: Researchers at the University of Utah said that lake, known as "perennial firn aquifer," remains liquid year-round despite the otherwise frozen landscape around it, according to English.chosun.com. "Large amounts of snow fall on the surface late in the summer and quickly insulates the water from the subfreezing air temperatures above, allowing the water to persist all year long," said Rick Forster, lead author and professor of geography at the University of Utah. The 43,500 sq.km body of water...

ClimateWire: After a sudden thunderstorm this fall, Paul Valdon sat in a line of cars for 45 minutes near a bridge over a river because of gushing water. People got out of their vehicles and shouted in frustration as the river engulfed the concrete structure, preventing them from crossing the waterway in the northeast part of the island. His friend in a nearby car tried to find an alternative way through the mountains, but got stuck again when a landslide blocked that road, as well. Valdon missed an important...

Capital Press: New report from an OSU scientist says reducing cattle and other ruminant herds is the most effective way to reduce methane gas emissions and ease climate change. A new climate change study issued by an Oregon State University professor and others concludes the best way to reduce methane gas emissions is to reduce cattle, sheep and other ruminant herds worldwide. The conclusion isnt likely to be favored by industry groups, but OSU forestry Professor William Ripple and co-authors said herd reduction...
