NewsDay: Nhekairo said this yesterday to legislators who were attending a Southern African Development Community parliamentarians climate change workshop in Harare. Several climate studies suggest that water resources in the country are expected to dwindle and the evergreen forests of the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe can be reduced to seasonal forests, said Nhekairo.

RedOrbit: In pushing for his green agenda, President Barack Obama has repeatedly cited last years massive drought, which cost the US $35 billion, as evidence of climate change. However, a new report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) found that a bizarre confluence of natural variations was responsible for the precipitous drop in rainfall levels across the United States last summer. "This is one of those events that comes along once every couple hundreds of years," lead...

World climate change goal at risk as emissions surge-UN

Reuters: A global goal for limiting climate change is slipping out of reach and governments may have to find ways to artificially suck greenhouse gases from the air if they fail to make deep cuts in rising emissions by 2030, a draft U.N. report said. A 25-page draft summary, by the U.N. panel of climate experts and due for publication in 2014, said emissions of heat-trapping gases rose to record levels in the decade to 2010, led by Asian industrial growth. The surge is jeopardising a U.N. goal, set...

Bloomberg: The Earths northern polar region will be almost ice-free in the warmest months by 2050, sooner than previously estimated, according to a study by two federal government scientists who work on climate change. The researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration used three separate methods to predict the sea- ice trends in the Arctic Ocean, and their estimates for 2020 to 2060 forecast elimination of most ice during the Northern Hemispheres warmest months, according to a statement....
