Inquisitr: A new study on climate change gave a dire prediction for the costs of relocation, especially in Florida, where sea rise threatens a large part of the state. Some people are already relocating; more, maybe millions, will likely have to join them. The most recent study is novel because it combines estimates for population growth with projected sea rise levels from climate science. In the worst case scenario, which the researchers put at six feet of sea rise, roughly 13 million people will be at...

Shell worries about climate change but decides continue making it worse

Grist: Shell Oil released its 2015 annual review last week, and the most surprising thing in it may be how concerned the company is with climate change. It`s hardly what you`d expect from Big Oil, and yet the words "climate change" occur 15 times in the 228 page report. While this may seem minor, it`s a hell of a lot more than climate change is discussed by most other oil monsters (Looking at you, Exxon). Shell, unlike many oil giants, actively acknowledges and even embraces climate action - at least, on...

Independent: A key Paris climate treaty commitment to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions will be enshrined in UK law, the Government has said. Energy minister Andrea Leadsom told MPs that the Government wanted to capture the momentum of Paris and would seek to commit future governments to the pledge, part of the treaty which was signed by 200 countries in December. The commitment was secured following lobbying by the former Labour leader and Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband, who had been seeking...
Climate change redistributes global water resources

PhysOrg: Analysis of more than 40 years of water samples archived at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF) in New Hampshire tells a vivid tale of how the sources of precipitation have changed. Over the years, there has been a dramatic increase, especially during the winter, of the amount of water that originated far to the north. "In the later years, we saw more water derived from evaporation of the Arctic and the North Atlantic oceans," said Tamir Puntsag, a graduate student at the SUNY College...

EcoWatch: Despite having had a heart transplant three years before, Lonnie Thompson ascended to 22,000 feet and braved -35 degree F temperatures on a mountain peak in far western China in 2015 to do his job as an ice-core paleoclimatologist. The renowned professor from the Ohio State University has extracted and examined ice cores from around the world since 1974. He testified before the U.S. Senate about global warming in 1992, detailing the havoc climate change is wreaking on the planet. The testimony came...
