First ministers' climate change meeting a dud: Walkom

Toronto Star: In practical terms, the first ministers meeting on climate change was a dud. Canada is still not on the road to reach the carbon reduction targets called for by last years Paris climate summit. It is not even on the road to meet the far less ambitious targets set out by Canadas former Conservative government. When all of the rhetoric is stripped away, Thursdays Vancouver Declaration, the somewhat grandiose document summing up the one-day session, demonstrates only that any fault lines...

Climate change could cause 500000 more deaths in 2050

Toronto Star: Food scarcity and malnutrition, triggered by climate change, could lead to half a million extra deaths in 2050, grim new research indicates. The deaths, say researchers in England and the United States, could occur as a result of changes in diets and bodyweight from decreased crop productivity. The researchers found that fewer fruits and vegetables would be available as a result of climatic changes. That decrease will increase rates of heart diseases, strokes and cancer, they found. Three-quarters...

Climate Change Challenged While Reported Threat On Agriculture Released

Inquisitr: The "climate" around the climate change debate has, for a long time, been touted as polarized among party lines. While the debate has both supporters and those who deny the existence of climate change, scientists have had to invest a lot of time and energy in order to prove that it is a topic that needs to be taken seriously. For instance, just recently The Lancet produced a climate change report led by Dr. Marco Springmann, who provides a country-by-country breakdown of its impact on food sources,...

Premiers' climate change meeting long on principles, short on specifics

Globe and Mail: Justin Trudeau handled Canadas internal climate-change talks with premiers like those international summits on the same issue: He took the half-loaf of vague principles that he could get and claimed progress, noting that there is an agreement to keep trying for more. The difference is that the Prime Minister has more power to use this deal to get what he wants next time than any host of United Nations talks ever did. No, Mr. Trudeau didnt get premiers to sign on to a specific national carbon...

Impact of Climate Change on Food Production Could Cause over 500,000 Extra Deaths in 2050

Blue and Green: Climate change could kill more than 500,000 adults in 2050 worldwide due to changes in diets and bodyweight from reduced crop productivity, according to new estimates from the Oxford Martin Future of Food Programme. The research, published today in The Lancet, is the strongest evidence yet that climate change could have damaging consequences for food production and health worldwide. The modelling study, led by Dr Marco Springmann from the Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Food at the University...
