Bloomberg: Climate change may have fuelled the outbreak of the mosquito-borne Zika virus in Latin American and make it harder for developing countries to manage future epidemics, researchers said. Record-high temperatures last year in Brazil, Ecuador and other South America countries created ideal conditions for the mosquito that transmits Zika, which is suspected of causing birth defects, scientists said on conference call with reporters Friday (Feb 5). The researchers, who cautioned any link between...

National Geographic: Scientists have warned that even a few degrees rise in global temperatures can lead to increasingly severe storms. Now an international team of climate scientists has linked man-made climate change to historic flooding that hit the south of England in the winter of 20132014. Its the first time a peer-reviewed research paper has connected climate change to a specific flooding event. In an article published in Nature Climate Change, the team said that their climate model simulations showed that...

Mongabay: Mhortly after Pope Benedict XVIs surprise resignation in February 2013, Vatican insiders started making predictions. The next pope, many said, would be starkly different. He would hail from a continent where Catholicism was spreading the fastest. He would be African. He would be the Ghanaian Archbishop of the Cape Coast. He would be Peter Turkson.

Irish Times: If the weather this winter seems stormier than usual, that is because it is. It is every bit as bad as the storm-ridden winter of 2013-14, according to climate data from Met Éireann. And climate change can now be blamed for the stormy conditions we have had to endure, at least during 2013-14. New research out of Oxford shows the extreme rainfalls that flooded the UK during that winter were associated with global warming. Storm Henry, which cleared our shores this morning, counts as the eighth...
