Slow-down in climate change never happened, says major review

Independent: A major review of global temperatures by a leading US Government agency has failed to find support for the view that global warming has slowed down since 1998, as many climate sceptics have repeatedly claimed over the past two decades. The prestigious US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has re-evaluated its surface temperature records over land and sea and concluded that the rate of global warming has been just as fast at the start of this century as it was at the end...

Climate Change Poses a Brewing Problem for Tea
2015-06-04 18:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: A myth ties the origins of tea to an errant gust of wind that blew tea leaves into a Chinese emperor's hot water more than 4,700 years ago. Since that lucky first brewing, tea has become the second most popular beverage in the world (behind water, of course). The industry has grown into a $20 billion behemoth that sells everything from pedestrian PG Tips to luxurious Yunnan golden tips. Yet that industry and the farmers that rely on it for their livelihoods could be in hot water as the climate...

Peak Sand, Climate Change, And The Coastal Property Bubble

ThinkProgress: Taxpayers are propping up wildly-inflated coastal property values. At some point, we`ll stop doing that, and coastal property values will crash. Unless they have already crashed because Miami gets hit by its equivalent of Superstorm Sandy. Or because the smart money pulls out of coastal real estate ahead of time after realizing that our climate inaction has made the crash inevitable - due to a combination of faster-than-expected sea level rise and ever-worsening storm surges. The main prop...

How harm climate change could explode exponentially down the road

Week Magazine: About two years ago there was a a political flap about something called "climate sensitivity." Roughly speaking, this is how much global temperature will increase given a certain quantity of greenhouse gas emissions. A low sensitivity means it takes relatively more emissions to increase temperatures, a high sensitivity means the opposite. Back then, there was a lot of talk about the global warming "pause," since the rise in atmospheric temperatures seemed to have slowed, suggesting that sensitivity...
