Climate change may disrupt global food system in a decade

Sydney Morning Herald: The world is headed "down a dangerous path" with disruption of the food system possible within a decade as climate change undermines nations' ability to feed themselves, according to a senior World Bank official. Rising urban populations are contributing to expanded demand for meat, adding to nutrition shortages for the world's poor. Increased greenhouse gas emissions from livestock as well as land clearing will make farming more marginal in many regions, especially in developing nations, said...

Forbes: Have you ever thought that really addressing climate change would require more than just swapping our light bulbs for compact florescent bulbs and LEDs? It is just that sort of thinking that created the Aspen Institutes Accelerating Market-driven Partnerships program, the purpose of which is to build public-private partnerships, including both the corporate sector and nonprofits, to invest in projects and technologies that will protect the environment. Executive Director Robert Foster explains,...

Climate Change Impacts Already Inevitable, May Soon Be Irreversible

Newsweek: The effects of climate change will be severe, pervasive and irreversible within the next few decades if countries burn more than just one-quarter of the fossil fuel reserves already found, according to a major new U.N. draft report. Already, failure to heed earlier scientific advice regarding fossil fuel emissions have made large-scale climatic shifts inevitable, but a significant reduction of emissions now could still slow these changes, and buy the human race some time to adapt to an altered...

Science group says climate change worsening, dangerous

USA Today: Human influence on the planet's climate is clear and having "widespread and consequential impacts on human and natural systems," some of which may be irreversible, says a draft report out today from a United Nations science panel. "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia," the report says. "The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, and sea level has risen."...

A climate for change: America should not wait while world warms

Washington Post: FOR MORE than a century, scientists have understood the basic physics of the greenhouse effect. For decades, theyve realized humans can affect the climate by burning coal, oil and gas. But the countrys leaders remain divided on the need to curb greenhouse emissions, let alone how to do it. Among mainstream scientists, this paralysis is mind-boggling. There is now no doubt that the world is warming. In 2010, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration deemed this conclusion unequivocal,...
