Business Times: Nearly one-fifth of the carbon dioxide emissions caused by humans can be traced back to wildfires, slash-and-burn agriculture and the burning of wood waste to produce power, a Stanford University report found. While biomass burning has long been considered a culprit of climate change, the new research is the first to comprehensively quantify that threat -- and the number suggests the risks may be higher than previously thought.

Nature World: While climate change is usually associated with warming temperatures, new research indicates that the planet will experience heat waves as well as cold snaps in the coming years. About 97 percent of scientists, at this point, agree that the temperature of the planet is rising because of human-related activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. But until now, they didn't know the degree of variability surrounding that increase - meaning the difference between hot and cold...

"Nuisance flooding is just that. It's a pain in the you-know-where. It's just enough flooding to cause a problem," said Insta-Weather PLUS meteorologist...
