PhysOrg: The politically expedient way to mitigate climate change is essentially no way at all, according to a comprehensive new study by University of Chicago climatologist Raymond Pierrehumbert. Among the climate pollutants humans put into the atmosphere in significant quantities, the effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the longest-lived, with effects on climate that extend thousands of years after emissions cease. But finding the political consensus to act on reducing CO2 emissions has been nearly impossible....

Climate change prompting Arctic birds to breed early

Indo-Asian News Service: Earlier spring seasons and snow-melt brought about by climate change are causing migratory birds that breed in the Arctic Alaska to breed sooner, says a study. "It seems clear that the timing of the snow melt in the Arctic Alaska is the most important mechanism driving the earlier and earlier breeding dates we observed in the Arctic," said Joe Liebezeit from Audubon Society of Portland in the US. Researchers looked in nearly 2,500 nests of four shorebird species semi-palmated sandpiper, red phalarope,...

Labor's environment spokesman Mark Butler said the government had mounted a "hysterical" and "mendacious" campaign against measures to curb emissions. The lower house is considering 11 related bills - which also abolish the Climate Change Authority and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation - simultaneously. The government will limit debate on...

How climate change will choke our cities with smog

Motherboard: Global warming doesn't just mean rising seas, soaring temperatures, and prolonged droughts. It means a miasma of polluted air, hovering over a city near you. Air pollution and climate change have always been linked--the greenhouse gases frying the globe are emitted from power plants and cars alongside more traditionally toxic pollutants--but a new study confirms some surprising new evidence that a hotter planet will almost certainly be a smoggier one. Climate change is beginning to seriously impact...

Bloomberg: economic risks climate change impossible to ignore

Blue and Green: A new report has warned that businesses and economies stand to lose billions if inaction on climate change continues. Despite the stark warning, it argues that the most severe risks can be avoided through early investment. The Risky Business Project launched in 2013 and focuses on quantifying and publishing the economic risks from the impact of climate change. The new report looks at how the US will be affected at a local and national level. Former New York City mayor and UN envoy for cities...
