New York Times: Climate change is not an event in your childrens future. It is bearing down upon you now. And there is nothing you or anyone else can do to prevent the hit. Over the next quarter-century, heat-related death rates will probably double in the southeastern states. Crop losses that used to happen only once every 20 years because of cataclysmic weather will occur five times as often. This is our future even if every person on the planet abruptly stopped burning coal, gas, oil, wood or anything...

RedOrbit: Threatened animal species could cope better with the effects of climate change if competition from other animals for the same habitats is restricted, according to new research by Durham University. The Durham team studied the impacts of climate on the Alpine Chamois, a species of mountain goat, and the effects that domestic sheep had on the goats movements. Observing the goats in the Italian Alps during the summer, the researchers found that Chamois tended to move to higher altitudes where it...
