Times of India: Plants make food from carbon dioxide in the air, using energy from sunlight. So, if carbon dioxide levels in the air are going up due to climate change, plants should be making more food, right? Wrong, says a new study published last week in the science journal Nature. According to the study conducted by a team of US, Australian and Japanese scientists, carbon dioxide emissions are slowly making the world's staple food crops less nutritious. Wheat, maize, soybeans and rice will see their levels...

Globe and Mail: There is no scientific silver bullet that will save the world from the effects of climate change, a new study says. Over the past two years, a team of Canadian and American researchers has evaluated the potential for so-called geoengineering to address global warming. They looked at approaches already widely in place such as forest and soil management, as well as more controversial ideas such as ocean fertilization and solar radiation management. What they found is that none of these - or...

Sydney Morning Herald: Prime Minister Tony Abbott has downplayed the likelihood of climate change being discussed at a G20 leaders' summit hosted by Australia, suggesting it does not fit the meeting's economic focus. Asked about pressure from the US and Europe for climate to be included on the agenda for the November meeting in Brisbane, Mr Abbott said there were other international meetings that were more appropriate for discussing the issue.

Urban Milwaukee: Comedian John Oliver recently did a hilarious piece on the issue of global climate change, culminating in a statistically representative debate on the issue, with 97 scientists arguing that climate change is occurring and 3 scientists disputing this who got drowned out by the throng. His point was that climate change was a fact on which there was an overwhelming scientific consensus, yet the media continues to treat this as a belief about which scientists disagree. Oliver had fun ridiculing...
