Phys.Org: A recently published research paper co-authored by the University of Hertfordshire's Bruce Fitt, explores how modelling is being used to help guide planning of climate change adaption strategies to ensure future food security. The paper entitled Modelling impacts of climate change on arable crop diseases: progress, challenges and applications, has been published on Science Direct. It examines the work being done to combine climate change, crop growth and crop disease models. Jointly published...

Climate change increases the risk of war, scientists prove

Independent: Heatwaves, droughts and other severe weather events are increasing the risk of wars breaking out across the world, scientists say they have proved. The researchers carried out a statistical analysis of the outbreak of armed conflicts and climate-related natural disasters between 1980 and 2010. Their findings that nearly one in four conflicts in ethnically divided countries coincided with climatic calamities suggest that war should be added to the usual list of problems likely to be caused...

Climate change of heart

Inquirer: PRESIDENT DUTERTE is no climate change denier. In fact, in his very first Cabinet meeting, he declared: Climate change is here. We were warned several years ago. He proceeded to underscore the vulnerability of our country to the effects of climate change by referencing Supertyphoon Yolanda, echoing what he had voiced out during the campaign period. This ready acknowledgment of the reality of global warming, coupled with his proenvironment stances (albeit equivocal), has caused green groups...

Kitsap Sun: Jim Hayward slips on a hard hat and pops open an umbrella before stepping into a storm of angry gulls. Hayward, a seabird biologist based on Protection Island in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, is making his evening rounds through the largest gull nesting colony in the Puget Sound region. He's been monitoring this site since 1987, so he's used to the shrieking, the divebombing, the frequent splatterings of gull poop, and the pecking at his head, hands and feet. What he's not accustomed to is the...

Hey, someone mentioned climate change on stage at the Republican convention

Grist: Harold Hamm, a fracking mogul and GOP donor, ventured where few Republicans are willing to go on Wednesday night: He mentioned climate change on stage at the Republican National Convention. Climate change isnt our biggest problem, he said. Its Islamic terrorism. OK, not a rousing call to action, but at least theres the implication that climate is a problem. But, of course, the real focus of the speech was the need for more oil and gas drilling and how it could save us from the bad guys....
