Climate change is divisive. Climate solutions are not

Christian Science Monitor: On the first Earth Day in 1970, environmental sentiment was proudly worn and fiercely optimistic. It tapped into a deep concern for our future shared by young and old; rich and poor; left, right, and center. Now, as the world faces an accelerating global climate crisis, political will has faded and divided. Grand bargains are far from view. And failure to find common ground and cut carbon pollution could tank the biosphere in ways we cant imagine. And yet, today, Im hopeful. Even though almost...

Guardian: Climate scientists are canaries in the coalmine - highly attuned to sense danger before we blunder into it. For decades, various researchers have issued calamitous warnings about climate change. But was there a moment when science collectively, definitively, dropped off the perch? During the 1990s, scientists were still debating the most basic assertions of climate change science. Was the world indeed warming? Consensus was growing, but slowly and many scientists remained undecided. Two bold...

Delays on climate change have cost $8 trillion

New Scientist: TIME is money, goes the saying. When it comes to climate change, two years of inaction has cost the world $8 trillion. A report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), published Monday, looks at the cost of converting to green electricity in order to keep global warming below 2 °C. The agency found that it will cost $44 trillion more than keeping the current mix, where most electricity comes from fossil fuels. The extra money will go on building wind and solar power stations, efficient grids,...

Blue and Green: Climate change is already acting as a catalyst for conflict and poses a serious risk to security, according to a strongly worded call for action from a panel of former American generals and admirals. The Centre for Naval Analysis Corporations (CNA) Military Advisory Board report concludes that the impacts of climate change are increasing instability around the world, even in the Arctic. It suggests that droughts caused by warming in the Middle East and Africa are leading to conflicts over...
