Historical Analysis of Climate Change Supports Man-Made Warming 99.9% Certainty
2014-04-11 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: New historical climate analysis by a McGill University researcher indicates that climate change in the industrial era is man-made with "greater than 99.9 percent" certainty. Writing in the journal Climate Dynamics, McGill physicist Shaun Lovejoy reports his analysis of temperature data since the year 1500, concluding that global warming over the last century is not a result of natural long-term variations in temperature, but instead an anthropogenic effect. "This study will be a blow to any...

At-Risk Cities Hold Solutions to Climate Change, UN Report Finds

A draft report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), obtained...

On Thursday, following years of meetings and scientific reviews, the Obama administration published a 101-page strategy that aims to help meet the country`s shifting fire threats. The National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy divides the nation according to fire risks, and profiles the communities...

IPCC report says climate change is bad news for crops

Ars Technica: When it comes to projections of future global warming, most people are more interested in concrete impacts than abstract figures like average global temperature. That sort of information is contained in the second section of the latest IPCC report, which was just recently released. Among the things potentially impacted by climate change, the agricultural sector is of obvious relevance to those of us who eat food. (That includes you, Soylent fans.) Given that population growth and economic progress...
