Blue and Green: World hunger could be prolonged for decades because our global food system is woefully unprepared for the impacts of climate change, an Oxfam report has warned. The paper, titled Hot and Hungry: How to stop climate change derailing the fight against hunger, says that rising temperatures, extreme weather and changing rainfall patterns caused by climate change are already affecting crop yields across the world. Oxfam lists examples such as the devastating typhoon that hit the Philippines in...

Arizona State University: Results from a new study co-authored by Netra Chhetri, a faculty member at the Consortium for Science, Policy & Outcomes at Arizona State University, show global warming of only 2 degrees Celsius will be detrimental to three essential food crops in temperate and tropical regions. And beginning in the 2030s, yields from those crops will start to decline significantly. "This study has been able to quantify the likely impacts of differing degrees of climate change on yields, by crop and by region,'...

In Ranchers Vs. Weeds, Climate Change Gives Weeds An Edge

National Public Radio: Most climate models a bleak picture of the Great Plains a century from now as a hot region besieged by heavy rainstorms and flooding. And new studies suggest that climate change may bring farmers another headache: more invasive plants. Ask most Midwestern and Rocky Mountain ranchers about the weeds they pull their hair out over and be prepared for . There's cheat grass in Nebraska, red brome in Utah and yellow star thistle in California. And they can't count on cattle to gobble them up. Depending...

Evidence for human-induced climate change grows

Independent: No single weather event can prove or disprove climate change, but in its review of 2013 the worlds leading meteorological authority suggests that many of last years weather extremes are likely to have been heavily influenced by rising global temperatures. In some ways 2013 was a typical year for the global weather. Heatwaves, cold snaps, violent storms, droughts and floods all played their part in shaping 2013 as they do every year but there is growing evidence that human activities are...
