Voice of Russia: As the phenomenon of climate change is now a scientific fact, some think of the looming dangers and others -- of benefits. Global warming has the potential to change the world's economic geography that has been organized according to a climate that prevailed since the Middle Ages. With warmer temperatures, countries that are cold right now could see very real benefits from a few extra degrees. Farmers in northern countries will certainly enjoy longer cropping seasons. Moreover, higher lows will...

Guardian: Almost 500 laws to tackle climate change have been passed in countries which account for nine-tenths of global emissions, a study has found. Much of the action in the past year has been taken in emerging economies, including China and Mexico, while "flagship legislation" has been passed in eight countries, most of them developing nations such as Bolivia, El Salvador and Mozambique. A further 19 countries are considered to have made progress in 2013 on climate laws in the latest Global Legislators...

Sydney Morning Herald: To get an inkling of how serious the Abbott government is likely to take today's release of the final report on Australia's carbon emissions reduction goals by the Climate Change Authority, try finding any reference to the report - or the authority itself - on the Department of Environment website. As with the draft report released last November, the independent authority has concluded Australia's current goal of cutting emissions by 5 per cent on 2000 levels by 2020 is inadequate. Rather,...

Climate Change May Lead to Greater Severity in Wheat Crop Disease
2014-02-26 22:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Climate change may lead to an increased risk in severity of wheat crop diseases in the next two decades, according to a new study. Scientists from University of Hertfordshire led the research, which was conducted in China to establish whether there is a link between weather and the severity of epidemics of fusarium ear blight on the wheat crops there. When epidemics of fusarium ear blight are big enough, upwards of 60 percent of a wheat crop can be lost to the disease. The blight also produces...
