CNN: Saying that climate change ranks among the world's most serious problems -- such as disease outbreaks, poverty, terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called on all nations to respond to "the greatest challenge of our generation." Kerry, speaking before college students in Jakarta, Indonesia, also criticized climate-change deniers, saying "a few loud interest groups" shouldn't be given the chance to misdirect the conversation. Kerry...

BusinessGreen: Labour leader Ed Miliband has made his boldest intervention to date in the long-running debate over the UK's climate policy, warning that floods have highlighted how the UK risks "sleepwalking into a national security crisis on climate change". In an interview with the Observer newspaper, conducted while he toured flood hit areas last week, Miliband argued that the country's political class urgently needs to rebuild the political consensus on climate policy that held sway in the run up to the...

Marietta Times: As our attention turns to the glitz, glamor, and excitement of the Winter Olympics, it's time to consider climate change-yes, climate change. The element of snow is required for many winter Olympic events, but there is much worrisome information about the growing shortage of snow throughout the world.

Indo-Asian News Service: Recent decades have likely been the wettest on record in the semi-arid Tibetan plateau, researchers say, warning that any further large-scale warming might lead to even greater rainfall in Tibet, the birthplace for Asia's great rivers. The wettest individual year reconstructed in 3,500 years in northeastern Tibet is 2010, say climate researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in an online paper in US academic journal Proceedings of the National Academy...

United Kingdom: On climate change, Ed Miliband must match his bold words with real action

Guardian: 'Either denial or dither on climate change will damage the country," says Ed Miliband, perhaps going a bit too heavy on the alliteration. The science, he reminds us, is clear, and he wants to somehow rebuild a national consensus. Time, then, for another "D" word: "decent" Tories and Liberal Democrats, he says, will be expected to muck in. He wants us to understand the true meaning of the recent floods and restore climate change to the prominence it enjoyed before the anti-climax of 2009's UN Copenhagen...
