Star-Ledger: Yes, we know it`s been brutally cold lately, but the catcalling from climate-change deniers has grown boring and predictable. Whenever the mercury dips below freezing, conservative commentators breathlessly trumpet the temperature dip as hard evidence of a global warming hoax. Can we do away with this bit of science-denying nonsense? Step 1 sadly requires a review of elementary school science: Weather and climate aren`t the same thing. Deniers happily confuse short-term weather with long-term...

The Week: Have you cut your energy consumption -- and greenhouse gas emissions -- by 40 percent in recent years? Didn't think so. Neither have I, or many of the other seven billion people on the planet. In a draft of their final report that was leaked last week to The New York Times, scientists on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have concluded that the world is not heeding their repeated warnings, and that mankind's heavy use of fossil fuels -- and emissions of carbon dioxide -- are increasing,...

CBC: Local conservation authorities say the impact of climate change is making it increasingly hard to balance their books, which are funded in part by tax dollars. Global warming is causing more extreme weather such as downpours, high winds and other events that result in floods and broken trees, said Chris Firth-Eagland, head of the Hamilton Conservation Authority (HCA). And its only going to get worse, he said. Its causing more flooding. Odd storms with more impact. Spikes, he said. Those...
