Hill: Climate change could get in the way of future Olympic Winter Games, a new study finds. If the globe continues to warm at its current rate -- and measures aren't taken to mitigate climate change -- the report concludes that only six out of the last 19 locations that hosted the winter games will be cold enough to hold them by the end of the century. The report was conducted by the University of Waterloo and Austria's Management Center at Innsbruck. "It is clear that the cultural legacy of...

Any links between climate change and flooding are "highly complex' and experts have struggled to make a case for the theory, a study has said, whereas human activity such as building on floodplains is known to make flooding worse. The Prime Minister told MPs in the...

Sun-Sentinel: I am contemplating my house's frozen pipes, marveling that the temperature in the kitchen has inched up to 44 degrees and feeling that I am blessed. I have electricity. I have a working space heater. We have just gone through a remarkable period where every state in the union had freezing temperatures, including Hawaii. (OK, it was definitely not statewide, but freezing temperatures were recorded above the balmy breezes.) So many people have been through such incredible challenges weatherwise...

CleanTechnica: Former U.S. vice-president Al Gore pulled no punches about geoengineering in a phone conference with reporters on Wednesday. He was apparently reacting to a suggestion in a leaked draft summary of the forthcoming climate solutions section of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change fifth climate assessment report. The definitive study, to be released in Germany in April, suggests that before 2100, the world`s national governments may have to use massive geoengineering programs such as...
