Rappler: The worsening effects of climate change can cripple the economy of 4 Philippine cities, a study conducted by Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines and BPI Foundation found. The latest chapter of the Business Risk Assessment and the Management of Climate Impacts assessed the climate change preparedness of Tacloban City in Leyte, Naga City in Camarines Sur, Batangas City in Batangas, and Angeles City in Pampanga. The results were released on Tuesday, January 14. Based on 20 years of data from...

Global Effort to Combat Climate Change May Not End in Paris Next Year
2014-01-15 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: It's been more than four years since leaders tried and failed to craft a binding new global climate change treaty in Copenhagen, and as nations head toward a new deal in 2015, the aftershocks of that Danish summit continue to reverberate. From climate campaigners to high-level diplomats, those who are committed to fighting global warming say making a strong agreement in Paris next year that radically reduces levels of greenhouse gas emissions is critical. But, they argue, it's not the last step...
Why Don't Climate Change Deniers Publish Papers?

Slate: To me, one of the most fascinating aspects of climate change denial is how deniers essentially never publish in legitimate journals, but instead rely on talk shows, grossly error-laden OpEds, and hugely out-of-date claims (that were never right to start with). n 2012, National Science Board member James Lawrence Powell investigated peer-reviewed literature published about climate change, and found that out of 13,950 articles, 13,926 supported the reality of global warming. Despite a lot of sound...

Geo-engineering to combat climate change gets negative public response

United Press International: Geo-engineering -- deliberate manipulation of the environment to counter climate change -- does not find favor with most of the public, a British study found. That's the report of researchers from the University of Southampton, writing in the journal Nature Climate Change. Working with colleagues at Massey University in New Zealand, they undertook the first systematic large-scale evaluation of public reaction to climate engineering. Some scientists argue that climate engineering approaches...

Climate change threatens native eucalyptus species with extinction, Queensland study finds
2014-01-13 08:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: The future is looking grim for some species of Australian eucalyptus trees, as they feel the impact of more severe heatwaves, droughts and floods. Researchers from the University of Queensland looked at such effects on more than 100 eucalypt species, finding that some may be wiped out from increasingly extreme weather conditions. The report was modelled on two temperature scenarios. The first scenario was for an increase of one degree by 2055 and an increase of just over two degrees by 2085....
