WSJ: Climate change will complicate the Philippines efforts to become self-sufficient in rice, the countrys economic planning secretary said Monday. Arsenio Balisacan said preliminary data showed that 74% of the estimated damage from natural disasters in the country last year came in the farm sector, primarily affecting rice.

Sydney Morning Herald: Australia's standing as the home among the gumtrees could be challenged, with increased climate stress causing extensive change to Australia's eucalypt ecosystems. A study by the National Environmental Research Program's Environmental Decisions Hub has found that climate stress on eucalypts will mean many of Australia's 750 species will struggle to cope with climate change. ''Those that will be most affected are the Eucalyptus and Corymbia species in the central desert and open woodlands area,''...

Huffington Post: When an animal species depends on sea ice for a good part of its life cycle, what are they going to do when that sea ice starts to melt and disappear due to climate change? Well for some colonies of emperor penguins, it appears the only solution is to move away from that melting sea ice even if it means climbing up the very steep sides of floating ice shelves to find safer breeding sites. The new behavior described this week in the journal PLoS One was observed in four of the 46 known emperor...
Climate change role in cold snap triggers debate

Toledo Blade: North America's sudden fascination with the swirling, icy-cold air mass called the polar vortex has -- if nothing else -- expanded the meteorological vocabulary of millions of people, from late-night talk-show hosts tossing around their quips to ordinary people who share opinions on Facebook, Twitter, and other forms of social media. But it's also quietly opened up an ethical debate among mainstream scientists over how hard they should promote any and all possible links between climate change...
