IRIN: Climatic stressors like recurrent droughts and floods are already causing real damage to livelihoods, eroding people's ability to adapt or improve their lives, says a new series of studies. The authors urged negotiators gathering in Warsaw on 11 November for talks under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to redouble their efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Toronto Star: Toronto Mayor Rob Ford isnt this countrys only global embarrassment; Prime Minister Stephen Harpers appalling record on the environment and contempt for international diplomacy has also shamed Canada around the world. Though governments everywhere have handed over their national agenda to corporate interests, Harpers conflation of the two has been total. His abject servitude to business, especially the oil industry, knows no bounds. In his recent speech to the Tory hordes in Calgary, the...

Last week, a source leaked a draft report, drawn up by the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and due to be released next March.

Climate change conference aims at how best to adapt
2013-11-07 08:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
MPR: Minnesota's climate is changing -- so much so that the state is seeing more record-breaking temperatures, higher dew points and more extreme weather events. The changes are affecting everything from how doctors treat allergies to how cities rebuild storm sewers. With that in mind, transportation planners, public health officials and others will meet in St. Paul today to talk about how best to adapt. Organizers expect more than 200 people at the sold-out conference, which they say is the first...
