Huffington Post: Over the past two days, I was glued to my television screen as one reporter after another stood in the rain and braved gusty winds to give the world a very detailed account of the cyclone Phailin that hit the eastern sea coast of India. Such reportage was unparalleled especially in comparison to the reporting around the massive super cyclone that hit the same region in 1999. Twenty-four-hour broadcasting ensured the cyclone's landfall made it to TV screens at the same instant as it ravaged through...

Yahoo: If global emissions are not significantly reduced, London will experience a 'radically different climate' by 2056. That is the message from a new study published by researchers at the University of Hawaii, who have calculated how global warming is likely to affect major cities around the world in the coming decades. Camilo Mora and his team used multiple atmospheric projections to calculate the expected date by which different parts of the world are likely to experience a climate that differs...

Global News: While the information contained in the study performed at the University of Hawaii is alarming, it`s not quite the end of the world, says one co-author. "It`s far from the end of the world, but we are heading into unprecedented climates," Abby Frazier said in an interview on The West Block with Tom Clark, The effects of climate change will begin in the tropics before heading toward cooler climates, the study suggests.

Guardian: 1 Stay cool, dry Britain is expected to get more extremes of heat and rainfall, so prepare for more severe floods, longer droughts and more powerful storms. No one knows quite what the effect over time will be of a slowing Gulf stream, or the melting of arctic sea ice, but climate scientists confidently expect temperatures to rise up to 4C by 2100. That could mean big shifts in rainfall patterns and a more unpredictable climate. So clear your drains, fix your roof and move to Wales or at least...

Climate Change Fight Needs Game Attitude

Scientific American: It's obvious. Global efforts to combat climate change have failed. International summits are full of hot air and greenhouse gas pollution continues to rise. If a country bails on a climate commitment, they pay a price of, well, zero. Turns out that's okay, at least according to game theory analyses by researchers at the University of Lisbon. Their models suggest that punishment by global institutions has no effect. They also say that global summits actually impede cooperation. Now, in a new...
