BusinessGreen: Campaign group 10:10 will today for the second year use the 10th day of the 10th month to highlight some of the most inspirational examples from around the world of efforts to tackle climate change and roll out clean technologies. The #ItsHappening initiative showcases a raft of emission-cutting projects, ranging from giant Spanish concentrated solar plants and record-breaking community energy projects in Holland to a cycle lane in North London, solar stained glass windows in a Canadian cathedral,...
Science team identifies tipping point in climate change: 2047

Globe and Mail: If you've been wondering when global warming will show up on your doorstep, Camilo Mora has an answer for you. Dr. Mora, an associate professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, leads a team that has tackled the challenging question of when the climate will shift entirely beyond what could be considered natural. Their result: The turning point arrives in 2047 as a worldwide average if fossil fuel consumption continues unabated; as late as 2069 if carbon emissions are curbed. Broken down...

Urgent New Time Frame for Climate Change Revealed by Massive Analysis
2013-10-09 20:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The seesaw variability of global temperatures often engenders debate over how seriously we should take climate change. But within 35 years, even the lowest monthly dips in temperatures will be hotter than we've experienced in the past 150 years, according to a new and massive analysis of all climate models. The tropics will be the first to exceed the limits of historical extremes and experience an unabated heat wave that threatens biodiversity and heavily populated countries with the fewest resources...

Climate change sceptics aren't all alike, so don't tar them with the same brush

Guardian: Last week my friend and onetime colleague, the UK government's former climate adviser John Ashton, berated the BBC for giving Australian climate sceptic Bob Carter undue airtime in its reporting of the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The geneticist Steve Jones also weighed in, reminding the corporation not to fall into the trap of "false balance" by treating the views of sceptics equally alongside mainstream climate researchers. The nub of their argument is that...
Climate Change and Water Scarcity

Environmental News Network: Using a novel methodological approach, scientists of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) have introduced new estimates on how climate change will affect water availability. Access to freshwater in Africa and the Middle East is known to be scarce, but the Siberian tundra and Indian grasslands also lack freshwater. These areas along with dry pockets across the globe are expected to expand and create implications for their habitats and communities. The new study predicts that if...
