New York Post: Climate change could turn the world into a more violent place, according to a new study, with murders, assaults and even wars set to spike if extreme weather conditions occur with greater frequency. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley found even small changes in temperature or rainfall correlate to more murders, rapes and conflicts, according to the BBC. Study co-author Marshall Burke said the analysis looked at data from countries across the world going back hundreds of years....

Ecosystems Face Unprecedented Climate Change Velocity

Climate Central: Over the next century, plants and animals on land might be in for a wild and ultimately devastating ride. Warming temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and extreme weather and climate events are likely to increase at a rate and magnitude not seen in more than 65 million years, according to a new study published Thursday in the journal Science. Couple that with other human-related ecosystem disruptions, from highways to deforestation to pollution, and some species could find themselves pushed...

Hill: Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said the U.S. natural-gas boom is helping the nation battle climate change despite concerns about leakage of the potent greenhouse gas methane from well sites. His remarks show that although the Obama administration is studying methane questions, Moniz doesnt believe the emissions erode the climate advantage of natural gas compared to carbon-heavy coal it's displacing in power generation. My look at the evidence to date suggests that this in no way eliminates the...

Leaked Climate Change Authority report calls on Australia to triple 2020 carbon emissions cuts target
2013-08-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ABC: One of the Government's key advisory bodies on climate change says Australia should triple its 2020 target for cutting carbon emissions. A leaked report to the Government from the independent Climate Change Authority says Australia should aim to cut emissions by 15 per cent of 2000 levels by 2020. That is up from the 5 per cent figure agreed to as a target by both sides of politics. The report says the cuts should ramp up to 40 per cent cut by 2030, and 90 per cent by 2050. The Gillard government...
