Star: Fingers were crossed and prayers were said: please let the 100th Tour de France be free of scandal. And other than some mourning that Chris Froomes ride to victory had as many whispers of cheating as hands clapping when it wrapped up over the weekend, organizers got their wish. Still, the Tour de France has a looming enemy. And like doping, this one isnt easily fixable: climate change. It could change the Tour de France as we know it. The Tour is famously gruelling, says Andrea Wooles, science...

National Geographic: Almost 100 million euros (U.S.$ 130 million) has been spent so far on conservation efforts for the last 250 remaining Iberian lynxes in the wild, but the world`s most endangered cat species is likely to go extinct within 50 years because the management plans do not provide for the effects of climate change, researchers warn. Our models show that the anticipated climate change will lead to a rapid and dramatic decline of the Iberian lynx and probably eradicate the species within 50 years, in spite...
