Deutsche Welle: Is climate change taking a break? The cold start into spring has made people in parts of Europe wonder if the climate is really warming. Global temperatures have not been rising in recent years. Is the earth cooling instead of warming? Looking at the average temperature over five years during the last 15 years, global temperatures might appear to be flattening out. "Over the last decade there has been very little new warming," says Ed Hawkins from the University of Reading in the United...

AlertNet: Pakistan's government has boosted the funding of a state institution that researches the impacts of climate change, and granted it autonomy, in an effort to increase the quality of its recommendations on climate resilience for government policy and programmes. The Global Change Impact Studies Centre (GCISC) will focus on research aimed at helping sectors such as water, agriculture, forestry and health become more resilient to climate change. The centre will collaborate with countries in South...

Japan Times: Spending six months of every year in the Arctic, adventurer Tetsuhide Yamazaki sees the impact of global warming firsthand through the region`s thinning sea ice, the expanse of which has roughly halved in the last three decades. The ice is "very thin this year," Yamazaki, 45, said after confirming a thickness of 118 cm with a drill during his recent exploration of an area at the North Pole. Sea ice in the area is usually almost 2 meters thick, according to Yamazaki, who senses the ice grows thinner...

Climate Change Responsible for Global Vegetation Change
2013-04-17 18:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: The amount of vegetation in the world, and the way it is spread across the planet, has changed significantly in the last three decades, researchers say. They attribute more than half the changes they detected to the effects of the warming climate, with people responsible for only around a third. Surprisingly, perhaps, they are at a loss to attribute about 10 percent of the changes unequivocally to either the climate or us. They say their work marks a scientific advance, because it has only...
