ScienceDaily: Ancient rises in sea levels and global warming are partially attributable to cyclical activity below Earth's surface, researchers from New York University and Ottawa's Carleton University have concluded in an analysis of geological studies. However, the article's authors, NYU's Michael Rampino and Carleton University's Andreas Prokoph, note that changes spurred by Earth's interior are gradual, taking place in periods ranging from 60 million to 140 million years -- far less rapidly than those brought...

China takes climate change initiative

Kennebec Journal: Finally, a nation that is contributing heavily to climate change is taking a major step to reduce its emissions. Unfortunately, this global leadership is not coming from the United States. It's coming from China. China is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, so the news (reported by Xinhua, a state-owned media service) that it's going to introduce a carbon tax is huge. The tax is unlikely to be on the scale that experts suggest would make a serious dent in climate change: In 2010,...

Quad City Times: Evidence that the planet is warming can be found by reviewing the historical record of temperatures taken around the world, in the oceans and by satellite. While there are temperature downturns and extra-cold storms within the data, the long-term trend is clear. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, published a report in July 2010 looking at 10 key climate indicators that all point to the same finding: The world is warming. The NOAA report emphasized that humans have...

Seattle Times: There was a telling moment just before Gov. Jay Inslee raised his right hand and took the oath of office. He was introduced as a politician who sees climate change as "an existential threat that transcends politics.' "More than any other president or governor before him, Jay has an electoral mandate on this issue,' Denis Hayes, organizer of the first Earth Day in 1970, told a packed audience in the rotunda two months ago. If lawmakers did not grasp the significance of those remarks then,...

Climate change raises locust threat

Daily Star: Israel is not the only transgressor violating Lebanon's airspace.Farmers and city-dwellers alike were taken by surprise over the weekend when flights of locusts descended on parts of the Lebanese coast, from Tyre in the south to Tripoli in the north. While Sunday's drop in temperature is expected to kill off or drive out the most recent wave of winged invaders, global warming could make locust infestations a real threat to Lebanon's crops and environment. "Usually we have these hot winds from...
