ScienceDaily: There's little doubt -- among scientists at any rate -- that the climate has warmed since people began to release massive amounts greenhouse gases to the atmosphere during the Industrial Revolution. But ask a scientist if the weather is getting stormier as the climate warms and you're likely to get a careful response that won't make for a good quote. There's a reason for that.

Japanese officials hope the achievement, in a test conducted off Japan's central Pacific coast, will win their resource-poor nation a measure of energy independence. It was announced a day after the second anniversary of the Fukushima earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis that crippled the country's atomic power industry and exposed...

Bloomberg: Workers in jobs without air conditioning will need rest breaks twice as often by 2050 to avoid heat stress amid a warming climate, according to a study from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Losses in labor capacity, or the ability to work safely in warm conditions, will double by mid-century assuming global temperatures rise by 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit), according to the study to be published today online in Nature Climate Change.

Mother Jones: Butterflies from the southern US that used to be rare in the northeast are now appearing there on a regular basis. The trend correlates to a warming climate report the authors of a paper in Nature Climate Change. Subtropical and warm-climate butterflies--including the giant swallowtail (photo above) and the zabulon skipper (photo below)--showed the sharpest population shift to the north. As recently as the late 1980s these species were rare or absent in Massachusetts. At the same time southern...
