PBS: Rocky Mountain forests as we know them are in great peril, according to a new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists and the Rocky Mountain Climate Organization, with many having already been substantially damaged by the triple threat of beetle kill, wildfire and heat-related drought. The report presents new evidence that human-caused climate warming is driving those components of forest destruction. The National Climate Assessment published earlier this year included similar material,...

Scientists Eye Real-Time Extreme Event Attribution

Reuters: Climate scientists hope to be able to tell the world almost in real-time whether global warming has a hand in extreme weather thanks to an initiative they plan to launch by the end of 2015. In recent years, scientists have become more adept at working out whether climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions is exacerbating wild weather and its impacts around the world, but the task usually takes months. "In the media, we are seeing this notion that you cannot attribute any individual events...

Is 2 Degrees the Right Limit for Global Warming? Some Scientists Say No

National Geographic: For more than a decade international climate-policy discussions have revolved around a seemingly simple goal: Limit the rise in average global surface temperature to two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit). But a new paper argues that the two-degree target is not only increasingly unrealistic but also misleading. "More and more, it's a combination of fantasy and irrelevance," says David Victor, a professor of international relations at the University of California, San Diego, and the co-author...
