Yale Environment 360: A few weeks from now, in the waters off the Tasmanian coast, marine ecologist Jonny Stark of the Australian Antarctic Division and a team of biologists and technicians will piece together an underwater laboratory. Once they get the technology hooked up and running, they will promptly disassemble the hoses, instruments, pumps, and plastic panels and crate it all up. This is merely a dress rehearsal, and in much kinder conditions than those anticipated for the performance later this year in Antarctica....

3News: One-in-100-year floods like those which recently submerged parts of Christchurch could be an annual event by the end of this century, scientists are warning. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will release a report this afternoon that outlines the increasing effects of rising temperatures on New Zealand's agricultural industry and coastal communities. Last year's report showed that the concentration of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases had increased to levels unprecedented...

Scientists struggle complete climate impacts report

BBC: Negotiators worked through the night here in Yokohama in an effort to complete their review of a key report on the impacts of climate change. At stake is a dense 29-page summary detailing the effects of climate change on the planet over the next 100 years. Several hundred members of the UN's climate panel have been deep in deliberations since Tuesday, with many sessions running very late. The report is the first such assessment since 2007.

The right's new climate change lie: It's all the scientists' fault

Salon: Some scholars blame scientists at least in part for why we are not motivated to act on climate change. They claim that many scientists have discredited themselves by politicizing science. On this view the politicization of science by some climate scientists has compromised the credibility of the entire enterprise. John Lanchester writes: [T]he scientists...are...trying to sell us something. And we the public might be undereducated, but we know not to trust entirely someone who is trying to sell...
Scientists Discover Bacterial Resistance To Improve Biofuel Production

RedOrbit: Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI), a multi-institutional partnership led by Berkeley Lab, have identified the genetic origins of a microbial resistance to ionic liquids and successfully introduced this resistance into a strain of E. coli bacteria for the production of advanced biofuels. The ionic liquid resistance is based on a pair of genes discovered in a bacterium native to a tropical rainforest in Puerto Rico. We identified two genes in...
