Guardian: The Arctic is on course for an ice-free summer within the next few decades, as scientist on Friday declared that sea ice in the region had fallen to one of the lowest annual minimums on record. On 13 September, the expanse of frozen water in the Arctic fell to 5.10 million square kilometres (1.97 million square miles), the sixth-lowest such measurement on record, the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said in a statement. The annual minimum was not as extreme as the collapse of sea ice...

Reuters: Top climate scientists will blame mankind more clearly than ever for global warming next week but may struggle to drive home the message in a report that uses the term "uncertainty" 42 times. The 'language gap' between scientists and the policy makers, public and media they seek to alert is proving hard to bridge.

Scientists urge shoreline retreat from Hawaii's eroding beaches
2013-09-17 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: Sea-level rise is a significant factor in the major shoreline change underway in Hawaii, where 52 to 72 percent of beaches on the chain of islands have eroded over the past century, a recent study has found. The more than 7 million tourists who flock to Hawaii's beaches each year are part of an array of contributors to erosion. In addition to the influx of visitors, developments along the coasts continue to provoke shoreline changes. To capture the breadth of erosion's causes and to propose...
