Herald: GLOBAL warming is causing a "widespread shift" in the behaviour of marine species in the world`s oceans, according to new research by a city team. Scientists at Plymouth University were involved in putting together a report, entitled Global Imprint of Climate Change on Marine Life, which found that warming oceans are causing marine species to change breeding times and move quicker than expected. The findings could have "substantial consequences" for the broader marine landscape, and will form...

Reuters: A corner of west London will see culinary and scientific history made on Monday when scientists cook and serve up the world's first lab-grown beef burger. The in-vitro burger, cultured from cattle stem cells, the first example of what its creator says could provide an answer to global food shortages and help combat climate change, will be fried in a pan and tasted by two volunteers. The burger is the result of years of research by Dutch scientist Mark Post, a vascular biologist at the University...

United Kingdom: Climate scientists must not advocate particular policies

Guardian: As a climate scientist, I'm under pressure to be a political advocate. This comes mainly from environmentalists. Dan Cass, wind-farm director and solar advocate, preferred me not to waste my time debating "denialist morons" but to use political advocacy to "prevent climate catastrophe". Jeremy Grantham, environmental philanthropist, urged climate scientists to sound a "more desperate note Be arrested if necessary." A concerned member of the public judged my efforts at public engagement successful...
