Environment News Service: Warning that Earth is rapidly approaching a tipping point at which human impacts are causing alarming levels of harm to our planet, California Governor Jerry Brown today joined more than 500 scientists to release a call to action on climate change and other global threats to all humanity. "This is not just about science, this is about activism," said Governor Brown. "This is an important challenge, cause and undertaking.

For some time, scientists have been able to craft precise genetic copies of many creatures. Whether they are animals, or single cells, they are similarly refereed to as clones. For various technical and perceived ethical reasons, the procedures involved have been difficult to replicate for humans. A new paper published in the journal Cell shares the work of a group of researchers in Oregon who have grown a human clone -- at least up to a couple hundred cells.

Virginian-Pilot: The attack on the notion of global warming takes many forms, but a particularly pernicious one argues that scientific consensus on the subject is a myth. That charge has been made so many times by so many global warming deniers that 60 percent of Americans have accepted that scientists are divided on the issue. They simply aren't, and a new study shows just how far the fable diverges from reality. The study, published in Environmental Research Letters last week, examined the conclusions of...

Washington Post: Here`s a finding that shouldn`t be all that surprising: Since 1991, roughly 97 percent of all published scientific papers that take a position on the question agree that humans are warming the planet. That stat comes from this extensive new survey led by John Cook and Dana Nuccitelli, who run the Skeptical Science website. And it builds on earlier studies finding the exact same thing. The authors sifted through 11,944 climate-related abstracts over the past two decades and found that 66.4 percent...
Scientists Agree On Climate Change, Why Doesn't The Public?

National Public Radio: A new study confirms that the vast majority of scientists who research the climate accept that the planet is warming and human beings are largely responsible. Yet a large slice of the American public believes that scientists are deeply split about global warming.
