Guardian: One of the great things about science is that it allows you to make predictions. Three top climate scientists just made a very bold prediction regarding sea level rise; we should know in a few years if they are correct. As humans emit greenhouse gases, its causing the Earth to warm. Thats indisputable and proven. We can actually measure the amount of extra heat. Since most of it ends up in the oceans, we can also measure other changes in the oceans. For instance, the oceans are rising. We...

New York Times: Australian researchers say rising sea levels have wiped out a rodent that lived on a tiny outcrop in the Great Barrier Reef, in what they say is the first documented extinction of a mammal species due to human-caused climate change. The rodent was known to have lived only on Bramble Cay, a minuscule atoll in the northeast Torres Strait, between the Cape York Peninsula in the Australian state of Queensland and the southern shores of Papua New Guinea. The long-tailed, whiskered creature, called...

Scientists warn mankind will miss crucial climate change target eight months after agreeing it

Independent: A global warming limit agreed by world leaders with great fanfare is feared to be coming close to being broken just eight months on. Climate change scientists have warned it may be nearly impossible to keep global warming below the 1.5C target set at the Paris negotiations in December after temperatures peaked at 1.38C above pre-industrial levels in February and March. Met Office data analysed by Reading University professor Ed Hawkins showed average global temperatures were more than 1C over...
US tribes work with scientists against climate change

Al Jazeera: The last five years have been tough on Tye Baker, the director of Water Resources for the Choctaw Tribe of Oklahoma. First, there was the drought: frighteningly little precipitation from the end of 2010 until the spring of 2015. Then there was heat: 35 straight days of temperatures above 37 degrees Celcius in 2011. Then came the flooding: torrents of rain, 30cm at a time, during the summer of 2015. Through it all, it has been up to Baker to ensure that the Choctaw people have clean, drinkable water...
