Renew Economy: The temperature spiral that took the world by storm has an update. If you think the heat is on in our current climate, you aint seen nothing yet. To recap, University of Reading climate scientist Ed Hawkins wrecked the internet a few weeks ago with a revolutionary new way to look at global temperatures. Using a circular graph of every years monthly temperatures and animating it, Hawkins image showed planetary heat spiraling closer to the 2°C threshold in a way no bar or line graph could do....

Sydney Morning Herald: The Great Barrier Reef is unlikely to recover fully from the huge bleaching event that has killed off more than half its corals in some northern reefs as temperatures rise, scientists say. Research, including by Tracy Ainsworth from James Cook University, has found that corals have natural mechanisms helping them to acclimatise to rising sea-level temperatures and avoid bleaching. Coral reefs may be losing their natural ability to acclimatise. Photo: Zoe Richards However, the ability...

Reuters: As they struggle to deal with more extreme weather, a range of food crops are generating more of chemical compounds that can cause health problems for people and livestock who eat them, scientists have warned. A new report by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) says that crops such as wheat and maize are generating more potential toxins as a reaction to protect themselves from extreme weather. But these chemical compounds are harmful to people and animals if consumed for a prolonged...
