Washington Post: In not much more than a month, leaders from around the world will assemble in Paris in order to -- hopefully -- find a way to cap the worlds greenhouse gas emissions and bring them down to safe levels. But theres a problem. There are some greenhouse gas sources that these leaders cant fully control -- and in some cases, reasons to think that these sources may grow in the future. The point is being driven home this year by raging peat fires in Indonesia, which have already contributed over a...

New Scientist: Winds of change are blowing in Canada. The Liberal party has surged to victory in the general election, winning a majority in parliament. The result brings an end to 10 years of rule by the Conservative party, which drew criticism for its policies on science and the environment, most notably for muzzling publicly funded scientists and pulling out of the Kyoto protocol in 2011 as part of a rollback on climate action. New prime minister Justin Trudeau has promised to let scientists speak openly...

Tech Times: Scientists have discovered 41 global warming tipping points or places that could trigger natural disasters. They believe that these tipping points could cause a domino effect and increase the risk of climate change. A group of scientists has discovered specific places where abrupt changes in temperature could trigger the occurrence of natural disasters. These global warming "tipping points" are not found near any major city, but their contribution to climate change still threatens the planet....

Journal Constitution: Beginning in the mid to late 1970s and continuing for more than a decade, a team of top scientists employed by Exxon investigated the question of man-made climate change and reached the following conclusions: The burning of fossil fuels was leading to a buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; The buildup of CO2 would act as a blanket and inevitably lead to a warmer planet; The effects of that warming could be catastrophic, and could be prevented only by a swift move away from fossil...

Scientists help safeguard nuclear reactors

ScienceDaily: Like much of the rest of the world, thousands of scientists and engineers watched in March 2011 as Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors exploded. The chain of events began when a magnitude 9.0 earthquake off the coast of Tohoku caused a tsunami that destroyed the ability to cool the fuel elements in the reactors. The fuel's cladding, a zirconium alloy used to contain the fuel and radioactive fission products, reacted with boiling coolant water to form hydrogen gas, which then exploded, resulting...
