Huff Post: As Germany and Spain sweated and London sweltered through its hottest July day on record this week, scientists said it is "virtually certain" that climate change is increasing the likelihood of such heat waves in Europe. In real-time data analysis released on Friday, a team of international climate scientists from universities, meteorological services and research organizations said the kind of heat waves hitting Europe this week - defined as three-day periods of excessive heat - are becoming much...

Peru: Scientists say climate change hastened demise of Latin America's oldest civilization

Fox: Caral, the Americas' oldest civilization, located north of present day Lima, Peru, faced a grave crisis as a result of climate change some 4,000 years ago, archaeologists said. "Droughts were so severe that they could have lasted between 60 and 130 years, which could explain why there were social crises in (civilizations like) Caral, Moche and Tiahuanaco," archaeologist Ruth Shady, director of the Caral Project, told Efe. Women played leading roles in Caral and a team led by Shady has been...

Scientists Say Tar Sands Development And Limiting Climate Change Incompatible
2015-06-11 22:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: More than 100 scientists from the U.S. and Canada called for a moratorium on the development of tar sands Wednesday, saying the carbon-intensive form of energy was "incompatible" with limiting climate change. The scientists published a consensus statement laying out 10 reasons why mining of tar sands - an energy source that`s found largely in Alberta, Canada`s Athabasca region and whose mining has led to significant deforestation and forest degradation in the province - needs to be halted. Those...

Climate Scientists Helped Create a Spurious Pause in Global Warming

ClimateWire: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was in a bind. The world's premier scientific body on the climate had found, in a 2013 report, that it is extremely likely (95 percent confidence) that human activities are responsible for most of the observed warming of global temperatures since 1951. The panel was more certain than it had ever been in the past. Yet the lay public did not seem to care. Polls have repeatedly shown that climate change is not a priority for most people. So the...

Its Shameful': Scientists Slam Ted Cruz Dodging Climate Question After Texas Floods
2015-05-31 18:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: After literally 35 trillion gallons of water fell on Texas this month, washing away homes and killing at least 28 people, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz still would not talk about climate change. "At a time of tragedy, I think it`s wrong to try to politicize a natural disaster," the 2016 Republican presidential candidate said last week when asked about the role of climate change in the floods. In a way, the "let`s not politicize this" response is similar to the familiar "I`m not a scientist" dodge - a way...
