Agence France-Presse: UN scientists are set to deliver their darkest report yet on the impacts of climate change, pointing to a future stalked by floods, drought, conflict and economic damage if carbon emissions go untamed. A draft of their report, seen by Agence France-Presse, is part of a massive overview by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), likely to shape policies and climate talks for years to come. Scientists and government representatives will meet in Yokohama, Japan, from Tuesday, March...

Climate scientists' biggest challenge isn't scientific

Bloomberg: On Tuesday, I asked why Republicans are so much less likely than Democrats to worry about climate change, and wondered if the answer wasn't an aversion to more government spending and regulation. Readers, or at least those who wrote the 1,800 or so comments on the piece, felt differently. The argument that many of them offered -- that man-made climate change is some sort of hoax, perpetuated by scientists looking for research money -- deserves consideration, because it underlines what makes the...

Get real: Climate change scientists cut through bluster in blunt report

Indian Country: Forget about reading, writing and rithmetic. Reality, risk and response are the new three Rs, scientists say, and the situation is dire. The incremental changes taking place in the global climate will in the not-too-distant future add up to irreversible damage, says a new report from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Compiling all that is known to date about the changes taking place in Earths air, water and land, the U.S.s top scientists are trying to get humanity...
Scientists tell Americans: This climate change thing really is a big deal

Grist: One of the world`s largest and most influential science organizations is launching a new campaign to cut through the noise of climate denialism and help the public understand the threat of climate change. The American Association for the Advancement of Science kicked things off on Monday by publishing a 20-page report entitled What We Know. The gist: We know that global warming is real, risky, and demands a serious response - "the three Rs of climate change." We`re trying to provide a voice...
Mountain thermostats: scientists discover surprising climate stabilizer

Mongabay: What do mountains have to do with climate change? More than you'd expect: new research shows that the weathering rates of mountains caused by vegetation growth plays a major role in controlling global temperatures. Scientists from the University of Oxford and the University of Sheffield have shown how tree roots in certain mountains "acted like a thermostat" for the global climate. In warmer climates, tree roots grow faster and deeper (aided by the decomposition of leaf litter), breaking up rock...
