Grist: Climate scientists face a conundrum: To get their message out and conduct research, they often have to hop on a plane - but flying is exactly the sort of carbon-intensive behavior they discourage others from doing. And according to a new study from Indiana University, climate researchers lose credibility with their audience when they dont follow their own advice. That inconsistency is one that the general public is starting to notice. Shahzeen Attari, an author of the study, told Grist she was...

GreenTechMedia: The Energy Gang talks about shattered climate records-plus renewables overtaking natural gas and collaborative transmission planning. The Energy Gang talks about shattered climate records-plus renewables overtaking natural gas and collaborative transmission planning. Thirty years ago, a Republican-led Congressional committee held a two-day hearing on climate change. In June 1986, scientists didn't have the sophisticated measurement tools and supercomputer models that they have today. But they...

Reuters: British scientists say they have developed a model that can predict outbreaks of zoonotic diseases those such as Ebola and Zika that jump from animals to humans based on changes in climate. Describing their model as "a major improvement in our understanding of the spread of diseases from animals to people", the researchers said it could help governments prepare for and respond to disease outbreaks, and to factor in their risk when making policies that might affect the environment. "Our...

Scientists find climate changes fingerprints in French floods

Associated Press: An international team of scientists has found that man-made climate change nearly doubled the likelihood of last month's devastating French flooding. In a quick but not peer-reviewed analysis, the World Weather Attribution team of climate scientists used past rainfall data and computer simulations to look for global warming's fingerprints in the downpours in France and Germany. A senior climate researcher at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, Geert Jan van Oldenborgh, says the team's...

In a rented 15-passenger van barreling south on Interstate 55 out of Chicago in April, a group of environmental activists, a legendary scientist and a camera crew embarked on a quixotic rescue effort. Their goal: saving Illinois nukes. "We shouldn't be taking them off the table, in my opinion," said James Hansen, a former scientist...
