Lelu Island, near Prince Rupert, BC, is seen March 8, 2013.

Ars Technica: It's Memorial Day, all Ars staff is off, and we're grateful for it (running a site remains tough work). But on a normal Monday, inevitably we'd continue to monitor news from the world of climate change. Our John Timmer examined the claims that scientists are in it solely for the money in February 2011, and we're resurfacing his piece for your holiday reading pleasure. One of the more unfortunate memes that makes an appearance whenever climate science is discussed is the accusation that, by hyping...

Guardian: ExxonMobil moved to squash a well-established congressional lecture series on climate science just nine days after the presidential inauguration of George W Bush, a former oil executive, the Guardian has learned.

InsideClimate: Ninety to 100 percent of climate scientists agree that the planet is warming due to human activity, according to a peer-reviewed paper published Wednesday in the journal Environmental Research Letters. The study, called a "consensus on consensus," synthesizes findings from prior published research. While there is a near-unanimous consensus among climate scientists that human activity is causing the planet to warm, public opinion in the U.S. lags far behind. Only 70 percent of Americans (79 percent...

Independent: 97 per cent of scientists agree that climate change is caused by humans, an American study has claimed. Significantly, the researchers behind the study also found that the more knowledge of climate science these scientists have, the more likely they are to believe in human-caused climate change. The study, published recently in the Environmental Research Letters journal, was conducted by a team from Michigan Technological University. It was compiled through the analysis of seven previous...
