Voice of America: Scientists meeting in the Thai capital have warned extreme weather caused by climate change will reduce fish stocks and major crops in the Mekong River Basin if countries in Southeast Asia fail to adapt. However, they also warn dam building, much of it for hydropower, is the largest single threat to fisheries that sustain millions of people. An estimated 60 million fishermen and farmers depend on the Mekong River for its rich nutrients and abundant fish. A new study by a group of scientists...

LiveScience: Almost half the world's population gets its water from glacier melt and rainfall in the Himalayas and other lofty peaks, yet little is understood about how climate change will affect these water sources. Now, using sophisticated technology and old-fashioned fieldwork, scientists are looking into the past to solve this mystery. "We're trying to understand the relationships between climate and glaciers and Earth's water resources from the perspective of Earth's paleoclimate," geologist Aaron Putnam...

Canberra Times: Scientists have mapped and filmed the remnants of a coral reef off the NSW mid-north coast in an effort to better understand the effects of climate change. Using multi-beam sonar imaging and video cameras a team of scientists from the University of Wollongong, Geoscience Australia and the NSW Department of Primary Industries surveyed a reef near Lord Howe Island, about 600km east of Port Macquarie. Core samples, videos and a topographical map of the sea floor were captured during the two-week...

Huffington Post: A 2006 Nor'easter blotted out New England. Climate science suggests that such storms are becoming heavier -- and more common. The Union of Concerned Scientists has posted an informative breakdown on the connections between the winter storm bearing down on the Northeast and the planet's changing climate. "Its Cold and My Car is Buried in Snow. Is Global Warming Really Happening?," notes that storms like this one -- a classic Nor'easter -- are well-known to residents along the nation's North...
