Scientists to Obama: Convene climate change 'summit' to map out federal action

The Hill: Several scientific organizations are urging President Obama to convene a national summit on climate change to identify effective federal policies as well as state and local government actions. The request, spelled out in a letter Friday, highlights how advocates are pinning their hopes on aggressive White House steps in Obama's second term as global warming legislation remains a non-starter in Congress. Such a national summit on climate change should be informed by science and could bring...

Washington Post: Naomi Oreskes is a professor of history and science studies at the University of California at San Diego and co-author of "Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming.' At the recent annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union, scientists presented evidence of climate change proceeding more rapidly than they had imagined 15, 10 or even five years ago. After a brief hiatus due mostly to the economic downturn, they noted,...

Scientists: Climate change could harm Maui plant

Associated Press: Scientists say the outlook is bleak for a rare Maui plant if current climate change trends continue. They say the Haleakala silversword plant is increasingly under stress as the Maui volcano gets warmer and drier. University of Hawaii biologist Paul Krushelnycky said Tuesday the plant illustrates how even well-protected and relatively abundant species may succumb to climate-induced stress. He co-authored a paper on the topic published this week in the journal Global Change Biology. Animals eating...

Scientists link climate change and gray snapper

PhysOrg: NOAA scientists continue to develop and improve the approaches used to understand the effect of climate change on marine fisheries along the U.S. east coast. Their latest study projects that one common coastal species found in the southeast U.S., gray snapper, will shift northwards in response to warming coastal waters. In a study published online December 20 in the journal PLOS ONE, researchers from the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) and the University of North Florida developed projections...

Scientists urge immediate climate action to limit costs
2013-01-04 12:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: Waiting to tackle emissions until 2020 when a global agreement is due to be in place will be far more costly than taking action today, according to new research published this week. Keeping to the internationally agreed target of 2°C of average warming by 2050 will be much more difficult to achieve if action is delayed, risking floods, heatwaves, drought and rising sea level, the report concludes. Keywan Riahi, study co-author and energy program leader at the International Institute for Applied...
