MTV: Climate change deniers often argue that the climate change we`re seeing now is just part of Earth`s natural cycle, and isn`t being caused by humans. But new research suggests that climate change is happening faster than it has at any other time in our planet`s history - and scientists are worried. Scientists at the University of Bristol recently took a closer look at past periods of climate change in an effort to compare them with what`s happening today, and to investigate whether Earth has ever...

Bloomberg: The climate agreement reached Dec. 12 in Paris leaves the door open to dependence on unproven uses of negative emission technologies like biomass energy with carbon capture and storage, but it's still a step forward for fighting climate change, scientists told Bloomberg BNA. Nearly 200 nations reached an historic climate agreement Dec. 12, after United Nations talks that exceeded their two-week deadline. The 32-page agreement calls for holding the increase in the global average temperature to...

Guardian: Manmade climate change was partly responsible for Storm Desmonds torrential rain which devastated parts of Scotland, the Lake District and Northern Ireland, scientists have concluded. The researchers at Oxford University and the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) calculated that climate change had made the flooding event 40% more likely, with the estimate of the increased likelihood ranging between 5% and 80%. The increase we found is small but robust, said Dr Friederike Otto...

SciDevNet: South Africa is the second biggest economy in Africa. It is also heavily reliant on coal, and its struggles to address climate change without hampering development resonate with the whole continent. But this conflict may be a false one, aired by big fossil fuel firms with an interest in protecting their profits, says South African energy expert Hilton Trollip from the University of Cape Town. In the run up to the UN climate summit now reaching its climax, the worlds countries submitted proposals...
