(CBS News) CHICAGO – The United Nations issued a report saying the planet saw “unprecedented climate extremes” in the last decade with every spot on the globe affected in some way. At Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium, research biologist Phil Willink worries about what he sees when he looks at Lake Michigan. “What’s most disturbing,” he said,…
In this week’s address, President Obama tells the American people about a plan he unveiled a few days ago to confront the growing threat of climate change. His plan will cut carbon pollution, protect our country from the impacts of climate change, and lead the world in a coordinated assault on a changing climate.
Washington, DC, leading climate scientist Michael Mann of the University of Pennsylvania sat down with Climate Desk Live to talk about the significance of an planetary milestone—we’ve reached 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide in
As Obama has outlined his new climate plan, we ask if he will he be able to fulfill his promise of a greener future. http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/insidestoryamericas/2013/06/2013626101326859987.html
Using advanced technologies, such as remotely operated vehicles, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) is helping to uncover the far-reaching presence of man-made debris in deep ocean ecosystems. Over the past 25 years, we have recorded evidence of debris up to 13,000 feet deep and 300 miles offshore from waters off of central and…
Transcript PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Thank you. Thank you. (Cheers, applause.) Thank you, Georgetown! (Cheers, applause.) Thanks. Thank you so much. Now — thank you, Georgetown. Everybody please be seated. And my first announcement today is that you should all take off your jackets. (Laughter.) I’m going to do the same. We got — (cheers) —…
By John Irving / Desmog.ca – June 24, 2013: I’ve always had a deep affinity for nature, having been blessed to spend my childhood summers on the idyllic and mysteriously underpopulated pristine beaches of Nova Scotia’s Northumberland shore. During the summers, my extended family would sometimes gather around the red varnished picnic tables in our…

By Rob Painting / SkepticalScience, June 24, 2013: Key Points: Despite a large increase in heat being absorbed by the Earth’s climate system(oceans, land & ice), the first decade of the 21st century saw a slowdown in the rate of global surface warming (surface air temperatures). A climate model-based study, Meehl (2011), predicted that this…
13 February 2013: An international team of scientists using new measurements from ESA’s ice mission has discovered that the volume of Arctic sea ice has declined by 36% during autumn and 9% during winter between 2003 and 2012. Satellite records show a constant downward trend in the area covered by Arctic sea ice during all…
