Extreme Water in Earth's Interior 14/03/2013, 12:54:08 PM (Sciencedaily)-Earth is the only known planet that holds water in massive quantities and in all three of the main phase states. But the earthly, omnipresent compound water has very unusual properties that become particularly evident when subjected to high pressure and high temperatures.

Pilot project to test range of climate change strategies 14/03/2013, 08:45:29 AM (VietNamNet Bridge)-A two-year pilot project has provided policy makers in the southern province of Long An with alternative ways to handle climate change and its related threats.

Central Highlands suffers from severe drought 13/03/2013, 04:01:26 PM (Dtinews)-Nearly 34,000 people in the Central Highlands are facing severe famine, as the region faces a drought that has continued for months.

Are Tropical Forests Resilient to Global Warming? 11/03/2013, 01:08:51 PM ()-Tropical forests are less likely to lose biomass -- plants and plant material -- in response to greenhouse gas emissions over the twenty-first century than may previously have been thought, suggests a study published online this week in Nature Geoscience.

Death of Hugo Chávez gives Venezuela a choice on climate change 08/03/2013, 09:29:45 PM (Guardian)-Regardless of one's position on el Comandante Hugo Chávez, the death of the Venezuelan president opens the door for a policy debate on a critical issue for Venezuela and the world's security: climate change. As the 2015 deadline to create a new global treaty on climate change approaches, the question for the oil-rich country looms: will Venezuela be a key architect of an ambitious and equitable deal, or will it sabotage progress?

Large rise in CO2 emissions sounds climate change alarm 08/03/2013, 09:27:25 PM (Guardian)-The chances of the world holding temperature rises to 2C – the level of global warming considered "safe" by scientists – appear to be fading fast with US scientists reporting the second-greatest annual rise in CO2 emissions in 2012.

Reconstruction of Earth Climate History Shows Significance of Recent Temperature Rise 08/03/2013, 03:49:41 PM (Sciencedaily)-Using data from 73 sites around the world, scientists have been able to reconstruct Earth's temperature history back to the end of the last Ice Age, revealing that the planet today is warmer than it has been during 70 to 80 percent of the time over the last 11,300 years.

True face of climate's hockey stick graph revealed 08/03/2013, 08:32:46 AM (Newscientist)-Earth's temperature is changing faster now than at any time since the last ice age, according to a new analysis of global temperatures spanning the last 11,300 years.

Insurance only part of disaster resilience, says climate change panel 07/03/2013, 10:59:04 AM (Guardian)-In most developing countries, farmers risk losing their crops and livestock to droughts or floods, and the recent intensity of these climatic shocks has been record-setting.

Dutch Red Cross helps Vietnam manage climate change 07/03/2013, 10:47:10 AM (VNA)-The Dutch Red Cross Office in Vietnam and the disaster management board of Vietnam Red Cross (VRC) jointly organised a training course on ‘Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment’ (VCA) in the city of Hue on March 6.

Statistical Physics Offers a New Way to Look at Climate 06/03/2013, 05:59:34 PM (Sciencedaily)-Statistical physics offers an approach to studying climate change that could dramatically reduce the time and brute-force computing that current simulation techniques require. The new approach focuses on fundamental forces that drive climate rather than on "following every little swirl" of water or air.

How extreme weather acts as a catalyst for climate concern 05/03/2013, 05:10:29 PM (Guardian)-Against a backdrop of lukewarm sentiment about environmental issues globally, levels of concern about climate change in Wales are at their highest for many years.

Apocalypse? No. But unless we change tack, the planet is running out of time 04/03/2013, 02:26:08 PM (Guardian)-After millennia of falsely predicting the apocalypse, humanity has become understandably flippant. There were so many threatened catastrophes in 2012, from rolling earthquakes to interstellar collisions and a misunderstanding of the Mayan calendar that the quips began to flow. "People are making apocalypse jokes like there's no tomorrow,' was a favourite.

Volcanic Aerosols, Not Pollutants, Tamped Down Recent Earth Warming 03/03/2013, 06:46:30 AM (Sciencedaily)-A team led by the University of Colorado Boulder looking for clues about why Earth did not warm as much as scientists expected between 2000 and 2010 now thinks the culprits are hiding in plain sight -- dozens of volcanoes spewing sulfur dioxide.
