Heatwave deaths in New York city could rise by up to 22%, study shows	19.5.2013	Guardian: Environment
New temperature norms under climate change will increase weather-related deaths in metropolitan areas in coming decades New York city could experience up to 22% more deaths from extreme summertime heat in the coming decade under global warming, according to a study of the impact of climate trends. The higher deaths will be partially offset by a reduction in deaths due to the milder winters predicted in Manhattan. Overall, however, the net effect of the new temperature norms under climate change would be to increase weather-related deaths in New York city by up to 6.2% a year by the 2020s, according to the scientists. The study, published in Nature Climate Change , predicted oppressive summer temperatures would exact an increasingly heavy toll on people living in metropolitan areas such as Manhattan in the coming decades. The numbers would not be significantly offset by milder winters, the study found, and deaths due to extreme temperatures would rise more dramatically in the later ...

Arctic’s whistle-blower (Cached)	15.5.2013	Down to Earth
Online>> www.arctictruth.org ENVIRONMENTAL group Greenpeace has launched a website seeking to attract whistle-blowers from within oil companies to reveal risks with drilling in the Arctic. Greenpeace wants governments to ban oil and gas firms from the fragile Arctic environment. It urged employees of oil firms and sub-contractors to submit information to the website if they knew about risks that were in the public interest.

Mount Everest glaciers melting rapidly, says study (Cached)	15.5.2013	Down to Earth
Everest region has undergone a 0.6°C increase in temperature since 1992 Since the glaciers are melting faster than they are replenished by ice and snow, they are revealing rocks and debris that were previously hidden deep under the ice (photograph by Pavel Novak, courtesy the American Geophysical Union) Glaciers on Mount Everest, the world"s tallest peak, are melting. Scientists say climate change could be a possible reason. ...

Floods could 'overwhelm Thames Barrier by end of century'	14.5.2013	Guardian: Environment
Sea-level rises could send storm floods over the barrier if nothing is done to bolster the UK's flood defences Sea-level rises could send floods driven by storm surges over London's Thames Barrier regularly by the end of the century, if nothing is done to bolster the UK's flood defences, scientists warned on Tuesday. But around the world sea level rises from melting ice alone are likely to be "in the tens of centimetres" rather than several metres by 2100, as some outlying estimates had predicted, according to Ice2Sea , a project bringing together scientists from around Europe in order to improve predictions of sea level rises under climate change. The scientists also said there was only a one-in-20 chance that melting ice would contribute more than 84cm to sea level rises by 2100. Their work has helped to narrow down some of the vast differences in estimates of sea level rises. But their central estimate range is still large – that ice melting is likely to contribute between 3.5 to ...
