Weather experts to discuss unusual UK seasons	18.6.2013	The Guardian -- Front Page
Meteorologists and scientists to try to figure out if icy winters and wet summers are due to natural variation or climate change Leading scientists and meteorologists are meeting at the Met Office to discuss the UK's unusual weather patterns in recent years . Experts will discuss the reasons for 2010's icy winter, last year's washout summer and this year's spring, which is set to be the coldest in more than 50 years. Discussions at the Met Office in Exeter on Tuesday will seek to answer whether the unusual seasons were the result of natural variation or linked to the effects of climate change, such as melting Arctic sea ice. Stephen Belcher, head of the Met Office Hadley Centre and chairman of the workshop, said: "We have seen a run of unusual seasons in the UK and northern Europe, such as the cold winter of 2010, last year's wet weather and the cold spring this year. "This may be nothing more than a run of natural variability, but there may be other factors impacting our weather. ...

Bloomberg set to roll out New York composting plan for food waste	17.6.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Mayor set to cross 'final recycling frontier' with city-wide plan to handle up to 100,000 tons of food waste a year The mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, is preparing to roll out a new composting plan for the city, aimed at diverting some of the 100,000 tons of food scraps that ends up in landfill every year. Bloomberg, who is due to leave office early next year, has called food waste the "final recycling frontier". Now it appears New York is moving towards that line, testing pilot projects in some neighbourhoods in preparation for a city-wide composting plan. The city has hired a composting plant to handle up to 100,000 tons of food scraps a year – or about 10% of the city's total food waste, according to the New York Times, , which first reported the story. Last April, about 100 city restaurants joined a voluntary composting plan, the food waste challenge. By next year, 150,000 households will be on board along with 100 high-rise buildings and 600 schools. The entire city could be ...

Could the world's biggest marine sanctuary be declared in the Antarctic? \| Graham Readfearn	17.6.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Proposals will go before a commission next month to help protect thousands of species in Antarctic waters An extraordinarily big thing might happen in the world of marine conservation next month at a meeting in Germany of a little known international commission. And while you probably haven't read much about it, the outcome could see the creation of the two largest areas of protected ocean on the planet that would lock out fishing from more than 1.5 million square kilometres of ocean around the Antarctic. The areas in question – the Ross Sea and coastal areas in East Antarctica – are almost untouched by the often-clumsy hands of human progress and give a home to thousands of marine species. Across the two areas are about a million pairs of Adélie penguins, more than a dozen species of whale, more than a third of the world's population of emperor penguins, abundant krill and fish species and the Ross Sea region's top predator – the toothfish, which can grow to two metres weighing 200 ...

Climate science debate has cost precious time, expert warns	17.6.2013	Guardian: Environment
Commission report says evidence of rapidly changed climate has strengthened Floods, bushfires and this year's scorching summer heatwave have raised awareness of the dangers of climate change, but an "infantile" debate over the validity of the science has cost Australia precious time, according to a key Climate Commission expert. The commission, an independent body that advises the government on climate science , has updated its 2011 The Critical Decade study to analyse the latest findings on climate change and Australia's response to it. The report is likely to be the Climate Commission's last major contribution if, as expected, the Coalition wins power at the 14 September election. Opposition leader Tony Abbott has signalled that he will scrap the commission , along with the carbon price, if he becomes prime minister. The commission's updated analysis states that evidence of a "rapidly changing climate has continued to strengthen over the last two years", including, importantly, the ...

'PetroKoch': an art project for the Metropolitan Museum \| Jeff McMahon	16.6.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
As David Koch gets his name on the Met's new plaza, why not add Detroit's pile of his tar-sands sludge as an installation? In Fall 2014, the David H Koch Plaza at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City will be revealed, the entire $65m project paid for by David H Koch . In the spirit of repurposing, recycling, and synergy, might the Met acknowledge Koch's further contributions by moving the ever-growing black mound of tar-like petroleum coke , owned by Koch and his brother Charles through their company Koch Carbon and currently dumped in Detroit's Assumption Park, to the Met's new Plaza? What more fitting tribute to the Brothers Koch than the gooey byproducts of their billion-dollar industry? What a stunning salute to the American supply chain; another Koch Brother, William, owns Oxbow Corporation, which deals in … petrocoke, a long-lasting reminder that Koch family values have real value. Looking to extend their legacy into perpetuity (such by-products requiring a very long time ...

Vienna embraces the romance and culture of the bicycle	16.6.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Faced with increasingly congested streets, the Austrian capital is embracing cycling with a rental system, bike zones and special housing On the Praterstern, where cars, buses and trams converge from several busy streets on a road that loops around Vienna's central train station, a new digital counter stands under the eye of the Riesenrad Ferris wheel. It's about the size of a bus stop advertising hoarding and picks out passing bicycle wheels from a sensor in the pavement. With a rumpled grey overcoat over his suit and a cycling helmet covering his grey hair, Wolfgang Dvorak excitedly explains that the 2,072 figure on display marks the number of bicycles that have passed this point so far today. "This is great, great! Measuring cyclists is making cycling visible, making people notice," says Dvorak. "It's very important, especially at city crossings like this. Just 14 days ago it was done, and the marking of the cycle lane here and the cycle signing. This is showing people that Vienna is ...
