More than 600 self-professed climate skeptics are meeting in New York this week to challenge what has become a broad scientific and political consensus: that without big changes in energy choices, humans will dangerously heat up the planet.
Despite huge obstacles, political forces in Washington may finally get greenhouse-gas legislation moving.

Until recently, the idea that the world's most powerful nations might come together to tackle global warming seemed an environmentalist's pipe dream.
China's rapid economic growth has been causing shortage of water resources in the North China and also has been leading to shortage of power in the coastal areas of East China. Therefore it began to execute the water right transfer policy from the agricultural sector to the power generation industry. In North China, power production mostly uses the coal.
Ahmedabad : "What was a mere possibility earlier, now has become a grim reality." This was the common message sent across by speakers on the perils of global warming and climate change at an interactive session held on the subject at CEPT auditorium on Saturday.
Participants at a scientific conference held in Copenhagen in March were shocked to hear new, much higher estimates for likely sea-level rise and rainforest loss that could lead to trees emitting more carbon than they store.

Hydro-climatic disasters are responsible for the serious disruption of the functioning of a society or community and widespread human, material or environmental losses. These disasters and the communities exposed to them may be expected to climb with increased climate variability as a result of climate change.
This report addresses the question of the relationship between the level of emission reductions to be undertaken by the United States by 2020 and the risk of exceeding a global 2

Data from multiple ocean basins elucidate an ancient climate transition from greenhouse to icehouse.
chemical sciences Sugars preserve organs longer Growth of ice crystals during organ preservation at low temperatures leaves them unfit for transplantation. Several carbohydrates have the ability to prevent the growth of ice crystals. This ability correlates with the hydration number which is the number of water molecules bound to one carbohydrate molecule. A team of scientists
<p>Some of the Arabian Gulf states are busy developing several large, reclaimed islands and offshore townships. These structures are undoubtedly futuristic and the ideas are quite novel. However, there are serious issues of long-term sustainability of these townships.</p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.currentscience.ac.in/Downloads/article_id_096_04_0480_0485_0.pdf" target="_blank">Original Source</a></strong></p>
Global warming is likely to push cold-blooded animals to the limit of their ability to regulate their temperature, a model suggests. http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126964.800-lizards-will-roast-in-a-warming-world.html
Increasing concern about the impacts of global warming on biodiversity has stimulated extensive discussion, but methods to translate broad-scale shifts in climate into direct impacts on living animals remain simplistic. A key missing element from models of climatic change impacts on animals is the buffering influence of behavioral thermoregulation.
