In view of the dire predictions by scientists around the world, Kerala must brace itself up to face the challenges of climate change. K.G. Kumar
Rich nations are diverting aid from other causes to pay to help poor countries fight the growing impact of climate change, according to a new Oxfam report on Wednesday. However, this will soon prove counterproductive and at least 4.5 million children could die unless additional funds are passed to developing and least developed nations to tackle climate change.

Feedbacks on climate change so far identified are predominantly positive, enhancing the rate of change. Loss of sea-ice, increase in desert areas, water vapour increase, loss of tropical rain forest and the restriction of significant areas of marine productivity to higher latitude (thus smaller geographical zones) all lead to an enhancement of the rate of change.
Generating credible climate change and extremes projections remains a high-priority challenge, especially since recent observed emissions are above the worst-case scenario. Bias and uncertainty analyses of ensemble simulations from a global earth systems model show increased warming and more intense heat waves
Arabian Sea cyclones increasing in number, intensity the Arabian Sea, which has warmed by 0.5o C over the past nine decades, is experiencing a shift in its climate. So much so that intense cyclones with wind speed of more than 100 km per hour have become frequent, said a team of marine scientists led by the National Institute of Oceanography (nio), Goa. The scientists analyzed 37
Models assessing the impact of climate change on malaria rely on mean monthly temperatures. A team led by Krijn P Paajimans from the Centre of Infectious Diseases Dynamics, Pennsylvania State University, USA, demonstrated the role daily temperature fluctuations play. The malaria parasite
