        Warming Could Thaw Far More Permafrost Than Expected, Study Says</a></b><br>
    <blockquote> InsideClimate News... <br>
      More than 40 percent of the world's permafrost - landscape covered
      in frozen soil - is at risk of thawing even if the world succeeds
      in limiting global warming to the international goal of 2 degrees
      Celsius, according to a new study...<br>
      Currently, permafrost covers about nearly 5.8 million square
      miles, and scientists found as much as 2.5 million square miles of
      that could thaw - about twice the area of Alaska, California and
      Texas combined - in a 2 degree Celsius scenario. Thawing would be
      more limited if warming can be held to 1.5 degrees Celsius, but
      could still affect 1.8 million square miles...<br>
      The new research was published Monday in the journal Nature
      Climate Change....<br>
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.nature.com/nclimate/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nclimate3262.html">http://www.nature.com/nclimate/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nclimate3262.html</a><br>

        observation-based constraint on permafrost loss as a function of
        global warming</a><br>
      Permafrost, which covers 15 million km2 of the land surface, is
      one of the components of the Earth system that is most sensitive
      to warming. Loss of permafrost would radically change
      high-latitude hydrology and biogeochemical cycling, and could
      therefore provide very significant feedbacks on climate change<br>

        permafrost thaw can be limited by ambitious climate targets</a><br>
      Global warming will thaw about 20% more permafrost than previously
      thought, scientists have warned - potentially releasing
      significant amounts of greenhouse gases into the Earth's
      atmosphere...<br>
      A new international research study, including climate change
      experts from the University of Leeds, University of Exeter and the
      Met Office, reveals that permafrost is more sensitive to the
      effects of global warming than previously thought.<br>
      The study, published today in Nature Climate Change, suggests that
      nearly 4 million square kilometres of frozen soil - an area larger
      than India - could be lost for every additional degree of global
      warming experienced...<br>
      Permafrost is frozen soil that has been at a temperature of below
      0ºC for at least two years. Large quantities of carbon are stored
      in organic matter trapped in the icy permafrost soils. When
      permafrost thaws the organic matter starts to decompose, releasing
      greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane which increase
      global temperatures...<br>
      It is estimated that there is more carbon contained in the frozen
      permafrost than is currently in the atmosphere...<br>

    <blockquote> Examples from the "Building a Climate-Resilient City"
      research series<br>
      The Building a Climate-Resilient City series was prepared for the
      City of Edmonton and the City of Calgary by the Prairie Climate
      Centre, a collaboration between the University of Winnipeg and the
      International Institute for Sustainable Development...<br>
      Climate change will have serious impacts for cities. In coming
      decades, building resilience will be essential urban policy and a
      smart investment for cities...<br>
      And while many cities are already beginning to build resilience in
      response to emerging threats associated with climate change, the
      strategies they are adopting are often win-win results, making
      them healthier, more attractive places to live and do business.
      Resilience is brandable, and demonstrates of city’s willingness to
      embrace innovation culture...<br>
      In a new series of research papers commissioned by the Canadian
      cities Edmonton and Calgary, we explore themes related to building
      climate-resilient cities. Here are eight examples of actions
      cities can take to foster resilience.<br>

      Shiloh Fetzek, Senior Fellow for International Affairs<br>
      The Planetary Security Initiative and the Center for Climate and
      Security (CCS) have recently co-published a policy brief titled
      "Why and how to use foresight tools to manage climate security
      risks." The brief relates to the Working Group on foresight tools
      CCS organized at the 2016 Planetary Security Conference.<br>
      Assessing climate security risks can be challenging, as there are
      significant and multi-faceted uncertainties involved. For
      practitioners looking for conceptual approaches to understanding
      and evaluating such risks, foresight tools offer a practical
      toolset for formulating robust responses, even in the context of
      significant uncertainty.<br>

      such<br>
      a close relationship with another foreign power as President
      [George<br>
      W.] Bush and his father have had with the Saudi royal family, the<br>
      House of Saud. I have traced more than $1.4 billion in investments

      contracts that went from the House of Saud over the past 20 years

      positions -- Harken Energy, Halliburton, and the Carlyle Group
      among<br>
      them. Is it possible that President Bush himself played a role in<br>
