Cyclist death: woman killed in Victoria lorry crash was world respected climate change scientist - LondonIt is the second tragedy to hit the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling after its director Professor Seymour Laxon died aged 49 after falling down a flight of stairs in the early hours of New Year’s Day, hitting his head and suffering a massive brain haemorrhage. Dr Giles had been earmarked as his successor.
A statement to colleagues from Professor Shepherd and Professor Duncan Wingham said: “Coming so soon after the accidental death of Katharine’s own closest colleague, Seymour Laxon, we are left with a sense of the outrageous unfairness with which our best colleagues have been taken from us.”
2008: Big decline in depth of Arctic winter sea ice | Environment | The GuardianHowever, Katharine Giles of the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling at University College London, who led the study, said it was too soon to say whether the downward trend would continue and lead to summer sea ice disappearing even faster than forecast. "It's dangerous to extrapolate out because colder weather would mean the ice could recover again," said Giles. "This data will help climate modellers to validate their models and make them more accurate."

Nike, Starbucks: Betting against climate scientists is ‘false hope’ - The Hill's E2-WireA corporate coalition that includes big clothing and food companies says in a new joint statement that confronting global warming is “one of America's greatest economic opportunities of the 21st century.”
They're also offering a warning to climate skeptics.

"I May Be a Republican. I'm Not an Idiot." | Mother JonesLancaster, California is the state's 30th largest city, with a population of more than 150,000. Its Republican mayor, class-action attorney and alleged "unstoppable control freak" R. Rex Parris, has big plans for solar and clean energy. Lancaster requires virtually all new homes to either install solar panels or be built in subdivisions that generate a kilowatt of solar energy per house. The mandate is the first of its kind in the United States.
When asked by New York Times reporter Felicity Barringer if he views global warming as an imminent threat, Parris replied "absolutely." He continued: "I may be a Republican. I'm not an idiot."
...In a ClimateWire story published last month, he is quoted as describing climate change as the biggest threat to the planet: "There isn't any greater crisis facing the world today. We're going to see the displacement of millions and millions of people. Whether we can survive the wars that that's going to cause is an open question."
