Researchers discover climate change effects earlier springs, drier summers
A collaborative study between researchers at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and Beijing's Peking University has found that climate change may be causing springs to arrive earlier, which in turn might lead to a much drier and hotter summer climate in the northern hemisphere, raising maximum summer temperatures by 0.07 Celsius per decade.

Global CO2 emissions from the power sector experience the largest drop since 1990
Global Carbon Dioxide emissions from the power sector dropped by 2% last year, making it the largest drop since 1990. This dip occurred due to the reduction in coal usage in Europe and the United States. Although coal usage in China rose by a large amount as the country became responsible for half the world's coal-fired power generation.

Scientists baffled by new climate model predictions
Scientists have been inputting global data into large simulations of the Earth's climate for some time and up until this point they had all agreed on how much pollution it would take to raise the planet's temperature by 3 degrees. Recently however different models have begun predicting a five-degree increase for the same amount of pollution. Meaning it will take much less pollution to destroy the planet than previously thought.
