Cocoa bags are seen in a warehouse in GonateLONDON (Reuters) - Possible El Nino weather conditions later this year could exacerbate a potential global cocoa deficit in the coming 2012/13 season, causing prices to climb, the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) said. "We know that when we have El Nino conditions it's likely that this will impact negatively on world cocoa production. We would have less production and this would have an impact on price," ICCO statistician Laurent Pipitone told Reuters. ...

  • About 750,000 households escape fuel poverty in 2010

  • LONDON (Reuters) - About 750,000 households were lifted out of fuel poverty in 2010 due to rising incomes among cash-strapped consumers and lower consumption following the roll out of energy efficient boilers, helped by stable energy prices, the government said. The latest report on fuel poverty statistics by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) shows that the number of households spending over 10 percent of total income on warmth fell from 5.5 million in 2009 to 4.75 million in 2010. ...

This NOAA satellite image taken Sunday, May 13, 2012 at 1:45 a.m. EDT shows clouds cover the Eastern US as a low pressure system moves through the Southeastern US and a cold front slides across the Great Lakes and Northeastern US. This kicks up widespread showers and thunderstorms across most of the Eastern US. Meanwhile, another low pressure system develops over northern Texas, producing scattered thunderstorms over the Southern Plains.

Steve Randle, a software engineer during the work-week, pours freshly made maple syrup in the finishing pan at Hollis Hills Farm in LunenburgLITTLETON, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Bad news for waffle lovers. Historic warmth in March slashed this year's U.S. maple syrup output as much as 40 percent as sugar maple trees, which need freezing temperatures at night to sustain sap production, dried up early or largely produced bad-tasting syrup. In the Northeast, where nearly all U.S. maple syrup is produced, sugarmakers traditionally gather sap from maple trees during a six-week season from late February to early April before buds appear on the trees. The 2012 season was cut short by the warmest March on record. ...

  • LONDON (Reuters) - British scientists have abandoned an experiment to test the possibility of spraying particles into the upper atmosphere to stem global warming, largely due to concerns over a patent for some of the technology, the project's leader said. Scientists and engineers from the universities of Bristol, Cambridge and Oxford are behind a three-year, 1.6 million pound ($2.5 million) geo-engineering project called Stratospheric Particle Injection for Climate Engineering (SPICE). ...
