Weather Extremes Challenge Corn Nitrogen Management
2013-08-01 17:03:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
The nitrogen conundrum | Weather extremes challenge practical corn fertility strategies Nitrogen management is entirely about risk management, especially this year. Theres an economic risk of wasting money and being seen as environmentally reckless by applying too much N, and a risk of corn yield loss from applying too little, says Dan Frieberg, president of Premier Crop Systems, LLC, in West Des Moines, Iowa. But theres also a risk thats not talked about much allowing nitrogen-management decisions to adversely affect other crop-production operations. read more

Methane Released by Arctic Melting Could Cost the World $60 Trillion in Climate Extremes
2013-07-25 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: The costs resulting from methane released by melting Arctic ice could equal $60 trillion, or roughly a year of global economic output, according to a paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Trapped within the East Siberian Arctic Shelf is an estimated 50 gigatons of the known greenhouse gas that is expected, according to the scientists, to be released either suddenly or gradually over the next half century based on how quickly the ice melts. Either way, the researchers, who hail from...
Unprecedented extremes and warmest decade since modern measurements

Independent: The past 10 years were the warmest since the start of modern measurements 160 years ago and it was also a decade of unprecedented extremes in the climate according to a report by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO). Heatwaves in Europe and Russia, hurricane Katrina in the United States, tropical cyclones in South East Asia, droughts in the Amazon, Australia and East Africa and floods in Pakistan were all features of the last decade indicating a shift in the climate, the WMO said. Both...

Climate News Network: If you think the world is warming and the weather getting nastier, you're right, according to the United Nations agency committed to understanding weather and climate. The World Meteorological Organization says the planet "experienced unprecedented high-impact climate extremes" in the ten years from 2001 to 2010, the warmest decade since the start of modern measurements in 1850. Those ten years also continued an extended period of accelerating global warming, with more national temperature records...

World suffered unprecedented climate extremes in past decade: WMO
2013-07-03 13:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The world suffered unprecedented climate extremes in the decade to 2010, from heatwaves in Europe and droughts in Australia to floods in Pakistan, against a backdrop of global warming, a United Nations report said on Wednesday. Every year of the decade except 2008 was among the 10 warmest since records began in the 1850s, with 2010 the hottest, according to the study by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The number of daily heat records far outstripped lows. It said many extremes...
