Allergies: Europe's ragweed pollen counts to quadruple by 2050?

ScienceDaily: Airborne concentrations of common ragweed pollen, a potent allergen, could increase fourfold in Europe by 2050. Researchers believe climate change will be responsible for two thirds of this increase, while the remainder will be due to the plant's spread, as a result of human activity. These estimates by researchers from the CNRS, CEA, INERIS and RNSA , in collaboration with several European institutes, show that it is now necessary to implement coordinated management of this invasive plant on the...

ScienceDaily: U.S. residents' exposure to extreme heat could increase four- to six-fold by mid-century, due to both a warming climate and a population that's growing especially fast in the hottest regions of the country, according to new research. The study, by researchers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the City University of New York (CUNY), highlights the importance of considering societal changes when trying to determine future climate impacts. "Both population change and climate...

Study Finds Sun Belt Population Growth & Warming Climate Could Quadruple Exposure to Extreme Heat
2015-05-18 19:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: A valuable study published this week in Nature Climate Change projects that exposure to extreme heat in the United States is likely to rise enormously by mid century, driven equally by demographic shifts boosting Sun Belt populations and projected changes in heat waves in a warming climate. Seth Borenstein at the Associated Press has written a nice summary of the research, undertaken by a multi-disciplinary team at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., and the City University...
