Gauging the impact of climate change on US agriculture

MIT News: To assess the likely impact of climate change on U.S. agriculture, researchers typically run a combination of climate and crop models that project how yields of maize, wheat, and other key crops will change over time. But the suite of models commonly used in these simulations, which account for a wide range of uncertainty, produces outcomes that can range from substantial crop losses to bountiful harvests. These mixed results often leave farmers and other agricultural stakeholders perplexed as to...

Phys.Org: A crescendo of scientific studies paints an alarming picture of the human suffering in store due to disrupted weather patterns, rising seas, droughts and climate-enhanced superstorms The world should brace for potentially devastating impacts on human health due to climate change, top policy makers and officials from around the globe meeting in Paris said Thursday. Some of these consequences may be avoided if humanity radically curbs its use of fossil fuels in coming decades, but many are...

Phys.Org: Hundreds of deaths in two cities in 2003 heatwave due to man-made climate change: study Scientists have specified how many deaths can be attributed to man-made climate change during an extreme heatwave in two European cities in 2003. They calculate that in Paris, the hottest city in Europe during the heatwave in summer 2003, 506 out of 735 summer deaths recorded in the French capital were due to a heatwave made worse by man-made climate change. The impact of climate change was less severe in London,...

MPR News: Tuesday's storm was something else -- or was it? Cleanup continues in the Twin Cities following Tuesday's severe thunderstorms, and forecasts show there could be more severe weather in parts of the state Thursday. The rain came down hard enough to put some stormwater sewers at capacity. "Yep, this is what happens in summer in Minnesota," said assistant state climatologist Pete Boulay of the storms. The rain was intense and caused some minor street flooding. But it was also a welcome relief...
