How the effects of climate change in one place can radiate all over the world

Washington Post: Its well known that climate change will probably affect some places more severely than others. In general, scientists think developing nations will be hit hardest by such effects as an increase in severe weather events, drought and famine, and a boost in the spread of infectious diseases. But a new study reminds us that the effect of climate change in one place is capable of radiating throughout the rest of the world. The research, which was published Friday in the journal Science Advances, suggests...
Climate Change Can Hurt Globalized Economy too

MedIndia: The analysis by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Columbia University revealed that the susceptibility of the global economic network to workers' heat-stress has doubled in the last decade. 'Climate damages do not only depend on the warming of our planet, but also on the resilience of our societies and economies.' Advertisement It showed for the first time how enhanced connectivity of the global network of supply can amplify production losses, as these losses can be spread...
Scientists turn CO2 into rock to combat climate change

Agence France-Presse: Scientists have turned carbon dioxide into stone in a matter of months by pumping it deep underground, offering a revolutionary new way of storing the greenhouse gas to tackle climate change. The pioneering experiment in Iceland mixed CO{-2}emissions with water and pumped it hundreds of metres underground into volcanic basalt rock where it rapidly turned into a solid. We need to deal with rising carbon emissions. This is the ultimate permanent storage turn them back to stone, said Juerg Matter,...
CO2 from burnt fuel hardens if pumped underground, potentially reversing climate change

RT: An experiment in Iceland has confirmed that carbon dioxide, a major factor in global climate change, can be trapped in basalt rocks. Over 95 percent of CO2 pumped underground near Reykjavik turned into solid carbonate in less than two years. Called CarbFix, the experimental injection of CO2 dissolved in water was described by researchers in a paper published by the Science magazine this week. "This opens another door for getting rid of carbon dioxide or storing carbon dioxide in the subsurface...

'Climate change implicated in France floods'

AFP: Torrential rains which caused flooding in France recently bore the unmistakable fingerprint of climate change, according to research to be submitted to a scientific journal next week. Global warming, especially in the last 50 years, had almost doubled the likelihood of the kind of three-day downpour that burst the banks of the Seine and Loire rivers, they calculated. At the very least, the probability of such an extreme rainfall event had increased by more than 40 per cent. "We found that...
