PhysOrg: A small team of researchers from the U.S. and France has found evidence of cycles of Saharan dust movement into the atmosphere in the past and has used the information they gathered to predict dust level changes heading into the future. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the team describes the nature of their study and why they believe changes in the Sahara could mean more potent Atlantic storms in the future. Wind pulling dust into the atmosphere from the Saharan desert has more...

NYC could be underwater in decades according to new climate change report

TimeOut: A paper released yesterday by the European science journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics argues that climate change may be accelerating at a much faster rate than previously thought. The scientists argue that sea levels could increase by so much over the next hundred years that coastal cities like New York, London, Rio de Janeiro and Shanghai could be underwater by 2100. The report points to the Eemian period, which took place 120,000 years ago, when the Earth's oceans were six to nine...

Washington Post: Global warming might just make certain wines tastier, according to a new study -- at least until we reach a temperature tipping point that wrecks it all. In a study published Monday in Nature Climate Change, researchers from Harvard and NASA suggest that global warming is making early harvests of French wine grapes -- harvests associated with higher quality wines, where grapes have just the right balance of acid and sugar -- more frequent. There are two big points in this paper, the first...
US, Argentina take steps to tackle climate change

Reuters: U.S. President Barack Obama and Argentina's President Mauricio Macri agreed on Wednesday to take joint steps to fight climate change including working to cut carbon emissions from air flights and integrating solar and wind power into electricity grids. Obama is visiting Argentina for two days to reset diplomatic relations and strengthen trade ties, marking a rapprochement after more than a decade of sour relations. The two countries committed to signing last year's Paris global climate agreement...
