Hunterdon County Democrat: PSE&G wants to spend a staggering $4 billion over the next decade to harden its electric and gas systems against the impact of severe storms like Sandy and Irene, a sum that works out to about $500 per person in New Jersey. "This is a cost of climate change, pure and simple," says Jeanne Fox, a commissioner on the Board of Public Utilities, which oversees the utilities.

These butterflies, which fly 2,000 miles south from North America to the mountains of Mexico every fall and back again in the spring, would simply keep flying south if they didn't feel chilly winter weather, researchers found. The study was published Feb. 21 in the journal Current Biology. "The monarchs need the thermal microenvironment at the overwintering sites...

ScienceDaily: The study's insights are based on a novel approach by Eric Post, a Penn State University professor of biology, who simulated climate change and integrated the effects of large, plant-eating mammals in a 10-year arctic field experiment. The results of the research suggest that plant communities in the Arctic are more likely to resist destabilization by climate change if populations of caribou, musk ox, and other large herbivores remain intact. "The study demonstrates that grazing by these large herbivores...
