Conversation: We now know that greenhouse gases are rising faster than at any time since the demise of dinosaurs, and possibly even earlier. According to research published in Nature Geoscience this week, carbon dioxide (CO2) is being added to the atmosphere at least ten times faster than during a major warming event about 50 million years ago. We have emitted almost 600 billion tonnes of carbon since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, and atmospheric CO2 concentrations are now increasing at a rate of...

Climate change might be good news for French wine until it isn't

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...
