Gauging the impact of climate change on US agriculture
2016-07-07 23:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
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...

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.
