Climate Change Could Equal Teeth-Rattling Flights

National Public Radio: Buckle up - climate change could make this a bumpy flight. That's according to a newly published study by two British scientists who say increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere will make "clear air turbulence" - which can't be easily spotted by pilots or satellites - more common over the North Atlantic. That means the potential for gut-wrenching flights between the U.S., Europe and points east. According to Scientific American, researchers Paul D. Williams and Manoj M. Joshi, "used computer...

Rapid climate change and the role of the Southern Ocean

ScienceDaily: Scientists from Cardiff University and the University of Barcelona have discovered new clues about past rapid climate change. The research, published this month in the journal Nature Geoscience, concludes that oceanographic reorganisations and biological processes are linked to the supply of airborne dust in the Southern Ocean and this connection played a key role in past rapid fluctuations of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, an important component in the climate system. The scientists studied...

Climate change deniers driven by dogma

Capital Times: Ah, northern Wisconsin, the land of pines and lofty balsams, as the old Hamms Beer song extolled. Turns out those trees will soon be mowed down by climate change, according to a nationally respected forest ecologist. Its tempting to say serves you right to climate change deniers up north -- including elected officials like state Sen. Tom Tiffany and U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy -- but the indisputable evidence of ecosystem upheaval is too serious for that. Tiffany, of Hazelhurst, fancies himself...

US Moves Toward Teaching Climate Change; Britain Does the Opposite

New York Times: New science teaching standards in the United States will include extensive lessons on human-made climate change. Expected to be unveiled this week, the guidelines will bring the subject to classrooms in up to 40 states, in many cases for the first time. Eighth-grade pupils should understand that "human activities, such as the release of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, are major factors in the current rise in Earths mean surface temperature (global warming)," according to the Next...

Climate Change to Worsen Hunger Problem in Nigeria, Others

This Day Live: West African policy makers should prepare for future challenges from climate change as they address the pressing needs of broad-based economic growth and tackle hunger issues, the International Food Policy Institute (IFPRI) has said. IFPRI expressed worries that although maize, millet, rice, and sorghum are the major cereal crops in Nigeria and the West Africa region, the yields from these crops are very low compared to the world average and even other regions in Africa. According to IFPRI,...
