Guardian: Some of the world's top climate scientists say wind and solar energy won't be enough to head off extreme global warming, and they're asking environmentalists to support the development of safer nuclear power as one way to cut fossil fuel pollution. Four scientists who have played a key role in alerting the public to the dangers of climate change sent letters Sunday to leading environmental groups and politicians around the world. The letter, an advance copy of which was given to the Associated...

Scientists warn of big effects from climate change by 2047

Herald: Climate change will arrive soon in South Carolina. Or maybe not -- if people act sensibly worldwide to do something to prevent it. A recent study concluded that by 2047, average yearly temperatures in South Carolina will be consistently higher than in any year since 1860 because of climate change. If emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases continue to increase worldwide, South Carolina's climate would be subtropical by that year. Some might not be alarmed that South Carolina might have...

Science Daily: When scientists attempt to understand how climate change might reshape our environment, they must grapple with the seemingly endless complexity of interacting systems. For those considering the likely fate of particular species, there is now a relatively simple rule of thumb to help calculate the likely effect of climate change where species interact. "A lot of the discussion about climate change focuses on the fate of individual, iconic species, but to evaluate the effects of future environmental...
