Forests Fight with Water Shortages

Adrian — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 10:32:09 +0000

Forests have been the place where we believe our ancestors lived since time immemorial. I have a technical background and I plead for simple and effective measures to improve the quality of the environment by few simple measures. It is clear that the industry can no longer remain in the middle ages with the steam […]

Coronavirus and the effects on climate change

Adrian — Thu, 16 Apr 2020 23:21:19 +0000

The spread of Coronavirus has stopped many field research projects, even those that referred to the effects of climate change, while to other researchers gave them the opportunity to find new research topics that could find parallels with the current climate crises and the lessons to be learned. Coronavirus pandemic and the new carbon economyBecause […]

Atmospheric warming altering ocean salinity and the water cycle

Gabriel — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 18:37:51 +0000

A clear change in salinity has been detected in the world’s oceans, signaling shifts and acceleration in the global rainfall and evaporation cycle tied directly to climate change. Lead author Paul Durack said that by looking at observed ocean salinity changes and the relationship between salinity, rainfall and evaporation in climate models, they determined the […]

The effects of climate change in the Arctic

Gabriel — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:26:05 +0000

Two decades after the United Nations established the Framework Convention on Climate Change in order to “prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system”, the Arctic shows the first signs of a dangerous climate change. A team of researchers led by CSIC assures so in an article published on the latest number of the Nature […]

The biodiversity crisis: Worse than climate change

Gabriel — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:27:21 +0000

Biodiversity is declining rapidly throughout the world. The challenges of conserving the world’s species are perhaps even larger than mitigating the negative effects of global climate change. Dealing with the biodiversity crisis requires political will and needs to be based on a solid scientific knowledge if we are to ensure a safe future for the […]

Climate balancing: sea-level rise vs. surface temperature change rates

Gabriel — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:13:27 +0000

Engineering our way out of global climate warming may not be as easy as simply reducing the incoming solar energy, according to a team of University of Bristol and Penn State climate scientists. Designing the approach to control both sea level rise and rates of surface air temperature changes requires a balancing act to accommodate […]

Europe’s birds and climate change

Gabriel — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:23:52 +0000

For the past 20 years, the climate in Europe has been getting warmer. Species of bird and butterfly which thrive in cool temperatures therefore need to move further north. However, they have difficulty adapting to the warmer climate quickly enough, as shown by new research published in the journal Nature Climate Change. Åke Lindström is […]

The new ice age could start in the next millennium

Gabriel — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:08:53 +0000

Research shows that a new ice age could well have been upon us in the next millennium were it not for increases in CO2 due to humans, despite the advantageous trend in solar radiation of our current age. In terms of the ebb and flow of the Earth’s climate over the course of its history, […]

Low carbon future for cities

Gabriel — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:48:00 +0000

Investing 2% of a modern city’s GDP in low carbon and energy efficient opportunities for ten years would reduce that city’s carbon emission levels by 40% at no net cost. That is according to research commissioned by the Centre for Low Carbon Futures (CLCF) and presented at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Durban […]

Grant will help farmers deal with changes to climates

Gabriel — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 20:55:54 +0000

Purdue University researchers will get a $5 million grant to develop decision-support tools to help corn and soybean growers adapt their practices to changes in climate. “Today’s agricultural producers are able to grow more food on fewer acres of land to sustain a growing population,” said Purdue President France A. Córdova. “Successfully meeting this challenge […]
