SCIENCE The Science of Climate Change
"Northern Hemisphere Temperatures During the Past Millennium: Inferences, Uncertainties, and Limitations," Geophysical Research Letters, March 15, 1999, Michael E. Mann, Raymond S. Bradley, and Malcolm K. Hughes * CO2 found acidifying Kansas groundwater (Nov. 2008) * Asian smog masks warming impacts (Nov. 2008) * Scientists detect greenhouse warming in Antarctica (Nov. 2008) * Atmosphere is ripe for climate disaster now (Nov. 2008) * Current warming trend is steepest in 5,000 years (Nov. 2008) * One quarter of land mammals face extinction (Oct. 2008) * Climate change outpacing IPCC projections (Oct. 2008) * Scientists startled by Arctic seabed methane releases (Sept. 2008) * Schellnhuber: Any CO2 over 280 ppm is unsafe (Sept. 2008) * Higher temperatures turn plants to CO2 sources (Sept. 2008) * Warming is disrupting corn pollination patterns (Sept. 2008) * Arctic melt may signal warming is "unstoppable" (Sept. 2008) * Findings link global warming to hurricane intensity (Sept.2008) * Temperatures of last decade unmatched in 1300 years (Sept. 2008) * Scientists astounded by speed of prehistoric deep freeze (Aug. 2008) * Canada loses huge chunk of ice shelf (July, 2008) * Scientists amazed at speed of ancient "climate snaps" (June, 2008) * Hansen: Oil, Coal execs are committing "crimes againt humanity" (June, 2008) * Antarctic iceberg suffocates seals (May, 2008) * Ocean warming is expanding marine "dead zones" (May, 2008) * Warming to spawn fewer -- but more intense -- hurricanes (May, 2008) * Scientists at NASA and other research labs tie more tornadoes to warming (May, 2008) * Tropical insects at risk of warming-driven extinction (May, 2008) * Humans have upset earth's 600,000-year carbon balance (April, 2008) * Warming seen decreasing oxygen levels in oceans (May, 2008) * Models project a 10-year pause in warming (May, 2008) * Pine beetles turn western forests into CO2 source (April, 2008) * Migrating jet stream will lead to more weather extremes (April, 2008) * Ocean carbon saturation could have a 1,500-year impact (April, 2008) * Scientists: World must go zero-carbon -- soon (March, 2008) * Warmer autumns generate more CO2 (Jan. 2008) * Scientists declare 350 ppm a "safe level" of CO2 (Dec. 2007) * NOAA: 2007 was Fifth Warmest on Record (Dec. 2007) * Chief Scientists: "Dangerous warming" is inevitable (Dec. 2007) * More than 200 scientists issue urgent SOS call at Bali (Dec. 2007) * IPCC4: Earth faces rapid, irreversible changes (Nov. 2007) -- IPCC4 cites "Five Reasons for Concern" -- IPCC4: Summary for Policy Makers (wiithout charts and graphics) * UN Declares Earth is in Code Red (Oct. 2007) * Flannery: Danger point arrived faster than expected (Oct. 2007) * Warming is making for a wetter world (Oct. 2007) * IPCC: "Too late" to avoid dangerous climate impacts (Sept. 2007) * Ancient runaway warming was triggered by methane release (Sept. 2007) * Scientists predict new warming spike in two years (Aug. 2007) * Low-level ozone buildup accelerates warming (July, 2007) * Desertification poses major threat to political stability -- UN (June, 2007) * We are at the brink of a "dangerous level of interference" --- Hansen (June, 2007) * Warming drives surge of dengue fever in Southeast Asia (June, 2007) * Caterpillar infestation decimates trees in northeastern US (June, 2007) * Warming progressing three times faster than anticipated (June, 2007) * Climate is flirting with a "tipping point" -- NASA (May, 2007) * Three species go extinct every hour (May, 2007) * Scientists shocked by carbon levels in the Southern Ocean (May, 2007) * Scientists rule out "Day After Tomorrow" scenario (May, 2007)
