New insights into cloud formationScienceDaily.com | 05 Mar 2012Clouds have a profound effect on the climate, but we know surprisingly little about how they form. Researcher have studied how extremely small cloud particles can dispose of excess energy. This knowledge is necessary to understand processes in the atmosphere that affect global climate change.
Climate Change The Blue Planet's new water budget: Do we have enough?ScienceDaily.com | 05 Mar 2012Investigating the history of water on Earth is critical to understanding the planet's climate. One central question is whether Earth has always had the same amount of water on and surrounding it, the same so-called "water budget". Has Earth gained or lost water from comets and meteorites? Has water been lost into space? New research into the Earth's primordial oceans revisits Earth's historical water budget.
Climate Change Warming of two degrees inevitable over Canada, experts sayScienceDaily.com | 05 Mar 2012Even if zero emissions of greenhouse gases were to be achieved, the world's temperature would continue to rise by about a quarter of a degree over a decade. That's a best-case scenario, according to a new article. Experts urge the public, governments and industries to wake up to a harsh new reality.
Climate Change In forests, past disturbances obscure warming impactsScienceDaily.com | 05 Mar 2012Past disturbances, such as logging, can obscure the effects of climate change on forest ecosystems. So reports a new study. The article, exploring nitrogen dynamics, found that untangling climate impacts from other factors can be difficult, even when scientists have access to decades of data on a forest's environmental conditions.
Climate Change Ice hockey feels the heat in CanadaScienceDaily.com | 05 Mar 2012The future of Canadian outdoor ice hockey - a sport synonymous with the country's culture – is being threatened by anthropogenic climate change, new research suggests. As warmer winter temperatures restrict ice from freezing over, researchers believe the ice hockey stars of the future will have...
