[BEIJING] Global warming could cause plants in northern regions to lose carbon to the atmosphere rather than sequester it, according to a new international study.
The research, published in Nature yesterday (3 January), looked at atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and carbon dioxide held in [...]

A trend that has already helped accelerate the spread of certain infectious diseases - the northward movement of tropical regions - could become much worse as global warming continues to intensify. In a recently published article in the journal Nature Geoscience, Dian Seidel of NOAA and her colleagues write about signs they observed in the [...]

ScienceDaily (Nov. 30, 2007) — As the world warms, the interaction between the Atlantic Ocean and atmosphere may be the recipe for stronger, more frequent hurricanes.
University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists have found that the Atlantic organizes the ingredients for a powerful hurricane season to create a situation where either everything is conducive to hurricane activity or [...]

ScienceDaily (Nov. 8, 2007) — Taking a page from Nature herself, a team of researchers developed a method to enhance removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and place it in the Earth’s oceans for storage.
Unlike other proposed ocean sequestration processes, the new technology does not make the oceans more acid and may be beneficial [...]

The Carbon Crisis. By Bill McKibben, The National Geographic Magazine, October, 2007 issue. “It’s impossible to precisely predict the consequences of any further increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. But the warming we’ve seen so far has started almost everything frozen on Earth to melting; it has changed seasons and rainfall patterns; [...]
