China faces inclement weather this year
"The situation is urgent. Temperatures in most areas will be higher this year than in previous years, and typhoons are expected to arrive in larger numbers than last year"
http://www.mwr.gov.cn/english/20070510/83857.asp

NASA - U.S. may face extreme summer temperatures
"extreme seasons – when precipitation falls infrequently – July and August daily high temperatures could average between 100 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit in cities such as Chicago, Washington, and Atlanta"
http://news.mongabay.com/2007/0509-hot.html

Simulated impacts of climate and land-cover change on soil erosion and implication for the carbon cycle, 1901 to 2100
"During the second phase, both projected rainfall and land-use changes affected the erosion regime in many regions. Consequently, the total amount of soil carbon displacement increased by 32–57%, implying an intensified vulnerability to soil loss and further perturbations in the carbon cycle"

Abrupt Climate Change: Causes and Ecosystem Responses
"U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists who study trends in climate change will be presenting the results from new studies at a workshop held in Pacific Grove, California, May 13-16, 2007"

Climate change consequences on the biome distribution in tropical South America
"In both scenarios, the results indicate reduction of tropical forest cover areas which would be replaced by savannas"
http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2007/2 ... 9695.shtml

Confirmed: Deforestation Plays Critical Climate Change Role
“The new body of information shows considerable value in preserving tropical forests such as those in the Amazon and Indonesia as carbon sinks, that they do not release the carbon back into the atmosphere as has been suggested.... However, it also demonstrates the need to avoid higher levels of global warming, which could slow the ability of forests to accumulate carbon”
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 100918.htm

Defining the climatic signal in stream salinity trends using the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation and its rate of change
"The impact of landuse on stream salinity is currently difficult to separate from the effect of climate, as the decadal scale climatic cycles in groundwater and stream hydrology have similar wavelengths to the landuse pattern. These hydrological cycles determine the stream salinity through accumulation or release of salt in the landscape. Widespread patterns apparent in stream salinity are discussed, and a link is demonstrated between stream salinity, groundwater levels and global climatic indicators"

It is expected to discover hundreds of thousands of new celestial objects, such as extra-solar planets and failed stars called brown dwarfs. Within our own Solar System, Gaia should also identify tens of thousands of asteroids"

Nanotechnology is likely to be part of an overall package to deliver an environmental benefit. Therefore the focus has been on environmental needs and how nanotechnology can address those needs.

The Climate Change Scientist: Questions for Richard Somerville
"I'd like to know more about this issue of tipping points. There's a lot of indications that the climate system is capable of moving in abrupt, sudden jerks. That it's not just going to react gradually as you push on it harder and harder. The analogy in recent past is the ozone hole, which wasn't predicted. What was predicted was that putting chemicals in the stratosphere that destroy ozone would lead to a gradual decrease in ozone. The ozone hole was a completely unexpected and serendipitous discovery. The discovery of this sudden, shocking, smoking gun galvanized action"

One more study estimated that the glacier retreated 12.10 metres during 2004-05, another example of global warming and climate change. Agencies conducting regular monitoring of several glaciers during the past 100 years in major basins of Himalayas from Shyok in the west to Changme Khangpu (Tista) in the East have revealed that a majority of the glaciers in the Himalayan region are passing through a phase of recession"

They've had billions of years to do it. But especially during the earliest period of biological evolution on this planet.

"We have analyzed a suite of state-of-the-art climate model simulations, and show that anthropogenic warming of the upper ocean produces a detectable speed-up of low-latitude North Pacific oceanic planetary waves by the end of the 20th century. The projected percent increase in propagation speed for the end of the 21st century is about 35% (relative to pre-industrial) following one of the standard emissions scenarios from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This remarkable simulated effect of oceanic warming on planetary wave propagation speed portends important observed change in interannual climate variability"
