Forest ecologist sees climate consequences
Many people worry about the link between rising bark-beetle infestations and an increase in western wildfires. But Dr. Susan Prichard, a Research Scientist at the University of Washington, adds another concern: what happens after the fires go out? view more (2009-09-15)
Common garden plant threatened by climate change
Cyclamen, a common, pretty garden flower, is at risk of extinction because of climate change. In a study published today in the open access journal BMC Evolutionary Biology (http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcevolbiol/), researchers show, using mathematical modelling, that the ideal climate for Cyclamen will become increasingly rare and might have... view more...

Commission Organises European Climate Science Conference - Vienna, 19-23 October 1998
The conference has been organised by the European Commission and the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science and Transport, and will be opened by Dr. Einem, the Austrian Minister of Science and Transport, and Prof. Routti, Director-General of DG XII. It will bring together climate change projects funded within the Environment and Climate Programme... view more... (1998-10-16)
Counting sheep in climate change predictions
Climate change can have devastating effects on endangered species, but new mathematical models may be able to aid conservation of a population of bighorn sheep. view more (2009-06-01)
Global Cooperation needed on Climate Change
Climate change negotiators meeting next week in Marrakech need to build a global coalition to enhance the adaptation ability already shown by communities vulnerable to climate change. "The impacts of climate change are significant whether you herd goats in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco or work in a river-side office block in central London," says... view more... (2001-10-23)
First British Glacial Map to predict future climate change
An academic from the University of Sheffield has produced the first glacial map of Britain, which could allow us to better predict climate change in the future. The map is published in the latest edition of the journal Boreas. view more (2004-11-23)
New research detects human-induced climate change at a regional scale
Canadian and British climate scientists have clearly detected human-induced climate change at a regional scale in Canada, southern Europe and China. view more (2006-09-22)
Report - adapting farming to climate change
CSIRO today released a national overview of climate change impacts and adaptation options for Australian agriculture. view more (2008-06-26)
Argonne National Laboratory plays key role in new climate simulations
The Model Coupling Toolkit created by the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory played a key role in the climate simulations used in preparing the new U.N. report "Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis." view more (2007-02-16)
Natural climate change may be larger than commonly thought
A new study of climate in the Northern Hemisphere for the past 2000 years shows that natural climate change may be larger than generally thought. This is displayed in results from scientists at the Stockholm University, made in cooperation with Russian scientists, which are published in Nature on 10 Feb 2005. view more (2005-02-09)
Something new under the Sun
That plants grow better if grown in a greenhouse in the correct climate is nothing new. Dutch researcher Rachel van Ooteghem has designed a control system for an improved solar greenhouse that yields more. view more (2007-01-31)
Time to lift the geoengineering taboo
Hot on the heels of the Royal Society's Geoengineering the Climate report, September's Physics World contains feature comment from UK experts stressing the need to start taking geoengineering - deliberate interventions in the climate system to counteract man-made global warming - more seriously. view more (2009-09-01)
Time series identify population responses to climate change
Biologists have for several years modeled how different species are likely to respond to climate change. Most such studies ignore differences between populations within a species and the interactions between species, in the interest of simplicity. view more (2009-06-01)
Federal government should give greater support to decision makers coping with climate change
Many state and local officials and private organizations are basing decisions -- such as how to build bridges or manage water supplies -- on the assumption that current climate conditions will continue, but that assumption is no longer valid. view more (2009-03-13)
Climate warming and habitat loss threaten British Butterfly survival
Because butterflies are cold blooded, their growth and development are closely dependent on the weather and climate. When climates change insects can either shift breeding distributions to track it, stay put and adapt, or die out. Since the 1970s, climate warming in Britain has seen almost 20% of butterflies spread their ranges northwards,... view more... (2003-06-05)
Media coverage affects perceptions of climate change
Climate change will not be taken seriously until the media highlights its significance, say researchers at the University of Liverpool. view more (2009-02-25)
Models look good when predicting climate change
The accuracy of computer models that predict climate change over the coming decades has been the subject of debate among politicians, environmentalists and even scientists. view more (2008-04-03)
Climate change may wake up 'sleeper' weeds
Climate change will cause some of Australia's potential weeds to move south by up to 1000km, according to a report by scientists at CSIRO's Climate Adaptation Flagship. view more (2009-04-15)
New markers of climate change
A new way to monitor the effects of climate change on rainforests is being investigated at Cambridge University. Researchers are using biomarkers in the shape of epiphytes ('air-plants' which grow on other plants) to find out how their photosynthesis and water evaporation have been affected by climate change over the last 50 years. view more (2005-07-13)
Fresh air for air passengers
Air travellers rarely think about the indoor climate in airport terminals, or about the kitchens where their in-flight meals are prepared. These catering centres are vast, busy facilities, often located in hot, humid climates - posing a challenge to ventilation systems. Air distribution in public areas of airports is another crucial, demanding... view more... (2005-04-07)
