Dust may dampen hurricane fury
After more than a dozen hurricanes battered the Atlantic Ocean last year, scientists are wondering what-if anything-might be causing stronger and more frequent storms.   view more (2006-10-10)

Health professionals must help tackle climate change
Climate change is a major public health threat which health professionals must help to tackle, argues an expert in this week's BMJ.   view more (2006-06-09)

Drought Solution Could Be Blowing In The Wind
Generating rainfall for deserts using wind power and seawater is the subject of a new research project. The idea involves the installation at sea of specially designed wind turbines. The turning motion of the rotors would be harnessed to pump seawater along the turbines' hollow blades. The water... view more (2002-11-04)

Voyage to Southern Ocean aims to study air-sea fluxes of greenhouse gases
Scientists will embark this week from Punta Arenas, Chile, on the tip of South America, to spend 42 days amid the high winds and waves of the Southern Ocean. Here they hope to make groundbreaking measurements to explain how huge fluxes of climate-affecting gases move between atmosphere and sea, and... view more (2008-02-27)

In new study, ancient and modern evidence suggests limits to future global warming
Instrumental readings made during the past century offer ample evidence that carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gases" in the atmosphere are warming Earth's climate, a team led by Duke University scientists has reported.   view more (2006-04-20)

Dinosaur extinction didn't cause the rise of present-day mammals, claim researchers
A new, complete 'tree of life' tracing the history of all 4,500 mammals on Earth shows that they did not diversify as a result of the death of the dinosaurs, says new research published in Nature today.   view more (2007-03-29)

Global warming not responsible for malaria increase in East African Highlands
Recent increases in malaria in the East African Highlands cannot be attributed to global warming, researchers at the Department of Zoology at Oxford University have shown. It has long been known that malaria in highland areas is hindered by low temperatures which limit the development of the... view more (2002-02-21)

New report cites ethics and justice as critical in world's approach to climate change

Richard Horton comments: The... view more (2002-08-21)

Biodesign's Rittmann offers promising perspectives on society's energy challenge
Perhaps there is no greater societal need for scientific know-how than in finding new ways to meet future energy demands. Skyrocketing gas prices, an uncertain oil supply, increasing demand from around the world, and the looming threat of climate change have made identifying and developing... view more (2008-06-04)

Do Overseas Recruitment Schemes Fuel Health Inequalities?
Schemes to recruit doctors from developing countries risk damaging their fragile health systems, warns a senior doctor in this week's BMJ. Overseas recruitment schemes are marketed primarily as an opportunity for doctors to experience one of the world's best healthcare systems. Yet a new NHS scheme... view more (2003-10-15)

Hurricanes are getting stronger, study says
