23. Global Warming And Hurricanes Research into the likely effects of global warming on worldwide hurricane activity in the 21st century. http://www.gfdl.gov/~rt/glob_warm_hurr.html

Global Warming and Hurricanes Fig. 1. Maximum surface windspeeds for the hurricanes simulated for control (thin line) and high CO2 (thick line) conditions. Fig. 2. Top: a tropical storm as simulated in the global climate model. Shown are surface temperature (shading), pressure and winds. Bottom: the same storm case, but as simulated with the hurricane prediction model. Shown are surface winds and precipitation on the inner grid of the hurricane model. The vector spacing illustrates the resolution of the two models (250 km for the global model vs. 18 km for the hurricane model.) Fig. 3. Sea surface temperatures (SSTs, light contours and color shading, in degrees Celsius) and sea level pressure (dark contours, in millibars) from an idealized coupled hurricane model/ocean model experiment. The "cool wake" in SSTs produced by the hurricane is indicated by the lower SSTs to the east-southeast of the storm. The storm motion is toward the west-northwest. The strongest hurricanes in the present climate may be upstaged by even more intense hurricanes over the next century as the earth's climate is warmed by increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Most hurricanes do not reach their maximum potential intensity before weakening over land or cooler ocean regions. However, those storms that do approach their upper-limit intensity are expected to be slightly stronger and have more rainfall in the warmer climate due to the higher sea surface temperatures. And more recent work with more comprehensive models incorporating hurricane-generated "cool SST wakes" continue to support these conclusions.

Introduction This page is based on a brief synopsis of the 2001 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change , and the National Research Council's 2001 report Climate Change Science: An Analysis of Some Key Questions , as well as NCDC's own data resources. It was prepared by David Easterling and Tom Karl, National Climatic Data Center, Asheville, N.C. 28801. One of the most hotly debated topics on Earth is the issue of climate change, and the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) data centers are central to answering some of the most pressing global change questions that remain unresolved. The National Climatic Data Center contains the instrumental records that can precisely define the nature of climatic fluctuations at time scales of a up to a century.

32. Global Warming Could Worsen Allergies, Study Finds NY Times article about study on potential for global climate change to increase the prevalence of ragweed. Subscription required free. http://www.nytimes.com/library/national/science/081700sci-environ-climate.html

August 17, 2000 Global Warming Could Worsen Allergies, Study Finds By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Related Articles The Natural World: Global Warming Health: Conditions Center Forum Join a Discussion on The Environment ASHINGTON Allergy sufferers, beware: Global warming could bring more hay fever, according to government research that shows ragweed produces significantly more pollen as carbon dioxide increases. The ubiquitous weed makes nearly twice as much pollen now as it did 100 years ago and will likely double its production again over the coming century with predicted increases in carbon dioxide levels, the Agriculture Department study suggests. "This research may help us better understand the troubling impact of high carbon dioxide levels on our environment and our health," Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman said Tuesday. About 15 percent to 20 percent of the population has hay fever or allergic reactions to plant pollen, dust and other airborne particles and ragweed is the major cause of the problem in the fall. The plant is found all over the country and is particularly prevalent in the Northeast and Midwest. The pollen grains are so small that they can travel many miles.

var path_prefix = '.'; Welcome to one of the UK's best sources of renewable power news, comment and developers listings. Why should you be interested in renewable power? It is hardly the most exciting topic for most of us, we tend to take power for granted. We switch on appliances and rarely doubt that power will be available. Most of this power relies on basic fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal and much of it comes from areas that have a high degree of political uncertainty. We know that these fuels are limited and many suggest they may also have impacts on our health and environment. If we are to guarantee future supplies of power, we need to be looking for alternatives to our current fuels. Here we examine some of the major alternatives, we examine the current market and trends. The more we know about how we will solve our future energy needs, the less likely we are to face a crisis, and that has got to be of interest to everyone. My name is Matt, I own this site. I live in the UK and develop it in my spare time using material from a wide variety of sources. The site is not run for commercial gain, renewable power is an interest of mine and together with inputs from others in the sector, this site acts as a information source. It is primarily targeted at the European renewable power market. I have developed the site over the past few years. Updates are limited to when I get time, but I will only include the most relevant material, so what you get are the key facts not every last news item.

Science FAQ Climate An Introduction uncertainties exist about exactly how earth's climate responds to them. Go to the Emissions section for much more on greenhouse gases Our Changing Atmosphere Energy from the sun drives the earth's weather and climate, and heats the earth's surface; in turn, the earth radiates energy back into space. Atmospheric greenhouse gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other gases) trap some of the outgoing energy, retaining heat somewhat like the glass panels of a greenhouse. Without this natural "greenhouse effect," temperatures would be much lower than they are now, and life as known today would not be possible. Instead, thanks to greenhouse gases, the earth's average temperature is a more hospitable 60°F. However, problems may arise when the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases increases. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide have increased nearly 30%, methane concentrations have more than doubled, and nitrous oxide concentrations have risen by about 15%. These increases have enhanced the heat-trapping capability of the earth's atmosphere. Sulfate aerosols, a common air pollutant, cool the atmosphere by reflecting light back into space; however, sulfates are short-lived in the atmosphere and vary regionally. Why are greenhouse gas concentrations increasing? Scientists generally believe that the combustion of fossil fuels and other human activities are the primary reason for the increased concentration of carbon dioxide. Plant respiration and the decomposition of organic matter release more than 10 times the CO

International Impacts Impacts Rising global temperatures are expected to raise sea level, and change precipitation and other local climate conditions. Changing regional climate could alter forests, crop yields, and water supplies. It could also affect human health, animals, and many types of ecosystems. Deserts may expand into existing rangelands, and features of some of our National Parks may be permanently altered. Most of the United States is expected to warm, although sulfates may limit warming in some areas. Scientists currently are unable to determine which parts of the United States will become wetter or drier, but there is likely to be an overall trend toward increased precipitation and evaporation, more intense rainstorms, and drier soils. Unfortunately, many of the potentially most important impacts depend upon whether rainfall increases or decreases, which can not be reliably projected for specific areas.
