Could solar geoengineering have a good effect on agriculture?

A significant step for geoengineering simulations

Modeling strategy allows scientists to explore ways to limit warming, reduce side effects Using a sophisticated computer model, scientists have demonstrated for the first time that a new research approach to geoengineering could potentially be used to limit Earth’s warming to a specific target while reducing some of the risks and concerns identified in past

Scientists observe first signs of healing in the Antarctic ozone layer

September ozone hole has shrunk by 4 million square kilometers since 2000. Scientists at MIT and elsewhere have identified the “first fingerprints of healing” of the Antarctic ozone layer, published today in the journal Science. The team found that the September ozone hole has shrunk by more than 4 million square kilometers — about half

Widespread loss of ocean oxygen to become noticeable in 2030s

A reduction in the amount of oxygen dissolved in the oceans due to climate change is already discernible in some parts of the world and should be evident across large regions of the oceans between 2030 and 2040, according to a new study led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Scientists know that

Global Sea Level Rise Dampened by Australia Floods

When enough raindrops fall over land instead of the ocean, they begin to add up. New research led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) shows that when three atmospheric patterns came together over the Indian and Pacific oceans, they drove so much precipitation over Australia in 2010 and 2011 that the world’s ocean

This Week’s Forecast: Sunny with a 40 Percent Chance of Flu

New computer model takes a page from weather forecasting to predict regional peaks in influenza outbreaks Scientists have developed a system to predict the timing and severity of seasonal influenza outbreaks that could one day help health officials and the general public better prepare for them. The system adapts techniques used in modern weather prediction

Supercomputer will help map climate change down to the local level

Where can Florida panthers and loblolly pine, a major source of timber, survive as the climate shifts? An advance guard of 18-wheelers is scheduled to roll into a business park in Cheyenne, Wyo., this week to unload components of a supercomputer called Yellowstone. This 1.5-quadrillion-calculations-per-second crystal ball will model future climate and forecast extreme

Farmed Out: How Will Climate Change Impact World Food Supplies?

Image via Wikipedia A new study attempts to estimate the effects of climate change on global agriculture–and outline ways to mitigate its most dire consequences The people of East Africa once again face a devastating drought this year: Crops wither and fail from Kenya to Ethiopia, livestock drop dead and famine spreads. Although, historically, such

“Albedo Yachts” and Marine Clouds: A Cure for Climate Change?

Image via Wikipedia Here’s an idea to cool Earth: make marine clouds into better reflectors of sunlight. After all, clouds already reflect more of the sun’s radiation back into space than the amount trapped by human emissions of carbon dioxide. So why not make them even more effective? Enter “marine cloud brightening,” a geoengineering scheme
