Sunspots may be affecting hurricane intensity, study says
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 week 16 hours (www.nature.com)
While recent data have suggested that the Earth's warming climate has altered the intensity balance of storms to favor more intense and dangerous hurricanes, there may be an additional factor at work: The solar cycle.
A team at Florida State University has examined storm data going back a century. There appears to be a twelve-year storm cycle that corresponds with the rise and fall of magnetic activity on the sun.
This suggestion--which attributes some of our changing climate to non-manmade activities--has not gone unchallenged 
Hurricane Ike Victims Return; Turned Away

Residents of Galveston, Texas launched an ill-advised attempt to return to their crippled hometown Wednesday, but instead fumed in hours of gridlocked traffic only to be turned away at the bridge leading to their island. The confusion results in part form the fact that city governors had announced a "look and leave" plan permitting residents to return. However, this plan was rescinded only hours later--when many Galvestonians were already on the road.
Fight Global Warming with a White Roof

A can of white paint should be part of the planet's arsenal against global warming, say California researchers, who have calculated that installing white roofs in the world's cities could offset 1.5 years of man-made carbon emissions.
Arctic meltdown exacerbated by positive feedback

With just weeks to go before the extent of the Arctic ice reaches its summer minimum, we take a look at the reasons behind its dramatic melt. How much is to do with global warming – and how much can be blamed on the weather?
In 2007, temperatures were unusually warm, and the sky was very clear at the beginning of the summer when solar radiation is strongest. What's more, winds pushed ice away from the Siberian coast and helped it move out into the Atlantic. These factors led to a record ice minimum and the opening of the Northwest Passage
Scientists: More Hurricanes to Come

The tropics seem to be going crazy what with the remnants of Gustav, the new threat from Hanna, a strengthening Ike and newcomer Josephine. Get used to it.
Climate change means more than mild winters: storms wreak extra havoc
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 month 2 days (www.nature.com)
According to Nature, the maximum speeds of hurricanes and other intense storms have increased since 1981.
While atmospheric models have long suggested that an overall increase in planetary temperature will also increase the intensity of storms, it has also been argued that other results of increasing temperature, such as increased shearing winds, would cancel out or interfere with these other effects.
Climatologists at the University of Florida, however, have found that recent storms have been able to overcome the effects of shearing winds
"We" Climate Campaign: Glossy, but Will It Work?

Rather than focusing on scary symptoms, the We Campaign focuses on the cure for global warming — and motivates people to support sweeping change. Question is, will it be enough to effect any real change at all?
Psychologists rally to fight climate change
sea-maid submitted, created time 1 month 1 week (www.newscientist.com)
FEELING blue about climate change? Don't despair. Psychologists say they can switch our mindset from fatalism to "can-do" optimism, making a unique and vital contribution to the fight against global warming.
On 15 August at the American Psychological Association meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, delegates vowed to expose and help overcome the psychological barriers individuals face. "It's so easy to feel overwhelmed and think: 'What can little me do?'" says David Uzzell of the University of Surrey, U.K.
Most people now accept that global warming is real and caused by human activity
US must invest against climate change

Eight scientific organizations have urged the next U.S. president to help protect the country from climate change by pushing for increased funding for research and forecasting. They stress the damage that could be done to the U.S. economy by storms, droughts, and increasingly intense weather patterns.
Endangered Species Act: details on the dilution
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 month 3 weeks (www.nature.com)
Here are some more details on the kinds of projects that might be approved more easily, or without proper review, as some argue, under the more relaxed Endangered Species Act. The article specifically mentions pipelines, roads and logging and makes vaguer references to operations that could exacerbate global warming.
The article specifically mentions polar bears, the most visible species that seems to be in the most immediate danger from warming seas. It may be relevant that the polar bear is only listed as "threatened," not "endagered." Heh, well not for long!
Air pollution can affect weekend weather
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 month 3 weeks (www.nature.com)
The only thing that separates a Thursday from a Sunday is human convention ...and now the weather. According to this article, human behaviors such as driving cars can affect the weather. We already knew that, right? Well the cool part is that behaviors that depend on the type of day--say, the weekday rush hour--can cause the weather to differ depending on whether it's a working day or a weekend by affecting the number of condensation nuclei in the air.
The effects differ by region and season. Spain has been getting sunnier winter weekends and colder and wetter summer weekends
New evidence implicates humans in prehistoric animal extinctions

Research led by UK and Australian scientists sheds new light on the role that our ancestors played in the extinction of Australia's prehistoric animals. Their study suggests that the mass extinction of Tasmania's large prehistoric animals was the result of human hunting, and not climate change as previously believed.
Jellyfish plague coastal waters, a symptom of deeper problems
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 month 4 weeks (www.nytimes.com)
Well, I can say with confidence that the jellyfish have been showing up on the coast of New Jersey more or less on schedule midsummer--just as the water turns from cold to warm--for about twenty years now. I only remember one year that could be called a bona-fide infestation. (Word of advice: ALWAYS rinse off and change clothes before the drive home. It's keeping the stingers next to your skin that causes what I'll delicately call "dermatological side effects.") This year wasn't one of them
Is Smokey the Bear Worsening Global Warming?

Scientists have long believed that preventing or dousing forest fires helps combat global warming by saving trees and thus allowing forests to take up more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But surprising new data on hundreds of California forest sites suggest the opposite. The work could help quantify the role of forests in the global carbon cycle and shape U.S. federal fire policy.
Small, natural fires thin out shrubs and small trees without killing larger trees. This allows the larger trees, which absorb the most carbon, to flourish without interference

Growth of the electronics industry will boost emissions of a "hidden"—but extremely potent—greenhouse gas. Nitrogen trifluoride is used in the production of semiconductors, but it's not mentioned anywhere on the Kyoto Protocol.
