Warmer Climate Sends Birds North

Some birds nesting in the central and eastern United States have moved their range over a hundred miles farther north in less than three decades. Scientists at the University of Louisiana attribute the northward movement of breeding birds to climatic warming. 
The greenhouse effect that may be cooling the climate

Here is one greenhouse effect that is welcome: the roofs of hothouse farms in Spain reflect so much sunlight that they may be pushing down local temperatures. Spain's semi-arid areas have slowly been transitioning from farming to greenhouses since the 1970's. Those areas have seen an annual temperature drop of .3 degrees per year. The rest of Spain has seen a rise of .5.
Scientists: Global Warming May Spread "Deadly Dozen" Diseases

Bird flu is just one of eleven diseases that may worsen with global warming, scientists are warning. Scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society have nicknamed twelve diseases the “deadly dozen” and say they are spreading across the globe and becoming dangerous to human an animal populations.
The other eleven diseases include babesiosis, cholera, ebola, lyme disease, plague, red tides, rift valley fever, sleeping sickness, tuberculosis, and yellow fever. Intestinal and external parasites are counted as one problem.
The Extent of Arctic Sea Ice Has Declined

This summer, the area covered by Arctic sea ice dropped to its second-lowest since satellite measurements began in 1979. It has recovered slightly from 2007 with regard to ice coverage, but since this is new, first-year ice, it is very thin. Overall ice volume may in fact be lower.
First-year ice is more likely to break up and melt than multi-year ice. This exacerbates the global worming process. Sea water is dark in color and it absorbs (and converts to heat) 90% of the sunlight that hits it. White ice, however, can reflect between 70% and 90%
Sunspots may be affecting hurricane intensity, study says

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
Bad Sign for Global Warming: Thawing Permafrost Holds Vast Carbon Pool

Permafrost blanketing the northern hemisphere contains more than twice the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, making it a potentially mammoth contributor to global climate change depending on how quickly it thaws.
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 2 months 2 weeks (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

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.
Carbon-free energy? Already in progress, says Nature.

Here, Nature magazine gives an overview of the several different means of generating electricity without releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Increasing the efficiency of existing fossil fuel systems is also given its due.
Once again, we see why Nature is at the very top of science writing. Take a look at this:
"The fact that hydroelectric systems require no fuel means that they also require no fuel-extracting infrastructure and no fuel transport
