Nuclear new-build not fast enough to curb global warming: Report

Reuters: Nuclear reactors are not being built rapidly enough around the world to meet targets on curbing global warming, a report by the World Nuclear Association, an industry body, said on Tuesday. The association, which represents the global nuclear industry, says 1,000 gigawatts of new nuclear capacity needs to be added by 2050 so nuclear can supply around 25 percent of global electricity. Last year, more nuclear reactors were under construction and came online than at any other time in the past...

ClimateWire: Valley of the North Fork of the Walla Walla River above Milton-Freewater, Ore. Photo courtesy of Wikipedia. What if a bottle of pinot noir wine from Oregon no longer tasted quite like it was grown in the cool Willamette Valley? Or if a riesling from Germany's Mosel Valley tasted a little more like it was grown in warmer Austria? Those are the questions confronting winemakers worldwide as they figure out how to grow grapes and produce wine amid changing weather conditions and unpredictable climate...

Pace of warming threatens Africas new maize varieties

Climate Home: It can take up to 30 years to improve a crop variety, test it and persuade farmers to adopt it. That means the speed of climate change in Africa could make a new variety of maize useless even before the first harvest, according to new research. But two separate studies that address the challenge of food security in a rapidly warming world suggest that the answers may lie not just in future weather but in todays soils. One says that better soil data can be used to predict surer levels of...

Climate News Network: Millions in Africa depend on maize, but new crop varieties can barely keep pace with the warming climate. Image: Kate Holt/AusAID via Wikimedia Commons Scientists warn that plant breeders will need to accelerate development schedules if they are to ensure the ever-growing population can be fed as global temperatures rise. It can take up to 30 years to improve a crop variety, test it and persuade farmers to adopt it. That means the speed of climate change in Africa could make a new variety of...
Warming temps raise Zika virus risk

EarthSky: Global warming will cause more people to be exposed to the mosquito that carries Zika virus, says a new study. Why this mosquito is such a good virus-spreader. As Americans ready themselves for the arrival of mosquitoes this summer, many may be wondering whether they are at risk for tropical diseases like Zika and whether climate change will raise the risks of infection. My colleagues and I recently completed a study examining how projected changes in climate and human population may increase...
