New York Times: They have tried to determine which regions are particularly susceptible to some variations in climate, and which are more resilient. And after studying 14 years' worth of NASA satellite images and tracking changes in the color of vegetation, they have developed what they're calling the Vegetation Sensitivity Index . A new study, published and reviewed in Nature magazine, shows the changes in shades of green (a proxy for plant health) in response to certain environmental factors - in this case,...

The planets future is in the balance. But a transformation is already under way

Guardian: We Homo sapiens got lucky. Very lucky. Back in the 1920s, when looking for a safe gas to use in refrigerators, chlorine was the element of choice in a new family of manmade chemical compounds chlorofluorocarbons. In the 1970s, Paul Crutzen, Mario Molina and Sherwood Rowland discovered that while it was safe in our fridges, it was destroying the ozone layer, which is essential to protect all life on land. Luck struck twice. Nasa scientists measuring ozone above Antarctica in the 1980s never...
Climate change can alter the planet's shape

Indo-Asian News Service: As melting glaciers erode the land, global warming could alter the shape of the planet, a new study says. "Antarctica is warming up, and as it moves to temperatures above 0-degrees celsius, the glaciers are all going to start moving faster," said study lead author Michele Koppes, assistant professor at University of British Columbia. "We are already seeing that the ice sheets are starting to move faster and should become more erosive, digging deeper valleys and shedding more sediment into the oceans,"...
