U.S. gasoline prices have continued falling in February, driving demand for pickups and SUVs higher but forcing automakers to raise incentives on cars to keep inventories from piling up too much. U.S. auto sales, after being slowed last month by winter storms, are on pace to reach the highest level for any February since 2000, some forecasts released this week show.

Washington Post: A group of scientists says it has now reconstructed the history of the planets sea levels arcing back over some 3,000 years -- leading it to conclude that the rate of increase experienced in the 20th century was extremely likely to have been faster than during nearly the entire period. We can say with 95 percent probability that the 20th-century rise was faster than any of the previous 27 centuries, said Bob Kopp, a climate scientist at Rutgers University who led the research with nine colleagues...

Ivory Coast's dry season runs from mid-November to March but farmers still rely on periodic showers to aid the development of the April-to-September mid-crop. This year dry weather and seasonal Harmattan winds -- which blow in from the Sahara and can sap soil moisture and reduce the size of beans -- have been...
'Wrong Types Of Trees' In Europe Accelerated Climate Change, Researchers Say

Nature World: Forests help mitigate climate change by storing carbon that would otherwise end up in the atmosphere. It appears, however, that more than 250 years of forest management in Europe has had the opposite effect. "The current assumption is that all forest management and all forests contribute to climate mitigation," Dr. Kim Naudts, a postdoctoral ecologist at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany, said in a statement. "We cannot say that is true, at least for Europe." Between...
