Global warming might lead to tsunami hit Britain soon!

September 28th, 2009 WASHINGTON - A new study by researchers at MIT and Caltech has predicted that global warming may lead to heavier rainstorms in the future. Previous studies have shown that average annual precipitation will increase in both the deep tropics and in temperate zones, but will decrease in the subtropics.

September 10th, 2009 WASHINGTON - A new study by scientists has predicted the effect of global warming on spring flowers by the year 2080. Data, taken from records dating back to the late nineteenth century, has been used to demonstrate the impact of global warming and to predict the effect further warming will have on plant life by 2080.

September 6th, 2009 WASHINGTON - A new study by the United Kingdom's Royal Society has outlined five last-ditch schemes needed to prevent a global warming disaster. According to National Geographic News, United Kingdom's Royal Society's report is the first from a major scientific body devoted to ranking the various proposals for "geoengineering." "It is an unpalatable truth that unless we can succeed in greatly reducing (greenhouse gas) emissions, we are headed for a very uncomfortable and challenging climate future," said study leader John Shepherd, an earth scientist at the University of Southampton in England, in a statement.

August 18th, 2009 WASHINGTON - A new study has shown that climate change will yield more extreme rainfall in the future. The study was carried out by researchers at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Caltech.

August 3rd, 2009 LONDON - Meteorologists have warned that a new El Nino has begun, which may lead to increased drought in Africa, India and Australia, and may make 2010 one of the hottest years on record. El Nino is a periodic warming of the normally cold waters of the eastern tropical Pacific, the ocean region westwards out from South America along the line of the equator.

July 25th, 2009 WASHINGTON - A new study has shown strong evidence that as the oceans warm, clouds appear to scatter, indicating that changes in these clouds may increase global warming. The role of clouds in climate change has been a major question for decades.

July 22nd, 2009 Study calculates warming threat to Colorado RiverBOULDER, Colo. — University of Colorado researchers say global warming increases the chances that the Colorado River system's reservoirs could be depleted by mid-century.

June 23rd, 2009 WASHINGTON - A new research has suggested that hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are good for protecting the ozone layer from destruction, could increasingly contribute to global warming. The research was conducted by scientists from NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory and their colleagues.

June 12th, 2009 WASHINGTON - A new research has indicated that an increase in temperature of only a couple of degrees may increase the dispersal of plants in Northern forests and the spread of plant species into forest clearings after felling or forest fires. The research, in the impact of global warming on seed and pollen dispersal, was led by University of Helsinki researcher Anna Kuparinen.

June 11th, 2009 WASHINGTON - In a new study, a team of scientists has found a direct relationship between carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and global warming. The study was done by Damon Matthews, a professor in Concordia University's Department of Geography, Planning and the Environment, along with colleagues from Victoria and the UK.

May 27th, 2009 LONDON - US President Barrack Obama's energy adviser has suggested that as part of efforts to slow global warming, all the world's roofs should be painted white. According to a report in the Telegraph, Professor Steven Chu, the US Energy Secretary, said that the unusual proposal would mean homes in hot countries would save energy and money on air conditioning by deflecting the sun's rays.

April 20th, 2009 LONDON - A new research has suggested that particles of lead from gasoline exhaust may have offset warming in the 20th century, causing global cooling. It's well known that particles in the atmosphere such as mineral dust, pollen, heavy metals and even bacteria can act as seeds for the nucleation of ice crystals.

March 12th, 2009 LONDON - Climatologists have warned that rising sea levels caused by global warming could destroy the Norfolk Broads and Thames Estuary in the UK within a hundred years. According to a report in the Telegraph, low-lying areas of the UK are under threat because the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets are melting faster than previously thought.

March 12th, 2009 LONDON - A new research has predicted that global warming will have a devastating effect on the Amazon rainforest, shrinking it by 85 percent if there is a rise of 4 degree Celsius in the temperature. According to a report in the Guardian, the research, by some of Britain's leading experts on climate change, shows that even severe cuts in deforestation and carbon emissions will fail to save the emblematic South American jungle.
