Given that 2016 is expected to be the hottest year on record,..<b
style="font-weight: normal;"> On July 31,<a
href="http://www.syfy.com/sharknado4"> the fourth installment
of the Sharknado film series airs on SyFy</a>. The low-budget
films are a surprise smash hit, breaking records in 2013 with
the original Sharknado. It’s led to a series of movies and a
variety of media spin-offs, including a video game and companion
book.....If you’ve missed this cultural phenomenon, worry not:
The film’s title tells you most of what you need to know. Major
American cities are suddenly beset with waterspouts flinging
man-eating sharks – sharknados – through the air at 300 miles
per hour, while characters attempt to survive. The plots are
predictably ridiculous and the special effects – particularly in
the first Sharknado – are about what you would expect from a
B-movie....<br>
At their heart, however, th<b>e Sharknado films are stories
about climate change, albeit in a way that is scientifically
flawed to a comical degree. It’s a genre – climate disaster
films – we decided to explore as an emerging mode of
communication in society.</b></b></div>

about clean water, clean air, climate science. They are, in large
part, in a position where they can prioritize it because to a
large extent they’re doing well, but they can’t protect their
families from climate change. And wooing suburban swing voters,
Markey says, will be essential for a presidential candidate to

ruling out other studies that had predicted lower amounts of CO2
being released from the terrestrial biosphere, or not released
at all....Carbon cycle..... Before the industrial revolution
there were changes in the global temperature and we have
observations of that from the ice cores. This Little Ice Age was
a natural event triggered probably by volcanoes going off ... as
the planet warms, the Earth’s plants and soils will likely store
less carbon and help push up CO2 levels in the
atmosphere....Essentially, Etheridge and his colleagues have
found that the Earth’s terrestrial biosphere acts as a positive
feedback in the climate system as global warming continues....<b>More
warming, leads to more CO2 from the terrestrial biosphere,
which leads to more warming.</b><br>

2016, which projects humanitarian assistance needs in January
2017, is now available. <br>
Populations<b> in 25 of the 34 countries we cover will face
Crisis (IPC Phase 3) acute food insecurity or worse in January
2017, and require urgent humanitarian assistance...</b> Southern
Africa is facing its worst food security crisis in more than 20
years. Approximately 18 million people across the region will face
acute food insecurity and require humanitarian assistance....The
countries with the greatest food assistance needs in January 2017
will be Malawi, Sudan, South Sudan, Yemen and Zimbabwe....The
probability that a La Niña will develop by the end of 2016 is
greater than 60 percent. The video presents typical impacts of La
Niña’s on weather worldwide....Extreme food insecurity in
northeast Nigeria led CILSS, FAO, FEWS NET, and WFP to issue a
joint food security alert.<br>
