<blockquote>While scientists and policy experts debate the impacts
of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b
style="font-weight: normal;">global warming</b>, Earth's soil
is releasing roughly nine times more carbon dioxide to the
atmosphere than all human activities combined.<br>
This huge carbon flux from soil, which is due to the natural
respiration of soil microbes and plant roots, begs one of the
central questions in climate change science. As the global
climate warms, will soil respiration rates increase, adding even
more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and accelerating climate
change?<br>
One conclusion from the synthesis is that rising global
temperatures result in regionally variable responses in soil
respiration, with colder climates being considerably more
responsive. "Consistently across all biomes, we found that soil
respiration increased with soil temperature up to about 25° C
(77° F)," said Joanna Carey, a postdoctoral scientist in the
Marine Biological Laboratory Ecosystems Center in Woods Hole,
Mass., and the lead scientist on the study. Above the 25°C
threshold, respiration rates decreased with further increases in
soil temperature. "<br>
The team also found that soil microbes in experimental warming
studies showed no sign of adaptation -- meaning a muted
respiration response to rising temperatures -- in all of the
biomes studied, except desert and boreal forest. This indicates
that soils will typically respond strongly to increasing
temperature by releasing more carbon dioxide, said Jianwu Tang
with the Marine Biological Laboratory Ecosystems Center and a
lead scientist on the study.<br>
"Going forward, we need to better explore the biome-specific
responses as global temperatures shift beyond the historic
range," Frey said. To understand how global carbon in soils will
respond to climate change, the authors stress, more data are
needed from under- and nonrepresented regions, especially the
Arctic and the tropics.</blockquote>

From Thunderstorms Rising Rapidly in Europe, Asia</a></b><br>
</span>
<blockquote><font size="-1">Across a vast swath of Europe and Asia,
rain is increasingly falling in the short, localized bursts
associated with thunderstorms, seemingly at the expense of
events where a steady rain falls over many hours, a new study
finds.</font><br>
<font size="-1">The study, detailed Wednesday in the journal
Science Advances, directly links this trend to the warming and
moistening of the atmosphere caused by rising greenhouse gas
levels.</font><br>
<font size="-1">The results fit with rainfall trends already
observed in the U.S., as well as model predictions that massive
rains associated with thunderstorms could become both more
frequent and more intense in the U.S. as the world continues to
heat up.</font><br>
<font size="-1">As these trends continue with warming, they could
have major impacts on water management. The trade-off in
non-convective rains for more convective rain means that there
will be fewer days that have rain, but more rain falling on days
when storms do occur,</font><br>
<font size="-1">A shift from more frequent non-convective rains to
less frequent downpours could overwhelm the ability of the soil
and plants to absorb rainwater. If the ground can't absorb the
water, it runs off into streams, potentially causing floods and
changing how cities and countries must think about capturing
their water.<br>

possible political interference in the work of government
climate change scientists. Lawmakers questioned whether the
White House had altered reports by government scientists over
the past several years to mask the problems posed by climate
change. They highlighted a survey published by two advocacy
groups, the Union of Concerned Scientists and the Government
Accountability Project, which found that 46 percent of the
federal scientists they polled reported they personally had
experienced or perceived pressure to eliminate the words "global
warming" or "climate change" from their writings, and roughly
the same percentage had experienced edits that changed the

reports: "Secretary of State James A. Baker III, emphasizing the
Bush Administration's concern about global environmental problems,
said Monday that the nations of the world cannot wait for solid
scientific confirmation of global warming before taking action.<br>
"In the first remarks on global environmental issues by a senior
Bush Administration official since the inauguration, Baker said
that the United States and the world must 'focus immediately' on
energy conservation, reforestation and reductions in harmful
chemical emissions.<br>
"'We can probably not afford to wait until all the uncertainties
have been resolved before we do act. Time will not make the
problem go away,' Baker told delegates from more than 40 nations
to the newly formed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change."<br>
