<blockquote> Studies about climate change's effects on agriculture
often focus on what sorts of crops will survive and where, or how
agricultural practices can mitigate those effects. But a new study
from the University of Illinois takes a more practical approach:
exactly how will climate change impact the number and arrangement
of days that farm workers can actually do their jobs?<br>
One Of Our Best Agricultural Weapons Against Climate Change Is
Sorely Lacking<br>
The study focuses on a metric called "field working days," a
phrase that sometimes appears as "fieldwork days" or "field days,"
but essentially always refers to which days can be used for
planting, tilling, monitoring, and harvesting crops. By using past
climate data, the researchers have extrapolated three different
scenarios for the coming century, ranging from mild to severe
change in climate<br>

becoming riskier under climate change</a><br>
<font size="-1">UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL,
CONSUMER AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES</font><br>
<font size="-1"> </font>The models suggest that the typical
planting window for corn will no longer be workable; April and May
will be far too wet to work the fields in most parts of
Illinois....<br>
"Going forward, we're predicting warmer and wetter springs, and
drier, hotter summers," Davis says. "The season fragments and we
start to see an early-early season, so that March starts looking
like a good target for planting in the future. In the past, March
has been the bleeding edge; nobody in their right mind would have
planted then. But we've already seen the trend for early planting.
It's going to keep trending in that direction for summer
annuals."...<br>
The researcher suggests three strategies to cope with the changes.
Farmers could plant early with long-season cultivars to maximize
yield potential, betting on a pollination window to open up before
the drought kicks in. Or farmers could choose shorter-season
cultivars, planting early and then harvesting before the drought,
possibly sacrificing yield.<br>

<blockquote> Three recent studies point to just how broad, bizarre,
and potentially devastating climate change is to life on Earth.
And we've only seen one degree Celsius of warming so far. <br>
But the fact that so many species are undergoing genetic changes
doesn't mean they are successfully adapting to our warmer world.<br>
"In many instances genetic diversity is being lost due to climate
change, not just in nature but also in resources that human's
depend on such as crops and timber," Scheffers said. "It is
important to not confuse species responses and adaptation as an
indicator that everything will be okay."<br>

there are important lessons to learn from what happened to ..<br>
The cause of the Angkor empire's demise in the early 15th century
long remained a mystery. But researchers have now shown that
intense monsoon rains that followed a prolonged drought in the
region caused widespread damage to the city's infrastructure,

"The medieval Khmer were confronted with a period of climatic
instability that they had no experience of, and which fully
changed the rules of the game that they had been playing for

beginner's guide to the debate over 100% renewable energy</a></b></font><br>
<blockquote> Is it the right target? Is it even possible? - Dave
Roberts<br>
It's not about whether to go to zero carbon, but how to get there<br>
The most important political division in the world of climate
change is between those who accept the urgency of the problem and
those who don't. Those who don't are in charge of the federal
government these days. Their energy plans are a celebration of
fossil fuels...<br>
The debate over 100 percent renewable energy isn't about that
division. This is about a dispute among people who accept the
imperative to rapidly reduce carbon emissions, sufficient to hold
the rise in global average temperatures to less than 2 degrees
Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) over preindustrial levels. To hit
that globally agreed upon target requires "deep decarbonization"
- reducing total carbon emissions 80 to 100 percent - across
the globe, by mid-century or shortly thereafter.<br>

sceptics say they should have right to 'mislead public' because
of free speech</a></b><br>
<blockquote> Chair of Commons Science Committee says: 'Too often the
clever practice of communications overshadows the true advice of
experts, and the public are left bewildered, and not knowing who
to believe'<br>
A claim by Britain's leading climate sceptic think tank that
"misleading the public by making factually inaccurate statements"
should be allowed has been dismissed by MPs...<br>
Instead the Commons' Science and Technology Committee called for a
"robust redress mechanism" – possibly including fines – in cases
where science is misreported by the media...<br>
The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF), set up by former
Conservative Chancellor Nigel Lawson, adopts a 'lukewarmist'
stance, accepting much of climate science – apart from the
projections for the future.<br>
It claims global warming will not cause significant problems,
while the scientific evidence suggests the planet is on course for
a range of possible outcomes with a greater chance of experiencing
'dangerous' weather conditions than avoiding them...<br>
The GWPF has repeatedly been accused of misrepresenting the
science and cherry-picking findings that appear to fit with its
stance on the issue.<br>

The latest theatrical House 'Science' committee hearing</a></b><br>
<blockquote> Republican Party leaders keep putting fossil fuel
industry profits over the well-being of Americans<br>
Last week, the House "Science" committee held one of its regular
hearings to dispute the validity of climate science research.
Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) articulated the purpose of the hearing
when speaking at a recent Heartland Institute climate science
denial conference:<br>
Next week we're going to have a hearing on our favorite subject of
climate change and also on the scientific method, which has been
repeatedly ignored by the so-called self-professed climate
scientists<br>
For that, Smith was rightly called out by Jeffrey Mervis at
Science magazine:<br>
the chairman of the science committee in the U.S. House of
Representatives acknowledged that the committee is now a tool to
advance his political agenda rather than a forum to examine
important issues facing the U.S. research community.<br>
Climate scientist Michael Mann was one of the witnesses testifying
in last week's hearing. In the event's defining exchange, Mann
quoted The Princess Bride, and then proceeded to quote Mervis'
condemnation of Lamar Smith...<br>

FACT: Big Oil has never had to try all that hard to make the
public ignore climate change research<br>

MYTH: By the year 2099, sea levels could rise between 7-20
inches<br>
FACT: You're never going to get people worried when you put it
like that<br>
