streams stumble as the world warms</a></b></font><br>
<font size="-1">By Tim Radford, LONDON, 9 April, 2017 </font><br>
The warming of the atmosphere by greenhouse gases is slowing the jet
streams which drive the northern hemisphere's weather.<br>
Researchers have once again linked a sequence of devastating climate
events to global warming fuelled by prodigal human use of fossil
fuels. And this time, they believe they have identified the agency
behind the<a
href="https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-03/pifc-weh032317.php">
blazing summers that have claimed lives and destroyed livelihoods
repeatedly</a> during this century.<br>
They argue in the journal <a
href="http://www.nature.com/articles/srep45242">Scientific Reports</a>
that human impact on the climate now reaches high into the
stratosphere,<a
href="https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-03/ps-ewe032117.php">
to influence the behaviour patterns of the giant jet streams</a>
that carry heat and moisture around the northern hemisphere, and
keep the weather on the move.<br>
Warming driven by carbon dioxide emissions from car exhausts and
power stations, they argue, tends to make these giant oscillating
waves stall in their journey around the hemisphere - to create
enduring episodes of high and low pressure and lingering hazards of
drought and flood.<br>
"The unprecedented 2016 California drought, the 2011 US heatwave and
2010 Pakistan flood as well as the 2003 European hot spell all
belong to a most worrying series of extremes," says Michael Mann
from Pennsylvania State University in the US.<br>

dioxide levels could reach their highest point in 50 million
years by the end of the century</a></b><br>
Continuing to burn fossil fuels at the current rate could bring
atmospheric carbon dioxide to its highest concentration in 50
million years, jumping from about 400 parts per million now to more
than 900 parts per million by the end of this century, a new study
warns.<br>
And if greenhouse gas emissions continue unabated beyond that point,
the climate could reach a warming state that hasn’t been seen in the
past 420 million years.<br>
Some research suggests that, if humans burned through all fossil
fuels on Earth, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations could hit
5,000 parts per million by the year 2400.<br>

meltwater pondsfeed climate concerns</a></b><br>
Plankton blooms in the Arctic’s increasing number of meltwater ponds
are enriching the ocean - but potentially accelerating global
warming.<br>
By Tim Radford LONDON, 7 April, 2017<br>
Even in the white-out world of ice, the Arctic is growing greener.
Plankton blooms below the frozen ocean and in Greenland’s icy
mountain meltwater ponds become little ecosystems that will
eventually enrich the ocean.<br>
And both entirely natural processes could be a measure of human
impact on the planetary climate. In each case, what happens a little
could increasingly happen a lot, to accelerate climate change still
further.<br>
The Arctic is the fastest-warming place on the planet. Green plants
have begun to invade the frozen landscapes, and Greenland’s ice is
in retreat. And scientists have begun to look in finer detail at the
way the process happens.<br>
Twenty years ago, no more than 4% of Arctic ice was thin enough to
permit colonies of phytoplankton to bloom underneath. Now, in the
summer months, 30% of the iced-over ocean covers a garden of green
things, to be grazed by other forms of sea life.<br>
"The metre decline in sea ice thickness in the Arctic in the past 30
years has dramatically changed the ecology in that area," Horvat
says.<br>

Even the smallest of symbolic details can't escape the changes of
life in Trump's America. The government agency responsible for
overseeing a staggering 258 million acres of land, including
ecologically vital conservation areas, has changed the image on its
homepage from a scenic park vista to a massive, tall pile of coal. <br>
The website change, which happened in the past 24 hours, is in
keeping with the Trump administration's push to drill for oil,
natural gas, and minerals on public lands.<br>
