creates Huge Melt Feedback on Greenland Ice</a></b><br>
Climate State<br>
Published on Jul 28, 2017<br>
Algae responsible for large albedo feedback on Greenland's frozen
surface, not only soot and dust.<br>
We believe gathering measurements from the surface of Greenland ice
is fundamental to advancing our understanding of the melting Arctic.

Climate change bites! video preview <a

A "Sharkicane" - a terrifying twist on the meteorological havoc
wrought in the cult flick "Sharknado" - is more likely than ever to
strike Earth, the movie's creator jawed to The Post.<br>
"Sharknado 5: Global Swarming" takes a campy dive into what might
happen if climate change spiraled out of control - and features a
raging hurricane-tornado that sucks up massive man-eaters and spits
them out onto Rome, London and Amsterdam.<br>
But as the planet heats up, wild weather patterns really do increase
the chance of a fishy storm of biblical proportions, according to
"Sharknado" originator Thunder Levin....<br>
Not long ago, hundreds of fish really did fall from the sky in the
northern Australia town of Lajamanu, where meteorologists said the
freak 2010 storm was probably caused by a tornado that carried the
sea creatures hundreds of miles, he continued...<br>

latest "Sharknado" installment </a>- whose tagline is "Make
America Bait Again!" - centers on the same main characters, Fin and
April, who set off on a journey across the world to save their son
after he gets swept up by a Sharknado.<br>
The disaster horror-comedy stars Ian Ziering and Tara Reid and
features cameos from Chris Kattan, Margaret Cho along with the
has-been hunk Fabio, who plays the pope.<br>
The latest installment of the shark flick is sure to make a splash,
Levin said.<br>
"The movie is going to be a lot bigger than previous ones because
it's all around the world. It's a lot of fun," he said. "I like the
ending because it sets up a whole lot of possibilities for the
future."<br>

Change Could Cause Heat-Related Deaths to Spike for 10 Major US
Cities, (Ozone) Study Says</a></b><br>
Heat-related fatalities will drastically increase in 10 major U.S.
cities if climate change is allowed to continue at its current rate,
according to a new study.<br>
Researchers from <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016041201730750X">Brown
University incorporated temperature-related mortality </a>rates
from Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami,
New York, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. with temperature models
between the years 2085 and 2090. Their findings were published in
the journal Environmental International.<br>
The conversation about climate change is typically focused on the
costs of mitigation, but this paper shows the human toll of policy
inaction," said study senior author Gregory Wellenius, an associate
professor of epidemiology at Brown's School of Public Health. "These
results show the cost in terms of human lives due to just this one
aspect of climate change: temperature."<br>
In the "worst case" scenario, the average heat-related mortality
rate would be 10,300 per year by 2050 and 26,000 by 2090. In the
scenario where the rate of human-caused climate change is curbed,
the number of heat-related deaths would be approximately 7,700 by
2050 and 10,400 by 2090.<br>
When population growth was factored in, the predicted rise in
heat-related deaths increased significantly. Some 16,400 fatalities
would be heat-related by 2050 in the "worst case," with 52,339
deaths expected in 2090, while the better-case projected 12,300 and
21,100 deaths in 2050 and 2090, respectively.<br>

temperature-related deaths in ten large U.S. metropolitan areas
under different climate change scenarios<br>
</a></b>Highlights<br>
In the context of a warming climate, we project that the
heat-related death rate will increase in 10 U.S. metropolitan areas.<br>
This increase may be partially offset by a reduction in the
cold-related death rate.<br>
We project that the net change will be positive in 8 of the 10
locations studied.<br>
Population growth may increase the absolute number of future
temperature-related deaths.<br>
Future temperature-related deaths may be reduced by lowering
greenhouse gas emissions.<br>

<b>Chatham House Report</b> Rob Bailey and Laura Wellesley<br>

and Vulnerabilities in Global Food Trade</a><br>
</b>Executive Summary<br>
Global food security is underpinned by trade in a few crops and
fertilizers. Just<br>
three crops - maize, wheat and rice - account for around 60 per cent
of global food<br>
energy intake. A fourth crop, soybean, is the world's largest
source of animal protein<br>
feed, accounting for 65 per cent of global protein feed supply.
Each year, the world's<br>
transport system moves enough maize, wheat, rice and soybean to feed
approximately<br>
2.8 billion people. Meanwhile, the 180 million tonnes of
fertilizers applied to<br>
farmland annually play a vital role in helping us grow enough wheat,
rice and<br>
maize to sustain our expanding populations.<br>
International trade in these commodities is growing, increasing
pressure on<br>
a small number of 'chokepoints' - critical junctures on transport
routes through which<br>
exceptional volumes of trade pass. Three principal kinds of
chokepoint are critical<br>
to global food security: maritime straits along shipping lanes;
coastal infrastructure<br>
in major crop-exporting regions; and inland transport infrastructure
in major<br>
exporting regions.<br>
A serious interruption at one or more of these chokepoints could
conceivably lead<br>
to supply shortfalls and price spikes, with systemic consequences
that could reach<br>
beyond food markets. More commonplace disruptions may not in
themselves trigger<br>
crises, but can add to delays, spoilage and transport costs,
constraining market<br>
responsiveness and contributing to higher prices and increased
volatility.<br>

<font size="+1">July 29, 2004: At the Democratic National
Convention, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, the Democratic
Presidential nominee, notes that if he is elected, he will "have a
vice president who will not conduct secret meetings with polluters
to rewrite our environmental laws."<br>
He also observes:<br>
"We value an America that controls its own destiny because it's
finally and forever independent of Mideast oil. What does it mean
for our economy and our national security when we have only 3
percent of the world's oil reserves, yet we rely on foreign
countries for 53 percent of what we consume?<br>
"I want an America that relies on its ingenuity and innovation,
not the Saudi royal family.<br>
"And our energy plan for a stronger America - our energy plan will
invest in new technologies and alternative fuels and the cars of
the future, so that no young American in uniform will ever be held
hostage to our dependence on oil from the Middle East."<br>
