Hi, and welcome to Forecast, a podcast about climate science and
climate scientists. I'm Michael White, Nature's editor for climate
science.<br>
- - - -<br>
After getting interested in podcasts like<a
href="http://www.wtfpod.com/"> Mark Maron's WTF</a> and Levi
Dalton's I'll Drink To That I figured that it might be interesting
to try something similar for climate: a podcast based on long-form
interviews with climate scientists, about their lives and their
work. My goal is to have wide ranging discussions with everyone from
graduate students to scientists working in the field for decades.<br>

Programme's (WCRP) Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM) many
hundreds of climate researchers, working with modeling centres

analysis will form the basis for future climate assessments and

David Letterman brought<a moz-do-not-send="true"

awareness to the desk of "Late Night With Seth Meyers" on Wednesday
with an unconventional "gift."<br>
During his segment, Letterman asked the audience, "Anybody here ever
had Lyme disease? I'm doing this to promote epidemiological health
and awareness because Lyme disease, ticks, they're everywhere."<br>
Meyers asked him if he's had Lyme disease, to which Letterman
replied, "Oh yeah. Probably got it now."<br>
"You look like a guy who would have it," Meyers joked, as Letterman
mimed itching and swatting his beard.<br>

think they've found the oldest continuous Antarctic ice cores
ever</a></b><br>
Katherine Ellen Foley<br>
When most of us look at images of Antarctica's ice, we see a cold,
uniform landscape that evokes thoughts of penguins, seals, and an
immediate need for hot chocolate. Climate scientists see potential
portals into our planet's past.<br>
This week, researchers from the University of Washington and the
University of Maine published (paywall) a paper suggesting they've
found the oldest continuous ice records ever, dating back a million
years ago. This ice would give researchers 200,000 more years' worth
of data compared to the previous oldest ice core on record, which
was 800,000 years old.<br>
The layers of ice that cover Antarctica work like geological time
capsules. They're able to capture bubbles of air that can be dated
and analyzed to give researchers an idea of what the climate was
like hundreds of thousands of years ago. Antarctic ice cores, for
example, have been used to help prove that excess carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere from industrial activity has led to climate change.<br>
Researchers have found bits of old ice before. Last year, scientists
from Princeton found bits of ice from 2.7 million years ago on the
continent, and in 2016 researchers found another chuck of ice dating
back a million years. Although these were both instances of ice
drilled up in cores, the cores themselves weren't continuous...<br>

href="https://grist.org/article/climate-change-my-microbiome-and-me/">Gut
feeling</a></b><br>
We blame a lot on global warming - but science might not be ready to
indict it for tummy troubles.<br>
By Lisa Selin Davis on May 15, 2018<br>
Those of us who believe in climate change (and maybe some who don't)
jokingly blame all kinds of things on it, from flat tires to summer
hailstorms. Case of the flu? Climate change. Mudslide? Climate
change. (Usually, we're right.)<br>
- - - - -<br>
Back around the turn of the century, researchers at the Pacific
Northwest National Laboratory shifted around soil from different
elevations on a mountain slope in Eastern Washington state and
monitored the samples for more than 15 years to see how the dirt
responded to climate change. The results of the study, published in
2016, revealed that the microbial activity in the soil samples
changed, sometimes slightly, sometimes significantly.<br>
The shift, said Vanessa L. Bailey, a co-author of the study and
senior research scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory,
left some soils "less able to breakdown certain types of organic
matter."<br>
- - - -<br>
<b>Conclusion: inconclusive</b><br>
No one I spoke to definitively said, "Climate change is ruining our
stomachs." In fact, causation is going to elude us for a while, in
part because the research is inchoate at best - and in some areas
nonexistent. But considering the fervor over the gut microbiome and
the continuing pressure to address climate change, it's my
assumption that a connection is in the offing.<br>
As Bond-Lamberty told me, "This is why scientists tend to write,
'Clearly more study is needed' at the end of many of their papers."
Even the study on the Canadian Inuit communities resulted in a call
for more research, not action. The study, the authors wrote,
"illustrates the need for high quality temporal baseline information
to allow for detection of future impacts of climate change on
regional Inuit human and environmental health."<br>
As much as I'd like to, I cannot blame my own ailment on climate
change - at least not yet.<br>
Neither could my doctor. When I went for my follow-up appointment, I
spewed out some of these facts to him: how warming changed the gut
bacteria of lizards, how our own guts are undergoing climate change
and killing off our good bacteria. What did he think, I asked, about
the real relationship between climate change and the recent breadth
of stomach woes?<br>
"The climate is always changing," he said, turning his back to me
and fiddling with some papers.<br>
"Wait - are you a climate change denier?" I asked, sitting upright
on the padded table, wondering if I could possibly trust anything
that came out of this guy's mouth.<br>
"The climate is always changing," he repeated, this time with a hint
of a smirk, before telling me that the results of my last test -
which evaluates, get this, excess bacterial growth in the gut -
pointed, once again, to no conclusive diagnosis.<br>

<b><a moz-do-not-send="true"

change? There are emojis for that. The icon set includes
wildfires, power plants, and melting glaciers.</a></b><br>
Emojis have become a regular part of today's online conversations.
Those little pictures have evolved far beyond smiley faces. There
are now hundreds of icons to liven up a message, from rainbows and
hearts, to tiny koala bears and margaritas.<br>
And now, you can download a new set of digital icons called
"Climoji". It includes cartoon depictions of the causes and effects
of climate change, including power plants, wildfires, and melting
glaciers.<br>
Texting or tweeting one of these images might seem trivial. But
Marina Zurkow, the artist and New York University professor who
leads the Climoji project, says that it's important to find new ways
to communicate about climate change.<br>
Zurkow: "The truth of the matter is we have a lot of negative things
to face, but how do we get people to face negative conditions? Our
hypothesis is that people are really tired of gloom and doom, and if
there was anything we could do to contribute in a way to producing
some levity around these difficult issues, as well as a shorthand,
that we were doing something substantial for the conversation."<br>
For some people, the light-hearted, visual vocabulary of Climoji
makes it easier to talk about climate change.<br>
