Global Warming News Saturday September 16th 2006

On the rise: The warmer water temperatures suit the roach
(News & Star) Warmer lakes may be good news for Cumbria's tourist industry but not everyone has welcomed the increase in temperature. Experts say it is a sign of global warming, and this could have dramatic consequences for plant and animal life in the Lake District. This July, the temperature in Lake Windermere, Cumbria's largest lake, hit a balmy 24 degrees centigrade. This is the highest since the Freshwater Biological Association began recording each day in 1933.

Stratospheric injections can help cool Earth's temperature
(Zee News) A new study conducted at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) suggests that a two-pronged approach, involving both injecting sulfate particles in the stratosphere and cutting the emission of greenhouse gasses, may be more effective in cooling Earth’s temperature. The study stresses that the impact of the two processes, which scientists refer to as geoengineering, will be much stronger if they are carried out together rather than separately.

Glacier retreats from view
(Worcester Telegram) Portage Glacier has retreated so far, it no longer can be seen from the multimillion-dollar visitors center built for it in 1986. Tourists have to cross a lake to see the glacial ice that looks sky blue on a cloudy day. At a resort a few miles away, municipal leaders from 17 states are gathering this weekend to talk about global warming and see how it is changing the northern landscape.

Why water will be like gold
(Advertiser Adelaide) A Think Tank in the US recently prepared a study for the Pentagon that warned one of the biggest challenges facing the military this century will be short, sharp regional wars over water. In a crowded world, supplies of life-giving water will become ever-more valuable, prompting nations to take drastic steps to ensure they have access to supplies. While cloudless days of sunshine are fine to bask in, Australia and South Australia in particular should face the fact that water - or the lack of it - must continue to be a top priority for future planning.

Air pollution adds to water shortage
(Daily Democrat) Scientists say bits of air pollution as small as a thousandth of a hair's width appear to be reducing rain and snowfall in the Sierra, Cascades and Rockies, potentially adding to threats of water shortages tied to global warming. Three years ago, Israeli cloud physicist Daniel Rosenfeld saw clues in data from a NASA satellite that tiny airborne grime released by everything from diesel trucks to cattle was affecting clouds and precipitation downwind of cities.
