The Regional Impacts of Climate Change
It is reasonable to expect higher overall productivity from freshwater systems. Although changing rainfall patterns and flood regimes may have profound effects on freshwater fish, marine fisheries are likely to be affected more by elevated temperatures (Hernes et al., 1995). The impacts of ...

Students make solar cookers, learn about global warming and deforestation
Earth warmer, creating what we call global warming. I researched the results of global warming, and learned that rainfall patterns will change causing droughts and floods, which we obviously don't want. One of the causes of global warming is deforestation. Deforestation (which is the cutting of trees) is also bad for the environment. Learning ...

Climate models 'underestimating' tropical rainfall - SciDev.Net
A study published today (8 August) in Science finds that the increase in rainfall is much larger than previously predicted, suggesting that current models may be inadequate in predicting the impact of climate change on rainfall patterns. A team of UK and US researchers used satellite data from 1988–2004 to look at how changes in ...
