Quick hits for your weekend enjoyment (?):
- Finally, some definitive research done on the impact of global warming on species, matching field data to lab data and verifying the "unnatural" lab results. Even mild warming can adversely affect some species. Particularly remember this quote: "Biologists usually don't know enough about a species to assess this risk." This is what the "aginners" throw out to justify their claims that warnings are shrill and unsupported. But note that, in this case, when tests can be done, turns out the scientists were, omigod, right. Their predictions match results. Of course, we're not the ones who needed to be convinced of that, were we?
- Don't deny yourself the takedowns of Bushnev's coming SOTU address and the excerpts of Hell or High Water over at ClimateProgress.
- Also, head over to Scientific American for their latest material, which includes articles on new developments in fuel cells, the clues to climate change in accumulated leaf litter, and the update of UN warnings on climate change, which will surely be listened to this time . . . sorry. But you need to stay up-to-date. That old "Noah" thing, you know.
