Economists help climate scientists to improve global warming forecasts

Climate scientists are collaborating with experts in economic theory to improve their forecasting models and assess more accurately the impact of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Although there is broad consensus that there will be a significant rise in average global temperature, there is great uncertainty over the extent of the change, and the implications for different regions.

1. New research may lead to better climate models for global warming, El Niño
   12-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
   From nine different countries, 150 scientists are starting a program to gain insights about the Earth's climate and the complex system involving the oceans, atmosphere and land. They are studying the Southeastern Pacific Ocean off South America's west coast -- research that should improve global computer climate models, which would lead to improved predictions about global warming and El Niños, said C. Roberto Mechoso, UCLA professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences, who chairs the program.

8. Scientists warn of climate change risk to marine turtles
   02-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
   North American marine turtles are at risk if global warming occurs at predicted levels, according to scientists from the University of Exeter. An increase in temperatures of just one degree Celsius could completely eliminate the birth of male turtles from some beaches. A rise of three degrees Celsius would lead to extreme levels of infant mortality and declines in nesting beaches across the USA.
