6. Understanding the global carbon budget -- Woods Hole Research Center expert provides insights
   05-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
   As climate change becomes a more central issue in local, national, and international discussions, understanding the global carbon budget, and how it influences global warming, will become increasingly crucial. One of the world's preeminent carbon experts, Dr. R. A. Houghton, has authored a synthesis paper on the topic, summarizing the global carbon budget and why it is important. The work is featured in the current issue of the Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Science.

8. Rising surface ozone reduces plant growth and adds to global warming
   07-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists have today released new findings that could have major implications for food production and global warming in the 21st century. Experts from the Met Office, the University of Exeter and the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, have found that projections of increasing ozone near the Earth’s surface could lead to significant reductions in regional plant production and crop yields. Surface ozone also damages plants, affecting their ability to soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and accelerating global warming.

10. Fossil record suggests insect assaults on foliage may increase with warming globe
    02-11-2008 · EurekAlert!
    More than 55 million years ago, the Earth experienced a rapid jump in global carbon dioxide levels that raised temperatures across the planet. Now, researchers studying plants from that time have found that the rising temperatures may have boosted the foraging of insects. As modern temperatures continue to rise, the researchers believe the planet could see increasing crop damage and forest devastation.
