Case Western researcher, international team call for better global warming forecasting

Case Western Reserve University faculty member Matthew Sobel has joined a team of international scientists calling for better forecasting methods in predicting how climate changes will impact the earth’s plant and animal species. They have reported eight ways to improve biodiversity forecasting in the BioScience article, "Forecasting the Effects of Global Warming on Biodiversity."

1. Brazil demonstrating that reducing tropical deforestation is key win-win global warming solution
   05-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Recent studies by Woods Hole Research Center scientists demonstrate that during years of severe drought, tropical rainforest fires can double emissions from tropical forests. Now, an international team of forest and climate researchers has found that halving deforestation rates by mid-century would account for 12 percent of total emissions reductions needed to keep concentrations of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere at safe levels. This work is profiled in a recent issue of Science.

   01-15-2008 · EurekAlert!
   An international team of scientists, led by Dr. Edward Hanna at the University of Sheffield, has demonstrated that recent warm summers have caused the most extreme Greenland ice melting in 50 years. The new research provides further evidence of a key impact of global warming and helps scientists place recent satellite observations of Greenland's shrinking ice mass in a longer-term climatic context.

   04-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A team of scientists announced today confirmation of a link between massive volcanic eruptions along the east coast of Greenland and in the western British Isles about 55 million years ago and a period of global warming that raised sea surface temperatures by 5 degrees (Celsius) in the tropics and more than 6 degrees in the Arctic.

9. El Niño affected by global warming
   12-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A team of IRD scientists and chilean researcher made some unexpected findings about the recent evolution of the ENSO system. Investigation of marine sedimentary drill cores enabled them to retrace the changes in the ENSO's functioning since the XVIIth Century to the present. Results showed a 2°C fall in temperature of the waters of the Humboldt current system for the period 1820-1878. This time corresponds to the end of the Little Ice Age yet coincides with a warming of the Earth.
