Researchers in France have found that ozone depletion above Antarctica has significantly reduced the Southern Ocean’s ability to absorb atmospheric CO 2 and has also accelerated acidification of southern polar waters, despite lesser CO 2 uptake. The results revealed that, between 1987 and 2004, around 2.3

The research grew out of two coring expeditions sponsored by the Nyanza Project in 2001 and 2004. An estimated 10 million people live near the lake, and they depend upon it for drinking water and for food. As the lake gets warmer, we expect productivity to decline, and we expect that it will affect the [fishing] industry.

The study also predicts that peak concentrations of dangerous airborne particles will increase in the San Joaquin Valley due to the effects of climate change on wind patterns. We already know that climate change will bring us increased forest fires, shorter winters, hotter summers and impact our water supply.

The electric energy is then stored in water-cooled lithium-ion battery packs from A123 Systems ( earlier post ) and when the driver needs the stored power, the front motor drives the two front wheels through a differential during acceleration. The advanced energy management unit for the battery is located near the center of the vehicle.

An overwhelming majority (82% favor, 16% oppose) say automakers should be required to improve fuel efficiency, and support is nearly as high (79% favor, 18% oppose) for increasing federal funding to develop wind, solar, and hydrogen energy technology. But 18% name water supply and drought as most important issue, up 13 points from last year.

Because of that, she says, high-resolution data about temperature, air quality, wind speed, and precipitation levels is often inconsistent—which is a problem when trying to produce accurate models and predictions. Warmer air holds more water—which leads to heavier-than-usual rainfall and results in more flooding, according to the U.S.
