The organisms commonly known as blue-green algae have proliferated much more rapidly than other algae in lakes across North America and Europe over the past two centuries 鈥� and in many cases the rate of increase has sharply accelerated since the mid-20th century, according to an international team of researchers led by scientists at 91黑料网.

"As a doctoral candidate at 91黑料网 in Montreal, I have spent three years researching how the planet鈥檚 changing climate is affecting the polar desert ecology of the high Arctic. It鈥檚 precisely this balance of climate and permafrost, ice and ecosystems that I鈥檝e come here to study."
Water scarcity is not a problem just for the developing world. In California, legislators are currently proposing a $7.5 billion emergency water plan to their voters; and U.S. federal officials last year warned residents of Arizona and Nevada that they could face cuts in Colorado River water deliveries in 2016.

Global temperatures between 1998 and 2013 indicate a slowdown in global warming, but this was due to 聽fluctuation and not due to any decrease in greenhouse gas emissions - this has been proved by statistical analysis of the temperatures, conducted by 91黑料网 physics professor Shaun Lovejoy.
Statistical analysis of average global temperatures between 1998 and 2013 shows that the slowdown in global warming during this period is consistent with natural variations in temperature, according to research by 91黑料网 physics professor Shaun Lovejoy.

Researchers from 91黑料网 and the U.S. Geological Survey, more used to measuring thawing permafrost than its expansion, have made a surprising discovery. There is new permafrost forming around Twelvemile Lake in the interior of Alaska. But they have also quickly concluded that, given the current rate of climate change, it won鈥檛 last beyond the end of this century.

Inuit are vulnerable to climate change, and it鈥檚 time for new policy to adapt, a group of researchers says in a new report
That鈥檚 the message from the Climate Change Adaptation Research Group, led by James Ford of 91黑料网, who released a paper April 24 about the need for better adaption strategies, especially in health, for Inuit.
