science, let's go
with science,» Obama said
of climate change.
Obama, he said, elevated the role
of science and technology advisers throughout the executive branch, put in place plans to mitigate and prepare the United States for the impacts
of climate change, set up health research initiatives to tackle such priorities as cancer and brain research, worked
with international partners on scientific issues and used the White House as a platform from which to herald
science and education, particularly for children.
«It is important to begin mechanistic studies
of these declines,» the team concludes in a paper presenting the finding published in today's
Science, «
with habitat alteration,
climate change and agricultural chemical usage being potential key drivers
of observed shifts.»
The massive projects needed now — such as devising a model
of climate change detailed enough to be truly predictive or batteries efficient enough to compete
with gasoline — can not wait or depend on chancy funding, he believes.He added that a strong national commitment to goal - centered basic
science could help solve other important problems by drawing America's talented young people into scientific work and providing them
with better opportunities for aspiring researchers to build careers
with a realistic chance
of making both a significant scientific contribution and a decent living.
So ultimately enhanced openness could actually save time and comes
with the added benefit
of retaining trust in the
science of climate change.
Investment in
science will be essential as nations cope
with the impact
of global
climate change, he said.
Lead author William Taylor, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the
Science of Human History, says that this model «enables us for the first time to link horse use
with other important cultural developments in ancient Mongolia and eastern Eurasia, and evaluate the role
of climate and environmental
change in the local origins
of horse riding.»
«In the case
of the
climate,
of course, there is only one Earth, so we can't do experiments
with multiple Earths and formulate the
science of climate change as if it's an entirely observationally based, controlled experiment.
The Review is a super refined weekly web publication curated by subject matter experts from Yale who summarize important research articles from leading natural and social
science journals
with the hope that people can make more informed decisions using latest research results.The Review launched this week and covers a wide range
of topics, like this brief about
climate change and biodiversity («Biodiversity Left Behind in Climate Change Scenarios»): They find that simply using the traditional classification of a species in climate change simulations can underestimate the true scale of biodiversit
