With funding from Maryland Sea Grant, a program funded by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the State of Maryland, Kenney has launched a «listening tour» to understand the scientific needs of regional and local decision - makers related to increasing resilience to
climate change.
Several speakers expressed concern about U.S. President Donald Trump's denial of
climate change, Vice President Mike Pence's creationist beliefs, and Trump's willingness to work
with prominent antivaccine activist Robert Kennedy Jr. «In the face of fanaticism and fear, science is regaining its ethical and political stance,» said Rosaura Ruiz Guitiérrez, director of the Faculty of Science at the
National Autonomous University of Mexico here.
The report calls community resilience to hazards, including the impacts associated
with climate change «an element of overall
national security.»
In conjunction
with the
National Science Foundation and the San Francisco Exploratorium, DISCOVER brought together four experts to discuss the reality and meaning of
climate change.
With plans for a new floating dock at McMurdo Sound and robotic transportation to the South Pole, there's a kind of
change in
climate coming to the
National Science Foundation's (NSF's) U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP).
The value of this information is illustrated by the results of a study published May 19 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters by Oster's group, working
with colleagues from the Berkeley Geochronology Center, the Smithsonian Institution
National Museum of Natural History and the University of Cambridge titled «Northeast Indian stalagmite records Pacific decadal
climate change: Implications for moisture transport and drought in India.»
The «pan-Canadian framework» on
climate change is not fully fleshed out but does call for a
national meeting
with provinces within 90 days of the Paris
climate conference in December to establish new
national emissions targets and «targeted funding» to provinces to meet those targets.
«We need to educate people
with this kind of
change in
climate,» says the Philippines
National Red Cross secretary - general
Climate change is happening now,
with impacts that are hitting American citizens in their wallets and affecting their quality of life, according to the new
National Climate Assessment report scheduled to be released today.
DISCOVER recently partnered
with NBC Learn, the
National Science Foundation, and Arizona State University to convene a town hall discussion that explored the impact of
climate change on our freshwater resources.

Instead, the Administration's plans for energy conservation and using energy sources
with less CO2 emission will help in the short - term, he said; down the road, a new
National Climate Change Technology Initiative will help develop cutting - edge technologies such as fuel cells and carbon dioxide sequestration, Bush said.
«
National action must be at the center of our response to
climate change —
with industrialized countries taking the lead.»
«Our recent extremes may be strongly

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA — In the run - up to
national elections on 21 August, the country's top science body, the Australian Academy of Science (AAS), has weighed in on the
climate change debate
with a report backing the mainstream scientific view that human - induced
climate change is real and that a business - as - usual approach to carbon emissions will lead to a «catastrophic» four - to five - degree increase in average global temperatures.
«The
climate, biology, and society in the Arctic are
changing in rapid, complex, and interactive ways,
with effects throughout the region and, increasingly, the globe,» finds the report from the
National Research Council (NRC) of the U.S.
National Academies.
By remotely «combing» the atmosphere
with a custom laser - based instrument, researchers from the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration
with researchers from the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), have developed a new technique that can accurately measure — over a sizeable distance — amounts of several of the major «greenhouse» gases implicated in
climate change.
Co-author Nerilie Abram, from the Australian
National University, said: «In order to better understand
climate change in Antarctica, we need continued
climate measurements in the Antarctic and Southern Ocean, and extension of these short observational records
with past
climate reconstructions and
climate modelling.»
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.
For example, the frogs of La Selva Biological Station in Braulio Carrillo
National Park in Costa Rica's Caribbean lowlands have endured a 75 percent drop in population since 1970, perhaps due to
climate change, according to a study by biologist Steven Whitfield of Florida International University in Miami, who was not affiliated
with this study.
This is a much - needed approach, because
climate change «really deals
with all aspects of weather,» says Kevin Trenberth, head of the
climate analysis section at the
National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado.
As for the paper's conclusion that removing atmospheric carbon is necessary in order to achieve the 2 ˚C target,
climate scientist Richard Moss of the Pacific Northwest
National Laboratory's Joint Global
Change Research Institute in College Park, Maryland, says that's a nearly impossible goal «
with what we know about today.»
Now the
National Science Foundation (NSF), along
with the U.S. Energy and Agriculture departments are teaming up to financially support the development of new computer models aimed at revealing the anticipated effects of
climate change at the regional level.
That is why discover is teaming up
with NBC and the
National Science Foundation for two more town hall events exploring how we can best respond to
climate change.
New data show that extreme weather events have become more frequent over the past 36 years,
with a significant uptick in floods and other hydrological events compared even
with five years ago, according to a new publication, «Extreme weather events in Europe: Preparing for
climate change adaptation: an update on EASAC's 2013 study» by the European Academies» Science Advisory Council (EASAC), a body made up of 27
national science academies in the European Union, Norway, and Switzerland.
Health, food security,
climate change, sustainable energy, urban systems, digital technologies, and space will be the

with input from the French
national research agency (CNRS) and five large research - coordinating networks.
