A modelling study shows that cutting greenhouse-gas emissions has the potential to stabilize global temperature increases, but predicts that sea level will continue to rise for centuries, and rapidly so,
Increasing shrub cover on Arctic tundra is linked to climate warming, which is partially amplified by sea ice feedbacks, but the nature of these interactions remains poorly understood. Now research indicates
This study provides a quantitative approach that predicts the response of coral calcification to the combined effects of ocean acidification and global warming. The analysis suggests that warm-water aragonitic
While national carbon dioxide emissions are regularly published for most countries, data specific to individual sectors, companies, geographic regions, or facilities are more difficult to obtain – if available

Global warming is a cumulative threat not just to the world on the whole, but also to prized natural chains like the Eastern Ghats, said Tamil Nadu Governor K Rosaiah. Speaking at the inauguration of the third regional convention on Eastern Ghats, hosted by the SRM University here on Monday, he said, “The effects of global warming add a catastrophic threat towards a mass extinction of global biological diversity. We must remember that 25 per cent of the Eastern Ghats are in Tamil Nadu and a great amount of our State’s biodiversity, ethnic diversity, mineral wealth and catchment for watersheds lie in this region.”
