temperature changes

With fossil fuels waning, a public awareness of global warming and biodiversity issues increasing, and new green technologies breaking into public markets, the world is poised for planning sustainability of a global society.

IAMAS, IAPSO and IACS invite the international atmospheric, oceanographic and cryospheric research communities to their 2009 Joint Assembly. The theme of the Assembly is Our Warming Planet.

The 2nd Climate Change Technology Conference (CCTC 2009) is a Canadian / international forum for engineers, scientists, policy advisors, industry and other stakeholders to share and exchange new information and ideas for dealing with climate change and global warming.

CSIRO, in conjunction with the Australian Climate Change Science Program, is proud to announce GREENHOUSE 2009: Climate Change and Resources. The conference is the latest in the 'GREENHOUSE' series, following the highly-successful events in 2007 in Sydney, and 2005 in Melbourne.

This conference will bring together representatives from the U.S.-Mexican border states, federal officials, local water agencies and academia to discuss drought in the border area, including climatic drivers, the outlook for improving climate forecasting skills, the possibility of long-term drying trends in the region, and Colorado River Basin/Rio Grande Basin drought management activities.

Using an "ensemble" of 18 global climate models and the moderate "A1B" emissions scenario, researchers at the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) predict warming in the Southwest at the end of this century of approximately 5-7 degrees F for winter (December-February) relative to average temperatures 1971-2000.

Using an "ensemble" of 18 global climate models and the moderate "A1B" emissions scenario, researchers at the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) predict warming in the Southwest at the end of this century of approximately 7-8 degrees F for summer (June-August) relative to average temperatures 1971-2000.
