A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/nature\/journal\/v447\/n7144\/abs\/nature05785.html\">new study published in <em>Nature<\/em><\/a> added a new twist: <strong>global warming and hurricanes might interact to make global warming worse<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Global warming increases both evaporation and rainfall. In a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencemag.org\/cgi\/content\/abstract\/1140746\">paper released through <em>Science Express<\/em><\/a>, scientists showed that climate models were spot-on in predicting evaporation but underestimated rainfall. This is a great dataset to help scientists fine-tune the models. It also suggests that <strong>future rainfall could be higher in some areas than scientists have projected<\/strong>. Unfortunately, this does not dismiss concerns of drought in other areas. (Learn more <a href=\"http:\/\/sciencenow.sciencemag.org\/cgi\/content\/full\/2007\/531\/2\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>And the last item on today\u2019s menu: rainbow trout. In a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pnas.org\/cgi\/content\/abstract\/0701638104v1\">paper published in the <em>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences<\/em><\/a>, researchers described fish behavior and survival rates in several lakes. <strong>In warmer years, rainbow trout survival declined as much as 50 percent.<\/strong> The reason: as water warms, metabolism increases, so fish need to eat more \u2013 and that can put fish in harm\u2019s way. Hungry young trout expose themselves to predators more often.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Want more details on any of these studies?
