"Scientists [writing in the current issue of 'Nature'] have outlined plans to build a series of mammoth engineering projects in Greenland and Antarctica to help slow down the disintegration of the planet’s main glaciers. The controversial proposals include underwater walls, artificial islands and huge pumping stations that would channel cold water into the bases of glaciers to stop them from melting and sliding into the sea"

Carbon dioxide addition to coral reef waters suppresses net community calcification Nature

"Ocean acidification poses a chronic threat to coral reefs… We present an estimate of [ecological] community-scale calcification sensitivity… Near-future reductions in the aragonite saturation state will compromise the ecosystem function of coral reefs."

Small hydropower a big global issue overlooked by science and policy Mongabay

"The escalation in small hydropower development [in Brazil] comes at a time when large dams are falling out of favour as a source of renewable energy: mounting evidence points to... impacts [that include] contributing to carbon emissions"

Models assume we'll cover Earth in trees. That's a problem E&E Climatewire

"Research increasingly suggests that [Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage] is not feasible at the scale necessary to make a real dent in global climate goals — at least, not without causing massive... disruptions"

Where Are America’s Winters
Warming the Most? In Cold Places. The New York Times

"Warmer winters have become more common across most of the country [over 30 years]. The most significant temperature increases can be seen in the Northern Great Plains, a region stretching from Montana to Michigan"
