2 Studies Supporting Observed & Expected Climate Change

http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=104326 reports on a study by Inez Fung of the University of California at Berkeley showing that Fossil Fuel combustion emissions would be expected (based on a computer simulation) to reduce how much carbon the earth can sequester. This would mean that increases in carbon gases in the atmosphere would probably accelerate over time.

http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=104325 reports that Kerry Emanuel of MIT has determined that in the last 30 years, hurricaines have grown significantly more fierce, especially when they form over warmer waters.

You would like to think these kinds of studies will convince the US Executive Branch, as well as the laggards in Congress and in industry, that policies to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases are important to put into effect as soon as possible.
