ECO NOTES

NEW SCIENTIST - Within a century, half of the world's climates as we
know them will have vanished forever as a direct result of global
warming, taking thousands of species with them. These are the gloomy
projections of John Williams at the University of Wisconsin at Madison,
US, and colleagues, who have carried out the first global assessment of
how all of the Earth's local climates will be affected as the world
heats up. New, previously unseen types of climate will also emerge, they
say, with hotter temperatures and more rain. . . Comparing best and
worst outcomes, the team estimates that 20% to 39% of the world's land
would develop completely novel climates, and existing climates would
vanish in 20% to 48% of land area.
