Changing winds herald climate risks for Arctic airports. New research suggests that gradual shifts in average wind speed and direction due to climate change will render at least some airstrips in the Arctic less safe in the future unless costly upgrades are put in place to help mitigate the increased risk.
China’s pollution could be behind our cold, snowy winters. Many scientists think that climate change might be one cause of this year’s “snowpocalypse” in Boston and bitter cold snaps in New York and Washington. But physicists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have been looking into another culprit: air pollution in China and India.
