Why 2014 Won’t Be the Warmest Year on Record (21 October 2014) - Much is being made of the “global” surface thermometer data, which
three-quarters the way through 2014 is now suggesting the global average this
year will be the warmest in the modern instrumental record. Dr. Roy Spencer
explains why he feels this is wrong...
Sea Level Rates-of-Rise Along Europe's North Sea
Coastline
(21 October 2014)
Have they accelerated as the air's CO2 concentration has continued its upward climb?...

Gene Expression Plasticity Evolution in Threespine
Stickleback Fish (21 October 2014) - A new study finds extremely compelling support for it, and that is
encouraging news for those concerned about animal range expansions or shifts
caused by climate change...
Mid- and High-Latitude Forests Respond to
Environmental Change (20 October 2014) - To "reduce the uncertainties in predicting future carbon dynamics in
forest ecosystems, land surface models should not only consider land-use
history, but also account for key physiological processes governing the fate of
carbon sequestration in forest ecosystems, such as the effects of CO2
fertilization, nitrogen deposition, and climate warming on vegetation
growth."...
Historical Diurnal (why can't they just say "daily") Temperature Range Trends in CMIP5
Models
(20 October 2014) - It would seem that "ubiquitous model deficiencies in cloud cover and land
surface processes that impact the accurate simulation of regional minimum or
maximum temperature changes" are likely responsible for the inability of
the models to simulate real-world DTR observations...
Effects of Elevated CO2 on Eucalypt Growth and
Leaf-Spot Severity (18 October 2014) - In going
from the lowest to the highest atmospheric CO2 concentrations, shoot dry weight
increased by 47% and root dry weight by 24%, while leaf-spot disease
incidence declined by 36% and its severity by 57%...
Twentieth Century Changes in California's Sierra
Nevada Forests
(18 October 2014) - If the CO2 emitted to the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels over the
past century or so has been having an effect on the forests of California's
Sierra Nevada, that effect has been not only positive, but hugely
positive...
CMIP5 Simulations of the North American Monsoon
System (17
October 2014) - In how many ways are the current best models still falling short of reality?...
Plant Growth Database (17 October 2014) - Our latest result of plant growth responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment
obtained from experiments described in the peer-reviewed scientific literature
is for Garden Bean (Bunce, 2014)...
