Cotacachi is the highest volcanic peak in northern Ecuador, and the Cotacacheños live on and around the base of the mountain, which has completely lost its glacier over the past 5 years.<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>"The Cotacacheños believe that they live on the mountain's 'skirt' under the watchful eye of the goddess Cotacachi," Rhoades said. "She is a mother-figure that regulates and supports their society."<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As a result of the glacial melting high on Cotacachi's peaks, the agriculture-based local economy is suffering as rains become more sporadic and sources of irrigation dry up. Many older members of the community refer to the weather as "playing" with them and their livelihood, although younger members tend to cite global climate change and scientific factors as the cause.<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>"What makes this community so interesting and this study so important is the way that local lore is influencing reaction to a major environmental issue," Rhoades said. "Because current cultural memory views the mountain – and its glacier – as a provider, reactions to the decrease in water availability and agricultural adaptations – for example, changing the types of crops planted on the mountain's slopes – has been sluggish. Societal memory dictates that the mountain is unchanged; when researchers requested local drawings of the mountain, even the most recent depictions display a non-existent snow-capped peak.<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>"There is definitely a mental lag between what they [indigenous people] know about the past and what is now happening," Rhoades said, "and I think this case is a microcosm for all of humanity." This lag can slow the social changes that are imperative to the survival of these local communities, such as revamping outdated water concessions to achieve more equitable distribution and creating more efficient irrigation and potable water infrastructure.</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><SPAN style=""><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF">***************************************************</FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF"><O:P></O:P></FONT></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><SPAN style=""><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF" face="Helvetica"><B>Science News</B></FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF" face="Helvetica"><O:P></O:P></FONT></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><B>Scientists Focus on Warming Disasters</B><B><O:P></O:P></B></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>from the Associated Press<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>WASHINGTON, (AP) -- A man stands on a railroad track as a train rumbles closer.<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>"Global warming?" he says.

Nations facing rising oceans and drought are those least responsible for the problem, and they have the least resources to cope with them. To evaluate claims of environmental injustice, we examine three cases where the first signs of climate change are being felt worst and first: murderous flooding from Hurricane Mitch in Honduras, rising sea levels swamping entire Pacific Island atoll nations, and devastation from flooding among squatter settlements in Mozambique. In each case these nations are suffering not only because of bad geography or management. Rather, because of their colonial past and current positions in the world economy, they are brutally vulnerable to forces outside their control. We conclude by offering an explanation for generalized mistrust among Southern nations vis-à-vis Northern nations and the Kyoto treaty.</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; ">********************<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><B>New climate projections for 2100</B><B><O:P></O:P></B></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Science 21 April 2006:<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Vol. 312. no. 5772, p. 351<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Latest Forecast: Stand By for a Warmer, But Not Scorching, World Richard A. Kerr<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>While newly climate-conscious news reporters seek signs of apocalyptic change in hungry polar bears and pumped-up hurricanes, evidence-oriented researchers are working to nail down some numbers. They are concerned with climate sensitivity: how much a given increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide will warm the world. If it's extremely high, continued emissions of greenhouse gases could ignite a climatic firestorm. If it's very low, they might merely raise the global thermostat a notch or two.<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now two new studies that combine independent lines of evidence agree that climate sensitivity is at least moderately strong--moderate enough so that a really scorching warming appears unlikely. Even with the most conservative assumptions, says climate researcher Chris E. Forest of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, the studies cool the maximum warming. And the reinforced low end of the range, he says, means continued emissions will fuel a substantial warming in this century.<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The new studies use a technique called Bayesian statistics to gauge how adding new information improves past estimates of climate sensitivity. Most previous estimates used only a single line of evidence, such as how climate warmed as greenhouse gases increased during the 20th century or how climate cooled right after the debris from a major volcanic eruption shaded the planet. Lately, such analyses have tended to support a 25-year-old guess about climate sensitivity: If the concentration of CO2 were to double, as is expected by late in the 21st century, the world would warm between a modest 1.5°C and a hefty 4.5°C (Science, 13 August 2004, p. 932 <A href="http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/305/5686/932"><SPAN style="text-decoration: none; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/305/5686/932</FONT></SPAN></A>. The low end of that range looked fairly firm; the negligible warming claimed by greenhouse contrarians looked very unlikely. But no one was sure about the high end. Some studies allowed a real chance that doubling CO2 could raise temperatures by 7°C, 9°C, or even 11°C (Science, 28 January 2005, p. 497 <A href="http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/307/5709/497a"><SPAN style="text-decoration: none; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/307/5709/497a</FONT></SPAN></A>.<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Figure 1 Sharpening the odds.

Climate modeler Gabriele Hegerl of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, and colleagues started with Northern Hemisphere temperatures between 1270 and 1850 extracted from records such as tree rings. In those preindustrial times, volcanoes, the waxing and waning of the sun, and natural variations in greenhouse gases were changing temperature. Hegerl and her colleagues then combined the preindustrial temperature response to those climate forcings with the global response in the 20th century to volcanoes, rising greenhouse gases, and thickening pollutant hazes. In this week's issue of Nature, they report a 5% probability that climate sensitivity is less than 1.5°C and a 95% chance that it's less than 6.2°C. That's still pretty high, but a far cry from 9°C or 11°C.<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In a similar study published on 18 March in Geophysical Research Letters, climate modelers James Annan and Julia Hargreaves of the Frontier Research Center for Global Change in Yokohama, Japan, found the same lower limit of 1.5°C and a 95% upper limit of 4.5°C. They combined published 20th century warming data with records of coolings after recent volcanic eruptions and estimates of chilling in the depths of the latest ice age.<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">"Combining multiple lines of evidence is certainly the way to go," says Forest. An extremely high climate sensitivity "is probably less likely than we thought a year ago," agrees climate researcher Reto Knutti of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. More importantly, "we start to see a much better agreement on the lower bound," says Knutti. "We can be pretty sure the changes will be substantial" by the end of the century, he says.<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;text-align: center; "> <FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF">***************************************************</FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF"><O:P style=""></O:P></FONT></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><DIV class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF" face="Helvetica"><B>Forum</B></FONT></DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF" face="Helvetica"><B></B></FONT></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><B>Blog on Climate Change by Simon Donner</B><B><O:P></O:P></B></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Submited by Simon Donner, Princeton University<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>People ask me all the time for a source of regular news or commentary on climate, science and energy issues.
