This from CCNET: 2008 - A TIPPING POINT? David Whitehouse [me@davidwhitehouse.com] Dear Benny, In a few weeks the data will be in on the global average temperature for 2008. Although one should always be wary about assumptions regarding data (the December data hasn¹t been measured yet) it does seem highly likely that 2008 will continue the trend seen [...]

India's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft has successfully sent back some of its first science data and images from the moon, but the spacecraft is also experiencing rising temperatures, and mission managers have decided to use the instruments sparingly to avoid overheating. Chandrayaan-1 is currently orbiting over the sunlit side of the moon, and a rise in temperatures...

Scientists have switched off several on-board instruments to halt rising temperatures inside India's first unmanned lunar spacecraft. Mylswamy Annadurai, the project director for the lunar mission, told CNN that temperatures onboard Chandrayaan-1 had risen to 49 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Fahrenheit). The increase occurred as the craft, the moon -- which it is orbiting -- and...

Malaria and dengue fever will spread across Australia and the Pacific Islands from south and southeast Asia as climate change allows mosquitoes to travel to areas that were once too cold for them to survive, according to a new report. Though Australia has been free of malaria since 1962, rising temperatures could make areas as far [...]

... it fails to call for steps to combat global warming, which threatens coral habitat. Higher ocean temperatures contribute to coral bleaching, and the ocean's absorption of amounts of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels contributes to ocean acidification, which makes it more difficult for corals to grow. "The critical-habitat rule exposes the Bush agenda to ignore global warming,...

... natural habitat, energy water resources, and food production early in the next century.In fact, rising temperatures from man-made global warming were forecast for each decade by the IPCC prior to the start of this century. The basis of this prediction of global warming is a climate model based on the assumption that global warming is caused by increasing atmospheric CO2 gas emissions...

Rising carbon dioxide levels are increasing acidity in the oceans 10 times faster than scientists thought, posing a greater threat to shell-forming creatures such as coral and mussels.An eight-year project in the Pacific has found that rising marine acid levels will challenge many organisms, because their shell-making chemistry is critically dependent on a less acidic, more alkaline environment....
