Irrigation alleviates hot extremes driven by human-caused climate change
New research finds that irrigation can cancel out, or even reverse, the increased risk of heat extremes associated with human-caused climate change.

Global forests soaking up carbon at quickening rate
The world's forests are taking up increasingly more carbon, partially offsetting the carbon being released by the burning of fossil fuels and by deforestation in the tropics, according to a new synthesis of model simulations.

Cover crops may increase winter temperatures in North America
Cover crops grown in fields during winter may be warming temperatures in the northern United States and southern Canada, according to a new study by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. The crops, a land management strategy farmers use between growing seasons, create a darker surface than a snow-covered field, absorbing more heat from the Sun and producing a local warming effect.
