Eutrophication of lakes will significantly increase greenhouse gas emissions

The greening or eutrophication of the world's lakes will increase the emission of methane into the atmosphere by 30 to 90 percent during the next 100 years, say researchers. This increased methane emission is equivalent to 18-33 percent of annual carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels. Limiting lake greening is important to preserve fragile water supplies and to avoid acceleration of climate change. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190326081426.htm

Arctic warming contributes to drought

According to new research, changes similar to those after the ice age 10,000 years ago could be in store today because a warming Arctic weakens the temperature difference between the tropics and the poles. This, in turn, results in less precipitation, weaker cyclones and weaker mid-latitude westerly wind flow -- a recipe for prolonged drought. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190327161247.htm
