If fossil fuel infrastructure is not rapidly changed, the world will 'lose for ever' the chance to avoid dangerous climate change...Carbon dioxide, once released into the atmosphere, stays there and continues to have a warming effect for about a century, and industrial infrastructure is built to have a useful life of several decades at least.
Adamenko said that the long drought that started in the middle of summer sharply had changed to cold weather, which did not allow plants to develop enough for hibernation. At present, winter temperatures are coming to Ukraine, and it is not expected that it will again be warm enough for the situation with the development of the winter crops to change.
"Even in Crimea there is a lack of warmth… and 50% of crops will not sprout due to a lack of warmth," she added.
She said that the better situation was seen in western regions of the country, which are under influence of European meteorological processes. However, even in Khmelnytsky, Rivne and Ternopil regions, where winter crops as usual were good enough for hibernation, winter crops are in various phases of their development, the expert said.
Adamenko said that on November 8, minus 15 degrees centigrade were registered in the east of Ukraine, which is a very rapid fall for November.
"I'm afraid that winter crops could be killed by frost in the first half of winter," she said.
Shumlin wants UVM to focus on math, science | vt.Buzz
[Warmist Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin, still living in 2007] Capitalizing on UVM’s leadership in environmental and complex systems – systems that address one of my top priorities, the reality of our changing climate – by expanding its academic programs and offerings in climate change. I have long believed that the University can become a top national leader in this arena and am optimistic about the entrepreneurial opportunities in confronting climate change.
