Huffington Post: Plants' Reactions To Climate Change Examined In New Study Posted: 02 May 2012 11:07 AM PDT * Plants flowering 8.5 times faster than predicted * Changes have knock-on effect for food chain, ecosystems By Nina Chestney LONDON, May 2 (Reuters) - Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted in response to climate change, research in the United States showed on Wednesday, which could have devastating knock-on effects for food chains and ecosystems. Global warming is having a significant impact on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, changing some breeding, migration and feeding patterns, scientists say. Increased carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels can affect how plants produce oxygen, while higher temperatures and variable rainfall patterns can change their behaviour. "Predicting species' response to climate change is a major challenge in ecology," said researchers at the University of California San Diego and several other U.S. institutions. They said plants had been the focus of study because their response to climate change could affect food chains and ecosystem services such as pollination, nutrient cycles and water supply. The study, published on the Nature website, draws on evidence from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1,634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and growing leaves by 4 times. "Across all species, the experiments under-predicted the magnitude of the advance - for both leafing and flowering - that results from temperature increases," the study said. The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it said. Plants are essential to life on Earth. They are the base of the food chain, using photosynthesis to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They expel oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism which inhabits the planet. Scientists estimate the world's average temperature has risen by about 0.8 degrees Celsius since 1900, and nearly 0.2 degrees per decade since 1979. So far, efforts to cut emissions of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as sufficient to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2 degrees C this century - a threshold scientists say risks an unstable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failures and rising sea levels.

Huffington Post: Connecticut To Become 49th State To Sell Alcohol On Sunday Posted: 02 May 2012 11:07 AM PDT By Mary Ellen Godin HARTFORD, Conn, May 1 (Reuters) - Connecticut took a major step toward becoming the 49th state to allow Sunday alcohol sales when the Senate voted on Tuesday to allow liquor stores to sell beer, wine and spirits any day of the week. Governor Dannel Malloy pledged to sign the bill that passed the Senate on a 28-6 vote following similar approval by the House. He said such sales would help Connecticut hang onto dollars that had been flowing on Sundays to neighboring Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New York. Malloy's signature will leave Indiana as the only state in the country to ban all alcohol sales on Sunday, said Frank Coleman, spokesman for the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. "Our current laws have cost Connecticut businesses millions of dollars as consumers have flocked over our borders in search of more convenient hours and lower prices," Malloy said in a statement.

Huffington Post: Metrorail Diagram Is Relic From Yesteryear When NoMa, Penn Quarter Didn't Exist (PHOTOS) Posted: 01 May 2012 10:53 AM PDT WASHINGTON -- Do you remember when Yellow Line trains didn't go north of Mount Vernon Square, a time where "Penn Quarter" and "Ronald Reagan" were not part of Metrorail station identities ... a time when the Blue Line extension to Largo Town Center was just a dashed line on the map? While riding the Red Line on Monday evening in rail car No. 1230, The Huffington Post looked over at the posted rail system diagram and noted it was more than a decade old. For that digram to survive a handful of updates over the past 10 years is amazing. But this map, like all others in the system, will be replaced in the upcoming weeks as Metro prepares to launch its new Rush-Plus peak rail service pattern in June. A decade ago, the Orange Line was a slightly more pale orange, the system diagram was slightly less crowded and some station names were different. Read More... More on Video
