To understand the impact of human activities on climate, Scientists have begun monitoring monsoons in the eastern Yangtze River Delta in China.
Scientists are for the first time tracking monsoons in the eastern Yangtze River Delta in China, to understand how human activities have impacted on climate change.
The team of scientists that is carrying out the research is from the Monsoon Asia Integrated Regional Study (MAIRS).
High-altitude Lakes Studied as Global Warming "hot Spots"
A team of scientists from the US are studying high-altitude lakes in the Central Andes as global warming hot spots , and their ability to sustain life in a highly dynamic environment.

Scientists under MAIRS, the first project on climate change initiated by Chinese scientists, had been following monsoon activities in the semi-arid areas of northwestern China for about a year to find out how the Asian monsoon system copes with changes in land coverage, water resources and air quality resulted from industrialization.
Under guidance of the SSC, which consists of 15 leading scientists from different Asian countries, MAIRS would start tracking monsoons in the eastern Yangtze River Delta soon.
Major Cities Losing Sunlight Thanks to Thick Clouds of Pollution
A new research has determined that the Sun is fading above major cities around the world as thick clouds of pollution prevent its rays from reaching the ground.

The overall project is studying changes in monsoons in Asia, the most active monsoon region in the world, to find out how human activity has affected climate change.

World's Forests may be Devastated by Climate Change
A group of forest scientists has warned that unless immediate action is taken, climate change could have a devastating effect on the world's forests and the nearly 1 billion people

Recent studies by the world's scientists show that increase in emissions of greenhouse gases, mostly carbon dioxide, and overuse of land and pastures are partly to blame for the decrease in crop output and abnormality in precipitation.

CO2 in the Air can be Measured in Wine's Bouquet
Amount of fossil-fuel-derived carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air over the vineyard can be measured in the wine's alcohol say scientists.

The MAIRS program will interact with international and regional research bodies such as the Global Environmental Change and Food Systems (GECAFS), Global Water System Project (GWSP), Global Carbon Project (GCP), and the Asian-Australian Monsoon Panel (AMMP).
