Daily Downers: Springing back
Bad news is funnier read all in a row:
>> Climate change is delaying spring in some areas. It's possible that "some plants need to be exposed to a short cold snap to sprout" -- and this cold snap hasn't really been happening of late.
>> Oceans are headed for a 4.6-foot rise even if factories were shut down today and cars taken off the roads, says the latest report from the the U.N. panel of scientists.
>> India is getting about 5% less sunlight than it did 20 years ago, according to a study at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology. "India is losing out on sunshine because a cloud of tiny air-borne particles released by the nation's industries hovers above the subcontinent, blocking light from reaching the Earth."
