Let Them Eat Bugs!: The case for anthropoentomophagy.

Subject Index Summary
Storms (Europe: France): Among the highly publicized changes in weather phenomena that are predicted to attend the ongoing rise in the air's CO2 content are increases in the frequency and severity of all types of storms. As a result, and in an effort to determine if these predictions have any validity, many researchers have examined historical and proxy records in an attempt to determine how temperature changes over the past millennium or two have impacted this aspect of Earth's climate. This review examines what some of them have learned about storm trends in the European region around France.

Journal Reviews
The Evolving Status of the Western Greenland Ice Sheet: There is still much to learn about it; and with each new study of the subject, we're doing just that.

Urban Atolls of the World's Oceans: Succumbing to Rising Seas?: Don't bet on it.

Native vs. Invasive Plants in a CO2-Enrched World: Is one type of plant helped more than the other by rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations?

Climate Change Reconsidered
The 2011 Interim Report of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change: We provide a link to this report as a courtesy and encourage all to download and read it. The 2011 Interim Report presents an overview of the research on climate change that has appeared since publication of Climate Change Reconsidered: The 2009 Report of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change. Research published before 2009 was included if it did not appear in the 2009 report or provides context for the new research. Nearly all of the research summarized here appeared in peer-reviewed science journals.
