Biological Microcosms of the Future: Vegetation growing in warmer and CO2-enriched city air reveal the potential future of earth's plant life.

Subject Index Summary
Storms (Europe: United Kingdom): 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 the validity of this hypothesis. The present review examines what has been learned about storm trends in and around the United Kingdom.
