...says Goodstein, an economist and Director of the Bard Center for Environmental Policy. The high price reflects anticipated losses in agriculture and real estate plus the cost of disease outbreaks and natural disasters associated with rising sea levels. The melt, he says, is already adding extra heat at an annual rate of 3 billion tons of CO2 - the equivalent of 500 coal-powered plants, or more than 40% of all U.S. fossil fuel emissions - and this is expected to more than double by the end of the century.

...research team looked at the rate at which surfaces change from white ice and snow to ocean or exposed tundra, since darker surfaces absorb, rather than reflect, solar heat. According to the report, this shift and the increased methane emissions linked with melting permafrost currently slap us with annual losses in the range of $61 billion to $371 "resulting from such changes as heat waves and flooding." But the anticipated monetary fallout described in the study, expected to run deep into the trillions over the coming decades, may actually be conservative, as it does not take into account the recently...
...Sept. 30, 2009, "substantially outnumbered" new vehicle registrations. Polk's tally for the 15-month period shows that 14.8 million vehicles were scrapped, while registrations of new vehicles totaled 13.6 million.

Vrtilek, a senior professor at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and a veteran FIRST judge, wants Harvard to sponsor a team, calling her annual participation invigorating and fun. Even the judges get in on the craziness; during timeouts they dance the Macarena. “The idea is so that the kids see that the judges are normal people,” Vrtilek said. While the participants’ normalcy may be up for debate, the packed arena loudly asserted that, yes, STEM fields...
