...This is a clear and unabashed oligarchy situation in which 150 people, max, run French business in a collusive but entirely legal manner," says Eric Grémont, a co-founder of PEOCS and a co-author of its upcoming book A la Découvert des Grands Patrons (Fleshing Out the Big Bosses). "You hear and read a lot about dynamic new companies and rising CEOs, but those are the tiny exceptions to the wider rule: French business is controlled by a small élite of very powerful men free to decide things as they wish - so long...
...idea that there might be fewer Atlantic hurricanes in a warming world is not a new one. Earlier studies led by Thomas Knutson of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), a co-author of this week's Science paper, had reached the same conclusion. The explanation for this seemingly paradoxical finding: hurricane activity is governed not only by ocean temperatures, but also by factors such as ocean currents and the speed and direction of wind in different layers of atmosphere. It turns out, says Knutson, that the key to hurricane frequency is not simply...
...however, a study in the journal Neurology suggests a more basic connection: genes. "Most people think that migraine patients are depressed because they have headaches," says the study's co-author, Dr. Gisela Terwindt, a neurologist at Leiden University in the Netherlands. "We found that there is a genetic predisposition by people with migraines to be depressed...
Beyond that, says David Lobell, a Stanford colleague of Field's and his co-author on a major 2007 review of how plants and climate interact, "while there's pretty clear evidence that CO2 helps plants, there's plenty of debate about how much it helps." One reason is that plants depend not only on carbon dioxide for healthy growth, but also on water and other nutrients. Increase CO2 without increasing the other factors, and you can get plants that are bigger, but relatively deficient in, say, nitrogen - meaning insects may have to eat more of each plant to stay...
...study could help make climate-change models more accurate, and help scientists understand whether increasing temperatures will lead to even higher methane emissions down the road. "It's all about more accurately describing climate in these models," says Paul Palmer, a geoscientist at the University of Edinburgh and a co-author of the Science paper...
