- Advanced leaf-out, or early sprouting and opening leaves, is a direct response to climate change.

- Pilots report nearly 800 instances of severe turbulence a year. Using supercomputers to simulate the changes in air movement at cruising altitudes, study suggests the prospects of severe turbulence between 30,000 and 40,000 feet will increase by 149% if levels of atmospheric CO2 are doubled. http://english.iap.cas.cn/re/201704/t20170406_175810.html 17 comments science
