impacts on the Southeast. \u00a0Over 100 people, representing 11 different states, are gathered to discuss the science of changing climate (both natural and man-made changes) and how those changes affect crops, livestock, forests, and the coasts in the Southeast. \u00a0In honor of the meeting, here are some current media stories on topics we are covering in SRECA this week. \u00a0You can read

indicators of climate change and their trends in graphical form as well as explanations for what the graphs are showing. \u00a0You can find this information at\u00a0<a title=\"NASA climate change key

article on climate modeling and how recent improvements in models have allowed climatologists to understand the recent hiatus in warming. \u00a0The most recent work shows that the warming predicted by earlier climate models has been partially counteracted by decreases in solar input, increases in volcanic aerosols, and heat storage in the deeper ocean. \u00a0You can read the article by clicking <a

decades. \u00a0A\u00a0<em>Yahoo News<\/em> article from September 2 shows why climate change impacts may start to affect world food supplies a lot sooner. \u00a0Those most affected are likely to be the people with the least disposable income. \u00a0You can read the story by clicking <a title=\"Yahoo News article on climate impacts on food security\"
