Global warming causes altered wind patterns and warmer ocean temperatures. Study shows that this in turn leads to more hurricanes and storms.

Thirteen million Nigerians are currently at risk due to climate change vulnerability, says a report on Nigeria under UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. It says that those at risk would have to relocate.The report indicates that the inhabitants of the nation's coastal areas and communities on desertification zone would be at serious risk as well as floods and erosion in the coastal areas.

The number of hurricanes that strike each year has more than doubled over the past century, an increase tied to global warming, according to a study released Sunday.

OZONE smog will accentuate global warming this century, for it will damage plants and trees that help soak up carbon emissions, a study to be published today said. Its authors fear a major factor in the climate-change equation has been badly overlooked.

While the increasing carbon dioxide level should encourage plant growth, the increasing greenhouse ozone near the earth's surface is countering that effect.
