ARTICLE REVIEWS
Atlantic story on the climate implications of reduced beef consumption could provide clearer context
in The Atlantic, by James Hamblin

“The article provides an excellent summary of how rising air temperatures are leading to drier conditions and more fire activity among forests in parts of the western United States. The article is strengthened by including multiple interviews with scientists who have produced seminal studies of fire-climate interactions in this region.”

The Atlantic accurately explores climate context for Tropical Storm Harvey
in The Atlantic, by Robinson Meyer

The Atlantic accurately reports on study of the economic impacts of continued climate change in the US
in The Atlantic, by Robinson Meyer

The study finds that the impacts would not be uniform throughout the country, but would reduce GDP to a greater degree in southern states, for example, while the northernmost states could experience net economic benefits from warmer temperatures.
