</u>We asked architects to draw up plans for the most energy-efficient
houses they could imagine. They imagined quite a bit.<br>

Excerpts:<br>
<br>
What will the energy-efficient house of the future look like?<br>
<br>
A fresh look may be long overdue, given the amount of damage that
homes can do to the environment.<br>
<br>
But the most important order for Mr. Mouzon is to make the house
compact. "The smaller thing you can create, the more sustainable
it is."</font><br>

surprising result is the high proportion of species responding to
recent, relatively mild climate change (global average warming of
0.6C). The proportion of wild species impacted by climate change was
estimated at 41% of all species (655 of 1598)."</font></div>

responses to climate change are actually documented?</b><br>
In the Northern Hemisphere, the range of terrestrial plants and
animals has shifted, on average, 6.1 km per decade northward or 6.1 m
per decade upwards, with advance of seasonal phenomena by 2.3-5.1 days
per decade over the past 50 years. These changes are significantly
correlated with measured changes in temperature and precipitation. The
relationships are correlative in essence, but are too robust, numerous
and consistent to be random or to have arisen from other factors (such
as natural climatic variability or land-use change). Similarly, the
remarkable increase in the plant diversity of some high-elevation
peaks in Switzerland over the past 100 years, owing to the upward
shift of species that traditionally inhabited lower elevations, can be
attributed to changed climate regimes."</font><br>
