Ulkomaisia ilmastouutisia viikolla 12/2012

Tämä on hieman poikkeuksellinen viikko, samaan tapaan kuin joskus aiempinakin vuosina, eli nyt ei tule katsausta joka käsittelisi pelkästään viikkoa 12/2012 (19.3.2012-25.3.2012). Tässä ovat kuitenkin kyseisen viikon uutislinkit. Niistä voi tulla jotakin mukaan ensi viikolla ilmestyvään katsaukseen, mutta sitä ei voi tietää vielä tässä vaiheessa :-)
