Wave Patterns In The Atmosphere Help Explain Weather Extremes

RedOrbit: In recent years, the world has suffered from severe regional weather extremes such as the heat wave in the US in 2011, or the one in Russia in 2010 that coincided with the unprecedented Pakistan flood. There is one common physical cause behind these individual events, according to a new study from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research [PIK]. The findings of the study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences [PNAS], suggest man made climate change repeatedly disturbs...

ScienceDaily: The world has suffered from severe regional weather extremes in recent years, such as the heat wave in the United States in 2011 or the one in Russia 2010 coinciding with the unprecedented Pakistan flood. Behind these devastating individual events there is a common physical cause, propose scientists of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). The study will be published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and suggests that man-made climate change repeatedly...

Global warming may cause extremes by slowing "planetary waves"
2013-02-25 21:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Global warming may have caused extreme events such as a 2011 drought in the United States and a 2003 heatwave in Europe by slowing vast, wave-like weather flows in the northern hemisphere, scientists said on Tuesday. The study of meandering air systems that encircle the planet adds to understanding of extremes that have killed thousands of people and driven up food prices in the past decade. Such planetary air flows, which suck warm air from the tropics when they swing north and draw cold air...

'Ice loss, weather extremes show climate risk'
2013-02-19 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: The record shrinkage of Arctic sea ice last year and a spell of catastrophic droughts, floods and storms highlight the risk of climate change, the UN Environment Programme said yesterday. In an annual review of the world's environment, that coincided with ministerial-level talks in Nairobi, the UN group also warned of an alarming surge in elephant and rhino poaching. In 2012, summer sea ice in the Arctic covered a record low of 3.4million square kilometres, which was 18% below the previous...
The Correct Balance Isnt At The Extremes
2013-01-31 23:17:00| Beef
The either-or debate over low cost vs. high output/quality, or the use of technology vs. traditional production methods, are just red herrings. They are mythological at their foundation because the conflict between them is a construct of desire not reality. The absolutism of either side has been proven to be false.
