2013-01-16 14:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate News: In an essay after superstorm Sandy, Michael Gerrard, director of the Center for Climate Change Law At Columbia University [3], proposed that instead of thinking about what Sandy was, we should focus on "what Hurricane Sandy was not [4]," as his title put it. Sandy was neither a worst-case climate event nor a 100-year storm, he says. And because there's already so much heat roiling the climate system, government action won't stop future warming and future Sandys for at least the next century. So...

In late June record-breaking heat met or exceeded more than 1,900 previous daily high temperature records. Throughout the year dry, hot conditions in the West aggravated wildfires, which burned large swaths of New Mexico, Colorado...

Australia: Extremes more common with climate change
2013-01-09 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
AAP: SMALL rises in the average temperature can mean a big rise in the number of scorching hot days. At first glance, that might not seem logical. Shouldn't small changes in the temperature mean small changes in the frequency of scorchers? Unfortunately, the answer is no. Take Tasmania, for example. Temperatures have been rising in the island state. In the first 20 years of data available from the Bureau of Meteorology, 1911 to 1930, the temperature across Tasmania averaged 10.3 degrees...
