Severe drought no longer caused just by nature
2016-02-02 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Scientists at the University of Birmingham are calling on drought researchers and managers around the world to consider both human activity and natural phenomena in their battle to preserve increasingly scarce global water supplies. The experts say that severe droughts experienced recently in countries such as China, Brazil and the United States can no longer be seen as purely natural hazards. Changes to the way people use the water and the landscape contribute to extreme wate…

Human impacts on climate caused record warm years
2016-01-31 16:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Recent record warm years are with extremely high likelihood caused by human-made climate change. Without greenhouse-gas emissions from burning coal and oil, the odds are vanishingly small that 13 out of the 15 warmest years ever measured would all have happened in the current, still young century. These odds are between 1 in 5000 and 1 in 170.000, a new study by an international team of scientists now shows. Including the data for 2015, which came in after the study was completed, makes the odds...

Record hot years almost certainly caused by man-made warming
2016-01-25 11:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A record-breaking string of hot years since 2000 is almost certainly a sign of man-made global warming, with vanishingly small chances that it was caused by random, natural swings, a study showed on Monday. Last year was the hottest since records began in the 19th century in a trend that almost all scientists blame on greenhouse gases from burning of fossil fuels, stoking heat waves, droughts, downpours and rising sea levels. "Recent observed runs of record temperatures are extremely unlikely...
21st century warm streak almost certainly human caused
2016-01-25 11:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: The chances of natural variability causing the record warm streak this century are vanishingly small. Greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels are "almost certainly" behind the surge in global temperatures, according to a study published in Nature. Without human activities, scientists calculate the odds are between 1 in 5000 and 1 in 170000 of the pattern seen between 2000 and 2014: thirteen of the 15 warmest years on record. "2015 is again the warmest year on record, and this can hardly...
