Climate Central: When the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a report on April 11 that seemed to exonerate global warming as a cause of last summer's historic drought, a reasonable person might conclude that global warming had been exonerated. After all, NOAA is a highly respected organization, and the report's lead author, meteorologist Martin Hoerling, is a widely respected scientist.

In its annual report on Americas Most Endangered Rivers, the organization placed the 1,400-mile Colorado at the top of the list of threatened rivers, saying the iconic river is so dammed, diverted, and drained that it dries to a trickle...

International Herald Tribune: During his most recent State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama cited the Great Plains drought last year as an example of extreme weather caused by climate change. According to a U.S. government report, things are not so simple. A new report by the Drought Task Force found that the central Great Plains drought, the worst drought in Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota since record keeping began in 1895, was mostly not the result of climate change. Instead,...

RedOrbit: In pushing for his green agenda, President Barack Obama has repeatedly cited last years massive drought, which cost the US $35 billion, as evidence of climate change.
