NASA climate study warns unprecedented North American drought
2015-02-16 15:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: California is in the midst of its worst drought in over 1,200 years, exacerbated by record hot temperatures. A new study led by Benjamin Cook at Nasa GISS examines how drought intensity in North America will change in a hotter world, and finds that things will only get worse. Global warming intensifies drought in several ways. In increases evaporation from soil and reservoirs. In increases water demand. It makes precipitation fall more as rain and less as snow, which is problematic for regions like...

Daily News: America the beautifuls amber waves of grain could dry up and blow away if carbon emissions arent curbed, scientists predict. Unprecedented drought conditions, could leave much of California, the Southwest and Midwest dry as a bone by 2050 due to global warming, according to a study NASA scientists released Thursday. The epic dry spells would make current droughts look like a break in the clouds compared with the arid conditions predicted. Nearly every year is going to be dry toward the end...

NASA Predicts 'Megadroughts' Due To Climate Change
2015-02-14 17:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Newsy: A new NASA study found that parts of the U.S. are at risk for Megadroughts during the second half of this century because of climate change. These droughts would hit the American southwest and great plains, and would be the worst the country has seen in the past 1,000 years. Over the past four years, droughts in California and the southwest have cost the area billions of dollars in agricultural losses, fire damage and lost jobs. NASA climate scientist Ben Cook says these naturally occurring...
NASA Researchers forecast decades long mega-drought to hit Southwest of the US

Westside Story: A decades-long mega-droughts is likely to hit the U.S. Southwest and Central Plains regions during the second half of this century, if climate change issues go unattended forecasts researchers from NASA, Columbia and Cornell universities. The study findings are published in the journal Science Advances. The new forecast is based on models of continued climate change and considers the lagging pace of many countries in mitigating the output of greenhouse gases. The study findings reveal that there...
