Alaska is way, way hotter than normal right now

Grist: Alaska just cant seem to shake the fever it has been running. This spring was easily the hottest the state has ever recorded and it contributed to a year-to-date temperature that is more than 10 degrees F (5.5 degrees C) above average, according to data released Wednesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Lower 48, meanwhile, had its warmest spring since the record-breaking scorcher of 2012. While May as a whole was only slightly above average -- thanks in part to...

Arizonas Getting Hotter, But State Leaders Oppose Solutions
2016-05-29 12:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Think Progress: On average, 2,000 Arizonans visit the emergency room because of heat-related illnesses every year. Unfortunately, things are likely to get worse because it`s only getting hotter. This April was just named the hottest on record, making it the 12th consecutive month to break a temperature record. Last year was named the hottest year on record, and at this pace 2016 is set to top it. This week, the Obama administration recognized Extreme Heat Week - something Arizonans have become well-acquainted with...

Africas most vulnerable face an even hotter future
2016-05-27 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Already home to some of the most environmentally vulnerable populations on the planet, Africa looks to increasingly feel the sting of climate change through more frequent, widespread and intense heat waves. Extreme heat that would be considered unusual today could become a yearly occurrence there by mid-century, one new study suggests, and the trend will emerge earlier there -- and in the rest of the tropics -- before it does in more temperate areas, another finds. The studies, both detailed...

Earth could become hotter than thought, study warns
2016-04-09 03:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Global warming could make the planet far hotter than currently projected because today's scientific models do not correctly account for the influence of clouds, researchers said this week. The study in the journal Science was led by researchers at Yale University and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. When climate scientists look ahead to how much the planet's surface temperature may warm up in response to a doubling of carbon dioxide -- a byproduct of fossil fuel burning -- they typically...

Ted Cruz's favorite temperature data just got a lot hotter
2016-03-03 12:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: In a new paper, Carl Mears and Frank Wentz at Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) have revised their data set estimating the temperature of the Earths atmosphere. At his recent congressional hearing, Ted Cruz presented the RSS data to incorrectly claim that theres been no global warming in over 18 years. As I noted at the time, RSS had the only data that could remotely support Senator Cruzs argument. Surface and ocean temperatures have warmed, ice has melted, sea levels have risen, species have been...
