Rakyat Post: The disastrous floods which hit some states last year are expected to recur more frequently and with greater intensity as a result of global warming and the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) phenomenon, says climatologist and oceanographer Professor Dr Fredolin T. Tangang. He said climate change due to global warming was causing a worsening of the phenomenon. The media had previously reported that the MJO phenomenon was a factor causing heavy rains in Malaysia. MJO is an element in the tropical...

Tropical deforestation leads rise in temperature, erratic rainfall affecting crops far away
2014-12-19 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Business Times: Clearing of trees in tropical rainforests not only increases carbon dioxide in the air but also affects rainfall patterns and raises temperatures across the globe, says a study showing that forests have many impacts on climate. This in turn could adversely affect agricultural productivity. A complete tropical deforestation could lead to a rise in global temperature of 0.7 degrees Celsius (on top of the impact from greenhouse gases). The study from the University of Virginia in collaboration with...
