Automakers may be taking a chance, moving back into the large van-like vehicles for families, but they are loading them with technology and crossing their fingers. Find out why car makers are bringing out 7-passenger transportation. [More]
City heat might warm up distant rural areas, too, study says

Associated Press: eat rising up from cities such as New York, Paris and Tokyo might be remotely warming up winters far away in some rural parts of Alaska, Canada and Siberia, a surprising study theorizes. In an unusual twist, that same urban heat from buildings and cars might be slightly cooling the autumns in much of the western United States, Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean, according to the study published Sunday in the scientific journal Nature Climate Change. Meteorologists long have known that cities...
Wasted heat from large cities affects temperatures in distant regions
2013-01-27 23:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: The waste heat generated by large cities can affect temperatures in areas hundreds of miles away by changing wind patterns in the upper atmosphere, a study has found. Scientists have estimated that the heat released into the atmosphere from buildings, cars and factories could play a significant role in the warming and the cooling of locations in other countries. Using computer models of how heat is transported around the globe, the study published in the journal Nature Climate Change says that...

Waste Heat From Cities May Be Altering Weather Patterns
2013-01-27 22:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The carbon dioxide that belches from tailpipes and smokestacks is a proven greenhouse gas that has been driving global temperatures more or less steadily upward over the past century. But the heat that leaks directly into the environment from hot exhaust pipes, boilers and chimneys has also contributed to temperature increases in some places, according to a study published Sunday in Nature Climate Change, especially in winter-- not directly, but rather because the waste heat may be altering the flow...

Heat from North American cities causing warmer winters, study finds
2013-01-27 20:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Those who wonder why large parts of North America seem to be skipping winter have a new answer in addition to climate change: big city life. A study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, found that the heat thrown off by major metropolitan areas on America's east coast caused winter warming across large areas of North America, thousands of miles away from those cities. Winter warming was detected as far away as the Canadian prairies. In some remote areas, temperature rose by as much...
