Climate Change to Blame for Deaths in 2003 Heat Wave, New Study Says

InsideClimate: The first attempt by scientists to assess the role of climate change in the deadly European heat waves of 2003 has attributed about half of the 1,050 deaths in Paris and London that summer to the effects of global warming. Tens of thousands of people, many of them elderly, died in France and other European nations in one of the most notable extreme weather events since the turn of the century. The implication of the study, published Thursday in the journal Environmental Research Letters, is that...

Heat Wave Lifts June to Record Hot Temp for U.S
2016-07-07 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Thanks in part to the epic heat wave that sent temperatures skyrocketing in the Southwest, last month was the hottest June on record for the contiguous U.S., the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday. June was 3.3°F above the 20th century average of 68.5°F, beating the previous record set in 1933 by 0.2°F, according to NOAA data. That bump of heat comes amid what is the hottest year to date by a good margin for the world as a whole. Outside of the contiguous U.S.,...

Phys.Org: Frogs that can take the heat expected to fare better in a changing world Amphibians that tolerate higher temperatures are likely to fare better in a world affected by climate change, disease and habitat loss, according to two recent studies from the University of California, Davis. Frogs are disappearing globally, and the studies examine why some survive while others perish. The studies reveal that thermal tolerance-the ability to withstand higher temperatures-may be a key trait in predicting...

Global News: But three interconnected threats may make the river`s flow far smaller in the future than it is today: Drought The Athabasca River`s flow has been measured since the early 1950s and water allocation decisions are based on that data, says University of Regina geography professor David Sauchyn. But recent research shows that recent decades have been a wet period. The region`s deeper history shows long, severe droughts. Sauchyn studied rings on trees in the Athabasca`s headwaters, in Jasper...
