Sydney Morning Herald: How will climate change affect where I live? That's the subject of intense research around the world, as scientists try to predict how increasing levels of greenhouse gases and the additional heat they trap from the sun will alter the climate of different regions. For most regions of Australia, the climate will become warmer and drier, according to research by the Bureau of Meteorology and the CSIRO. For most centres, that's akin to shifting northwards, or in Canberra's case, to a lower...

Sydney Morning Herald: Melbourne's climate can be expected to warm across all seasons, with less rainfall in winter and spring but more intense rain events, according to the latest projections by the CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology. The first update of the agencies' Natural Resource Management report since 2007 builds on improved modelling to project how the climate for the city and the country is likely to differ by 2030 and 2090. Since 2001, extreme heat records have exceeded cold records throughout Australia...

New York Times: Its way past time for California to come to grips with the possibility that its extraordinary water woes are the new normal and essentially the return of the old normal given the states climate history, in which drought has been the rule and the verdant 20th century the exception. In the weekly update to the U.S. Drought Monitor site yesterday, nearly 80 percent of the state was in extreme or exceptional drought conditions. It could well be that atmospheric circulation will shift and the drought,...

Washington Post: The water could start at any time. Every few hours, Anita Pointon refreshes the Web site that tells when its coming, because the work begins as soon as they know. Her husband, Chuck, 62, will set out to walk the farm with a moisture probe to see which fields are the driest. One run of water covers only about 18 acres of their 500, so they have to choose carefully. As rural America wilts, this is how those left working its powder-dry land get by: At the appointed hour, Chuck turns the head...

Gazette-Times: How about a 24-inch rise in the sea level at Newport by 2100? Or an increase in temperature of up to 14 degrees Fahrenheit? Those are some of the possible effects of climate change in the Pacific Northwest, as outlined by Phil Mote, who helped to write the Northwest portion of the third national climate assessment that was released May 6. Mote is an Oregon State University professor and the director of the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute for the Oregon University System. During a one-hour...
