Business times: Northern New Zealand will experience more droughts due to a change in Southern Ocean winds. A new study by the Australian National University revealed stronger westerly winds from the ocean. The force is believed to be stronger than any time in the last 1000 years. The winds are moving southwards and were observed to be concentrating around Antarctica. Lead researcher Dr Nerilie Abram said the strong westerly winds were trapping the cool air in Antarctica which meant less rain for New Zealand...

National Public Radio: A new federal report bluntly warns that every region of the United States is already observing climate change-related affects to the environment and economy. In Oklahoma and other Great Plains states, climate change from carbon emissions is changing crop growth cycles, increasing energy and water demand, altering rainfall patterns and leading to more frequent extreme weather and climate events, the report concludes. The magnitude of those changes is expected to increase throughout Oklahoma`s region,...

Telegraph: A change in the North Atlantic current could lead to the end of soggy British summers, researchers have claimed. Recent studies of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a major warm current in the North Atlantic Ocean, have shown that it slowed down by up to 15 per cent in the past decade. Now experts suggest that the slowing of the current, which is linked to the Gulf Stream, could be part of a larger decline which began in the 1990s and looks set to continue. The AMOC...

New York Times: Drought conditions in California and elsewhere in the Far West intensified last year, government scientists said Wednesday, adding to concerns about water supplies in the region. Although on the whole 2013 was a wetter than average year for the contiguous 48 states, the scientists said, that statistic masked sharp regional differences. Many states east of the Rockies had much higher than average precipitation, helping to alleviate drought in the central United States and the Southeast. But California...

Australia: Drier weather will only fuel larger, more frequent fire

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: With New South Wales facing its worst bushfires in nearly half a century, experts say more needs to be done to protect communities at risk. Christine Milne has told RN Breakfast that that means taking action on climate change, a response that Environment Minister Greg Hunt called "opportunistic'. The bushfire emergency in New South Wales is expected to escalate in coming days as temperatures soar, with Wednesday's forecast shaping up as potentially catastrophic. Federal Environment Minister...
