Huffington Post: James Hansen has a dire warning for the Middle East and tropical areas: Summer is coming. By the end of the century, the so-called "father of global warming" predicts that rising temperatures caused by human-induced climate change will render the countries that already experience hot summers unlivable during those months. "The tropics and the Middle East in summer are in danger of becoming practically uninhabitable by the end of the century if business-as-usual fossil fuel emissions continue,...

Yale Environment 360: For the past three decades, Europe has been experiencing its warmest summers since the days of the Roman Empire, according to a study published in the Environmental Research Letters Journal. The study, compiled by 40 academics, concluded that average summer temperatures have been 1.3 degrees Celsius hotter than they were 2,000 years ago. Heat waves also occur more often and last longer. The temperature figures were calculated by analyzing the tree ring analysis of three pine species found in Austria,...

Europe's summers 'warmest in 2,000 years'
2016-01-29 09:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: The past 30 years in Europe have likely been the warmest in more than two millennia, according to new research. The study used tree ring records and historical documents to reconstruct yearly temperatures going back 2,100 years. Scientists say that past natural variability in temperatures was greater than previously thought. As a result, climate models may be underestimating the frequency and severity of heat waves in the future. According to the study, Europe has seen an increase in summer warming...

Modern European summers are warmest since Roman times, study finds
2016-01-29 06:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Europe has almost certainly experienced warmer summers in the last three decades than at any other time since the Roman empire, according to a study published on Friday in the Environmental Research Letters journal. Since 1986, mean summer temperatures have been about 1.3C hotter than they were two millennia ago, while heatwaves have been longer, more frequent and more persistent, the study says. The paper was compiled by 40 prominent academics, using tree-ring analysis, climate modelling and...
