Telegraph: Scientists have found that an atmospheric event behind the heavy flooding in Cornwall last year and in Cumbria in 2009 is to grow more intense and more frequent over the next century. The researchers found that narrow bands of air packed with water vapour known as atmospheric rivers are responsible for the worst flooding events in the winter months. These flows of moisture, which form in areas of low pressure and deliver sustained, heavy rainfall to the UK, are due to double in number, according...

Guardian: Heavy and prolonged rainfall will cause both more frequent and more severe flooding across the UK and the rest of north-west Europe as the atmosphere continues to warm, say British and American scientists The study of these "atmospheric rivers", published in Environmental Research Letters, pins the blame for the increasing flood risk firmly on man-made climate change and says the same problem will afflict other parts of the planet. The researchers describe how atmospheric rivers carry vast...
High Ozone levels during Heat Wave Make Air Pollution Worse
2013-07-22 10:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: High temperatures make air pollution worse. A new study has found that during heat waves, plants reduce their ozone absorption which lead to high levels of the gas remaining in the environment. Ozone is a gas that exists both at stratosphere and troposphere and can be beneficial or toxic depending on its location. When close to the ground, the gas is known to increase asthma risk in children and damage crops and tress. Ozone is the major ingredient in the urban smog. Like Us on Facebook Ozone...
