Times India: Scientists have found that the pattern of the Indian monsoon will change under global warming in the future. Computer simulations with a comprehensive set of 20 state-of-the-art climate models now consistently show that Indian monsoon daily variability might increase. Scientists of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research said, "ups-and-downs of Indian monsoon rainfall is likely to increase under warming." Scientists found that a 4% to 12% variability change of daily monsoon rainfall...

The 2012 contribution keeps us on pace for not one more degree Celsius of warming, or even two, as is the avowed goal of the international climate negotiations that saw another inconclusive round conclude this past week. We are on track for three degrees C of...
