Guardian: A new paper published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters by Griffin & Anchukaitis concludes that the 20122014 drought in California was its most intense in at least 1,200 years. The study used drought reconstructions from tree-ring cores, from the North American Drought Atlas (NADA) and from cores Griffin & Anchukaitis collected from blue oak trees in southern and central California. Blue oak tree ring widths are particularly sensitive to moisture changes. According to Griffin, The...

California drought, high temperatures create worst conditions in 1,200 years: study
2014-12-05 22:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A combination of record high temperatures and sparse rainfall during California's three-year drought have produced the worst conditions in 1,200 years, according to a study accepted for publication by the American Geophysical Union (AGU). The state has gone through numerous periods of dry weather, with as little or less rainfall as the past few years, but scientists looking at the cumulative effects of temperature, low precipitation and other factors said that it all adds up to the worst conditions...

Warmer Temperatures Felt Just 10 Years After Carbon Release
2014-12-03 22:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Just after scientists revealed the mathematical link between carbon emissions and warming, a new study has found that it takes just 10 years for Earth to feel the warming effects of these emissions after their released. Some have argued that the majority of global warming from carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions won't become a problem for several decades, but researchers at the Carnegie Institute for Science suggest otherwise. Their study confirms not only that it takes just one decade for the world...

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Global temperatures in October, as well as the entire year-to-date, were the planet's hottest on average since record-keeping began in 1880, the US government says. It was also the 38th consecutive October in which global average temperatures were higher than the average for the 20th century, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported. "The January-October combined global land and ocean average surface temperature was the warmest such period on record, surpassing the...
