Cherry Hill Courier Post: With the planet heating up, many scientists seem fairly certain some weather elements like hurricanes and droughts will worsen. But as the traditional tornado season nears, scientists have been pondering a simple question: Will there be more or fewer twisters as global warming increases? There is no easy answer. Lately, tornado activity in America has been Jekyll-and-Hyde weird, and scientists are unsure whether climate change has played a role in recent erratic patterns. In 2011, the United...

Associated Press: Global warming may have contributed to low rain levels in Somalia in 2011 where tens of thousands died in a famine, research by British climate scientists suggests. Scientists with Britain's weather service studied weather patterns in East Africa in 2010 and 2011 and found that yearly precipitation known as the short rains failed in late 2010 because of the natural effects of the weather pattern La Nina. But the lack of the long rains in early 2011 was an effect of "the systematic warming due...

TakePart: Brian Schatz, appointed in December 2012 to the United States Senate following the death of Daniel Inouye, has staked out an early position as an ardent leader on climate. He recently joined Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Representatives Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) in introducing a climate bill that would put a price on carbon pollution. Climate change is urgent, solvable, human-caused, and real, Schatz tells TakePart, with no equivocation, no hesitation in his voice....

Human climate change big factor in Somali famine

Associated Press: A new study has found that human-induced climate change contributed to low rain levels in East Africa in 2011, making global warming one of the causes of Somalia's famine and tens of thousands of deaths. Climate scientists with Britain's national weather service studied weather patterns in Somalia in 2010 and 2011 and found that yearly precipitation known as the short rains failed in late 2010 because of the natural effects of La Nina. But Peter Scott, one of the study's authors, said the lack...
