Climate Change in Minnesota: More heat, more big storms
2015-02-02 13:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Minnesota Public Radio: Three months later, the dazzling sunlight was nowhere to be found when rain sheets pummeled the Duluth area. Muddy torrents of chocolate, fuming floodwaters tore through town, leaving shock and devastation. Both extremes happened in a Minnesota our descendants never knew. It's warmer, especially in the winter, and rising global temperatures have stacked the deck in favor of heavier rains. Even in a land used to being wowed by the weather, the month-to-month, year-to-year roller coaster ride is...

Abrupt Climate Change is Here
2015-02-02 11:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CounterPunch: Is abrupt climate change already here? There are some serious scientists who believe it is already here. If their analysis is correct, the world could turn nearly uninhabitable within current lifetimes. In that regard, the American public is overly, dangerously casual about the prospects/risks of abrupt climate change. This is found in numerous studies and polls, e.g. according to a Pew Research Global Attitudes Project, in an international survey of 39 countries, Americans were among the least...

An overwhelming majority of the American public, including half of Republicans, support government action to curb global warming, according to a poll conducted by The New York Times, Stanford University and the nonpartisan environmental research group Resources for the Future. In a finding that could have implications for the 2016 presidential campaign, the poll also found that two-thirds...

How climate change affects different regions of the country differently
2015-02-01 22:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Salon: The U.S. is no stranger to differences among its sometimes bickering states, so perhaps its no surprise that even global warming finds itself with some regional rivalries. A Climate Central analysis of regional and seasonal temperature differences in the contiguous U.S. since 1970 reveals a country divided along temperature lines, just as it is in so many other ways. Sure, that includes politics. And whether a certain bubbly drink should be called soda, pop or Coke (even though we all know the...
