Discovery: Tropical cyclones of the future may have the Hawaiian islands in their cross hairs, according to a new study of how climate change will alter eastern Pacific Ocean storms near the end of the 21st century. In the middle of Earth's largest ocean and already in a warm clime, Hawaii seems like the last place to to worry about global warming. But as the air warms, the oceans are absorbing even more heat and that plays out in climate models that Hiroyuki Murakami, of the University of Hawaii, and his...

Human ingenuity vs. climate change: coping with life on the edge
2013-05-05 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Westerly Sun: Climate change is a monster of an issue, as complex as it is dangerous. As they assess and predict the threats posed by severe storms and sea level rise, scientists are also trying to identify and understand the ways that the warming of the planet will affect the atmosphere. Towns are doing what they can to mitigate and prevent storm damage, but over and over, residents are faced with storms that can destroy their homes and even threaten their lives. This is new normal, said David Prescott,...
