Forbes: In the last six months, we have witnessed Superstorm Sandy flooding New York City, New Jersey and surrounding areas, a massive Midwest drought impacting 40% of the US corn crop, and unprecedented air pollution from burning fossil fuels that forced Chinese authorities to tell Beijing residents to stay in their homes.

Think Progress: Climate change will bring more and more extreme precipitation events this century. A new study from NOAA`s National Climatic Data Center confirms what climate scientists have long been saying about climate change`s effect on the hydrological cycle. If you are not familiar with this term, you are certainly familiar with what it describes.

How climate change may help a penguin colony
2013-04-05 19:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mother Nature Network: Antarctic warming has been a boon for one large colony of Adélie penguins, a finding that's surprising scientists. A recent study found that over the last 60 years, a colony of the birds on Beaufort Island in the Ross Sea, south of New Zealand, increased by 84 percent, from 35,000 breeding pairs to 64,000 breeding pairs. This increase has come as glaciers have retreated from the island, leaving more bare, snow-free ground, where the penguins make their nests, according to the study, published this...
