The Right Warms Up to Climate Change

Daily Beast: Four years ago UC-Berkeley physics professor Richard Muller began releasing the results of a sweeping two-year climate study. It confirmed what the overwhelming majority of other climate studies had also found: that the Earth was warming and humans were almost entirely responsible. But what set Mullers study apart was that prior to the release of his report, he had been known as a leading climate-change skeptic. For years he had criticized exaggerators like Penn States Michael Mann, who popularized...
Australia on El Nino watch after Pacific Ocean warms

Reuters: Australia's weather bureau said on Tuesday the chance of an El Nino developing this year had risen to about 50 percent after signs of renewed warming in tropical Pacific Ocean. The Bureau of Meteorology said six out of eight international models it surveyed indicated that sea surface temperatures in the central Pacific Ocean would exceed El Nino thresholds by mid-year. El Nino can prompt drought in Southeast Asia and Australia and heavy rains in South America, hitting production of food such as...

Drought worsens as state warms up

Gazettes: Dont look now, but the drought just got worse. A lot worse. Yes, it did rain Monday here in Long Beach. All of .003 inches. But, short of allowing folks to skip a day of watering, it didnt do anything for the water supply. More importantly, it didnt rain, or snow, in northern California. And it hasnt rained or snowed significantly for the entire month. The record will be official come Sunday, but it already is a given that 2015 will be the driest January ever in northern California. Thats...
Expect More Giant Snowstorms as Climate Warms

LiveScience: The storms that buried the Buffalo, New York, area in more than 7 feet (2.1 meters) of snow this week shattered records and shocked residents -- even in a region accustomed to dealing with heavy snow. The storms are certain to provide new fodder for climate-change skeptics who seem to embrace every monster blizzard as evidence that global warming doesn't exist. And yet, the science behind these catastrophic storms suggests that they do not occur despite global warming, but in fact because of it....

Lightning strikes 'more as world warms'
2014-11-13 20:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Global warming will significantly increase the frequency of lightning strikes, according to US research. The research, published in Science, was carried out with the help of data from a US network of lightning detectors. The teams says they have calculated how much each extra degree in temperature will raise the frequency of lightning. "For every two lightning strikes in 2000, there will be three lightning strikes in 2100," said David Romps, at the University of California, Berkeley. As well...
