NBC: While a parched California copes with a long-term drought, water threatens to cost the state billions in a much different way if climate change continues unchecked, according to a new study. By 2050, rising sea levels could engulf between $8 and $10 billion in coastal property, with up to $10 billion more susceptible to tidal flooding, according to the study by climate change research group Risky Business. Gov. Brown Orders Unprecedented Water Reductions Climate change will likely deepen the drought,...

California facing extreme heat waves and rising seas
2015-04-03 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: A day after California imposed mandatory water restrictions to battle a four-year drought, a new study on global warming suggests the worst is yet to come. The average number of days with temperatures higher than 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius) may double or even triple by the end of the century, threatening one of the worlds richest agricultural regions. At the same time, $19 billion in coastal property will likely disappear as sea levels rise, the study found. The report is the...

Human-Related Climate Change Led to Extreme Heat, Scientists Say
2014-09-29 20:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: The savage heat waves that struck Australia in 2013 were almost certainly a direct consequence of the human release of greenhouse gases, researchers said Monday. It is perhaps the most definitive statement climate scientists have made that ties a specific weather event to global warming. Five groups of researchers, using distinct methods, analyzed the heat that baked Australia for much of last year and continued into 2014, shutting down the Australian Open tennis tournament at one point in January....
How Extreme Heat Could Lead To More Oil Rail Car Derailments

ThinkProgress: Fossil fuel transportation by rail, already beleaguered by a series of disasters, could actually see things get worse thanks to the very climate change it`s helping to drive: as temperatures increase, rail tracks are more likely to warp, leading to more derailments. While the storms and floods and such that come with climate change threaten the United States` infrastructure in a variety of ways, bouts of extreme heat in particular can cause the metal rails in train tracks to bend and buckle, according...
