Shouldn't climate scientists try harder at communicating their findings?
2013-07-22 13:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Public interest in climate change has exploded over the last decade. The increased exposure of public audiences to the scientific discourse, however, is not always straightforward. By the time scientific understanding has migrated to the public domain it has often been distilled multiple times, by multiple parties. This can lead to misinterpretation of the original message. Given this, shouldn't climate scientists try harder at communicating their findings direct to the public? This isn't to...

Scientists say jet stream causing weather whiplash as it wobbles

Associated Press: The jet stream - the river of air high above Earth that generally dictates the weather - usually rushes rapidly from west to east in a mostly straight direction. But lately it seems to be wobbling and weaving like a drunken driver, wreaking havoc as it goes. The more the jet stream undulates north and south, the more changeable and extreme the weather. The most recent example occurred in mid-June when some towns in Alaska hit record highs. McGrath, Alaska, recorded an all-time high of 94...

Scientists take a second look at concerns and potential for geoengineering
2013-07-19 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
E&E: Scientists are taking a hard look at tweaking the planet's thermostat with geoengineering methods, which were once a taboo avenue for research, as a way to stave off some of the worst-case scenarios for the warming Earth. Earlier this week, the National Research Council convened a committee to review approaches that could cool the world, with the goal of creating a scientific foundation that could help resolve political, ethical and legal issues surrounding these controversial techniques. Geoengineering...
