Scientists try to understand heatwave

BBC: Scientists in India and Pakistan say higher temperatures were just one factor behind the recent heatwaves and other causes have yet to be established. They say low air pressure, high humidity and an unusually absent wind played key roles in making the heat unbearable but they do not know why such conditions prevailed at this time of the year. The temperature forecast for the heatwave peak in Karachi last week was 43C, according to meteorologists in Pakistan. The prediction was accurate but...

Hurricane Sandy and Typhoon Haiyan tied to global warming, scientists argue
2015-06-24 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: Humans are not just loading the dice in favor of extreme weather events, as many scientific studies have shown. They are also changing the characteristics and impacts of those events, be it in the form of an unprecedentedly strong and extremely deadly Typhoon Haiyan or the damaging Boulder, Colorado, floods of 2013. The way that scientists have been probing extreme events for human fingerprints is flawed, however, because it underestimates the influence that global warming is playing, argues a...

New Zealand scientists voice concern over gagging on climate change
2015-06-22 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Xinhua: New Zealand scientists said Monday that government funding policies have effectively prevented them from making any serious input into the government's climate change stance. The New Zealand Association of Scientists (NZAS) said it had concerns about serious flaws in the government's recent public consultation on climate change. "Climate change will have a profound influence on New Zealanders, and there are many complex issues that need to be dealt with," NZAS president Nicola Gaston said in a...

Climate review promised after dispute with top water scientists
2015-06-22 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: A major review of the risks of climate change in the Murray Darling Basin is likely within the next seven years. The proposed timeline has been revealed to RN Breakfast after a dispute between the Murray Darling Basin Authority and some of Australia's leading water scientists over the predicted drying of the basin in the coming decades. The scientists say that the $11 billion Murray Darling Basin Plan doesnt currently take into account the lower average rainfall patterns and more frequent and...
