Study: Causes of California drought natural, not man-made
2014-12-09 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
USA Today: Natural weather patterns, not man-made global warming, are causing the historic drought parching California, says a study out Monday from federal scientists. "It's important to note that California's drought, while extreme, is not an uncommon occurrence for the state," said Richard Seager, the report's lead author and professor with Columbia University's Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory. The report was sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The report did not appear...

California drought: Natural patterns, not human-caused climate change, federal study finds
2014-12-09 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mercury News: Natural patterns, not human-caused climate change, produced one of California's worst droughts, researchers have concluded. An atmospheric ridge over the North Pacific, which limited rain and snowfall over the past three years, was "due to natural variations of ocean systems, with sea surface temperatures largely responsible," said Richard Seager, lead author of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-sponsored study, in a Monday news conference. The conditions that led to the drought,...

California Drought Is Said to Have Natural Cause
2014-12-09 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Scientists who have analyzed Californias extreme drought have concluded that it is a result of natural climate variability over the past three years and that climate change caused by humans has played little role. The analysis, in a report prepared for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and released Monday, found that the main driver behind the drought was patterns of water temperatures in the Pacific Ocean. They increased the likelihood that ridges of high-pressure air would form...
