The Richmond flatlands have always been gritty -- ramshackle homes, trash-strewn lots and violence that kept local police busy. It's what sent many white residents fleeing this city starting in the '60s, leaving behind a black population that by 1990 comprised nearly half of Richmond's residents.

More Americans will feel high heat as global warming, population shifts combine, study finds
2015-05-19 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: The combination of global warming and shifting population means that by mid-century, there will be a huge increase in the number of Americans sweating through days that are extremely hot, a new study says. People are migrating into areas especially in the Southeast where the heat is likely to increase more, said the authors of a study published Monday by the journal Nature Climate Change. The study highlighted the Houston-Dallas-San Antonio and Atlanta-Charlotte-Raleigh corridors as the places...
Exposure of US population to extreme heat could quadruple by mid-century
2015-05-18 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: U.S. residents' exposure to extreme heat could increase four- to six-fold by mid-century, due to both a warming climate and a population that's growing especially fast in the hottest regions of the country, according to new research. The study, by researchers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the City University of New York (CUNY), highlights the importance of considering societal changes when trying to determine future climate impacts. "Both population change and climate...

Study Finds Sun Belt Population Growth & Warming Climate Could Quadruple Exposure to Extreme Heat
2015-05-18 19:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: A valuable study published this week in Nature Climate Change projects that exposure to extreme heat in the United States is likely to rise enormously by mid century, driven equally by demographic shifts boosting Sun Belt populations and projected changes in heat waves in a warming climate. Seth Borenstein at the Associated Press has written a nice summary of the research, undertaken by a multi-disciplinary team at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., and the City University...
