Washington Post: Afterwards after the blistering heat and the bushfires they would call it the Angry Summer. But whatever the description, the Australian summer of 2012-2013 provided a terrifying preview of a world under climate change. According to the countrys Bureau of Meteorology, a devastating heat wave in late 2012-early 2013 saw records set in every State and Territory the nationally averaged daily temperature rose to levels never previously observed, and did this for an extended period. What...

2014 Breaks Heat Record, Challenging Global Warming Skeptics
2015-01-17 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Last year was the hottest on earth since record-keeping began in 1880, scientists reported on Friday, underscoring warnings about the risks of runaway greenhouse gas emissions and undermining claims by climate change contrarians that global warming had somehow stopped. Extreme heat blanketed Alaska and much of the western United States last year. Records were set across large areas of every inhabited continent. And the ocean surface was unusually warm virtually everywhere except near Antarctica,...

Europe's Record Heat Tied Directly to Climate Change

Weather Channel: As 2014 comes to a close, Europe is virtually certain to lock in its hottest year in more than 500 years, and according to research by three independent teams of climate scientists, the record can be closely attributed to climate change. The three groups, from the UK, the Netherlands and Australia, each using a different method, found that Europe should best its previous heat record set in 2007, and that setting that record has been made at least 35 to 80 times more likely by the manmade rise...

Australia Blasted by Record Heat Again
2014-10-27 23:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Strange early-season temperatures again dogged sweaty Australians over the weekend, with Saturday's continent-wide average maximum topping 97°F -- a record for October. Spring heat waves that have been baking the continent in recent weeks are "consistent' with the modeled effects of global warming in Australia, said Tom Knutson, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration climate modeler. But global warming alone couldn't explain the unseasonably hot weather. It's likely that climate...

In California, record heat adding to extreme drought
2014-08-10 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Desert Sun: Reservoirs have been shrinking, aquifers have been declining, and an estimated 5 percent of the state's irrigated farmland, from the Central Valley to Southern California, has been left dry and withering. In the Coachella Valley, water agencies are responding to the state's mandatory water restrictions with new rules such as limiting lawn-watering times and outlawing front-yard car washes with hoses. The drought's impact is apparent on the outskirts of Palm Springs, where a network of 19 groundwater...
