The Guardian view on the UK floods: they will be back
2015-12-27 19:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The floods return, bringing with them the increasingly familiar pictures of distress: the debris of scoured-out houses, and the empty phrases of a hollow politician. Unprecedented; whatever is needed: Mr Cameron seems to have forgotten that he promised us whatever it takes two years ago. Clearly, it took rather more than he was then prepared to give. This time, the army has been sent in to reinforce his rhetoric. At least the floodwater is an enemy that will certainly have retreated in a week...
UK floods and extreme global weather linked to El Nio and climate change
2015-12-27 18:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: From some of the worst floods ever known in Britain, to record-breaking temperatures over the Christmas holiday in the US and and forest fires in Australia, the link between the tumultuous weather events experienced around the world in the last few weeks is likely to be down to the natural phenomenon known as El Nio making the effects of man-made climate change worse, say atmospheric scientists.

This kind of exceptional heat provided an appropriate setting for the Paris climate summit, where 196 nations agreed to curb greenhouse gas emissions to avoid the sort of dangerous climate change that contributes to floods, drought and damaging sea level rises. But the past year has also seen a number of severe natural disasters, climate change-fueled or...
United Kingdom: Floods of biblical proportions leave cities, towns and villages under water
2015-12-26 21:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: It was the day the floodwaters inexorably advanced across the Pennines, leaving much of the north of England sodden and beleaguered. From Greater Manchester in the north-west to parts of North Yorkshire some 50 miles to the east, Boxing Day 2015 will be remembered as the day the rains came. In Todmorden, in West Yorkshires Calder Valley, Rebecca Marshall was last night facing the grim prospect of having to abandon her home as the floodwaters slowly rose around her house. The incessant rains had...
