Climate Central: Thirty-year-old Gustavo Leal remembers the floodwaters reaching the doorstep of his family home in East Palo Alto. "It was bad enough that you couldn't get out of your driveway,' he said. Next time the floodwaters could swamp the entire house. That's the findings of a new study released today by Climate Central, a research and journalism organization. In February 1998, an El Nio storm brought high-speed winds combined with abnormally high sea levels that wreaked havoc in the Bay Area. El Nio...

Global Warming to Triple Frequency Drought, Floods Along Indian Ocean

Mashable: The frequency of extreme forms of a climate cycle that can cause devastating droughts and flood events from Indonesia to India to Kenya, may triple in the coming decades, according to a new study published Wednesday. The study, published in the journal Nature, ties manmade global warming to shifts in the behavior of a naturally-occurring climate cycle, known as the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). Like the Pacific Ocean, which gives rise to El Nio and La Nia events, the Indian Ocean has its own inherent...

Associated Press: The head of the Environmental Protection Agency promoted proposed clean-power-plant rules to Western governors Tuesday, framing the plan as a way to deal with destructive wildfires and floods that have ravaged the region in recent years. There are some states that are really feeling some of the brunt of the changing climate most dramatically with wildfires and floods and droughts and all of those challenges, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said Tuesday. She spoke after a two-hour meeting with...

Climate change to boost summer flash floods, says study
2014-06-01 19:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Global warming will lead to a significant increase in extreme summer downpours in the UK, a study suggests. The Met Office and Newcastle University researchers say there could be five times the number of "extreme rainfall events" per hour, under extreme warming projections. This would cause "really severe" flash flooding in many parts of the UK, according to the scientists. However, they caution that this result is based on only one computer model. Flash flooding in Britain has had devastating...
