Russia warms faster than rest of planet and sees disease, drought, and forest fires as a result

Quartz: When Vladimir Putin declined to support the Kyoto Protocol, a treaty to limit carbon emissions, he famously quipped that higher temperatures might actually benefit Russia since its people would have to spend less on fur coats. Well, he`s getting his wish. Changes in wind and ocean currents caused by global warming shift heat around unevenly, causing some areas to heat up dramatically even as other regions cool. Russia, it turns out, is in the unusually hot category. Between 1976 and 2012, average...
Drought Causes Western US to Rise

Environmental News Network: Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego discovered that the growing, broad-scale loss of water is causing the entire western U.S. to rise up while investigating ground-positioning data from GPS stations. Scripps researchers Adrian Borsa, Duncan Agnew, and Dan Cayan found that the water shortage is causing an "uplift" effect up to 15 millimeters (more than half an inch) in California's mountains and on average four millimeters (0.15 of an inch) across the west. From the...

EcoWatch: We probably can`t blame the earthquake that hit California`s Napa Valley this weekend on climate change. But it`s one more thing that the beleaguered residents of the so-called "Golden State" have to deal with. And while we can`t do much to address the fact that the state sits on geographical fault lines, other issues have a human element. The magnitude 6.0 earthquake, which occurred early Sunday morning, is the largest to hit the state since 1989′s Loma Prieta quake. It injured several...

Gloomy prediction on California drought
2014-08-23 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sun: Bill Patzert, long referred to by his colleagues in the science community as the Prophet of California Climate, had some predictions Friday on Californias severe drought, and they were anything but good. El Nino-like weather patterns associated with fluctuating ocean temperatures have been thrown off balance, likely due to climate change. As a result, there has been less rain and warmer weather, and it will not end any time soon, Patzert said. When the Pacific speaks, everybody better listen,...
