Yale Environment 360: Milder winters can't be blamed for the full extent of recent mountain pine beetle outbreaks in the western United States, according to a new study by Dartmouth and U.S. Forest Service researchers. Winters have been warming across the western U.S. states for decades, as overall the coldest winter night has warmed by 4 degrees C since 1960.

Reuters: An increase in strong thunderstorms could be responsible for greater rainfall in the tropics as a result of climate change, new research says. The joint research, which was conducted by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science (ARCCSS) and NASA, research found that even though other types of rainfall have decreased in frequency and the total number of thunderstorms has remained the same, the increase in big storms has elevated total rainfall.

The researchers analysed data from nearly two decades of satellite...
