Storms like U.S. blizzard may get stronger but less frequent: Study

Reuters: Large storms like the blizzard that battered New England this week may become more severe but less frequent as the Earth's climate changes, scientists said on Thursday. The Canadian-led study noted that warmer air can hold more moisture, meaning more fuel for rain, hail or snow, and found knock-on effects on how the atmosphere generates storms. "In a future climate, the global atmospheric circulation might comprise highly energetic storms," they wrote in the journal Science. At the same...

World's cities experiencing more heatwaves, study shows
2015-01-30 01:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: World cities are experiencing more heatwaves and fewer cold spells, according to a study of extreme temperatures in hundreds of urban areas over the past 40 years. It found that many cities are seeing fewer extremely windy days than in the 1970s and have more extremely hot individual days and nights. The climate researchers from US and Indian universities identified 620 of the worlds urban areas with a population over 250,000 and then chose 217 which were situated close to an international weather...

Climate models don't over-predict warming, study shows
2015-01-29 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: If you listen to climate change skeptics, Earth`s surface hasn`t warmed appreciably in the last 15 years, and any "record" set last year is just the result of the planet doing what the planet naturally does. It turns out they`re right, but for the wrong reasons, according to a study published online Wednesday in the journal Nature. There is no inherent bias in climate models that make them over-estimate the effects of human activity, according to the study. "Cherry picking" the most recent...

Methane leaks from gas pipelines far exceed official estimates, Harvard study finds
2015-01-29 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: Methane is leaking from natural gas infrastructure in Boston and the surrounding region at rates two to three times higher than government estimates, scientists at Harvard University and other institutions found. Published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences last week, the researchers' paper is the first peer-reviewed study that quantifies emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, from natural gas installations in urban areas--including pipelines, storage terminals...
