Scientists find climate changes fingerprints in French floods

2016-06-12 23:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Associated Press: An international team of scientists has found that man-made climate change nearly doubled the likelihood of last month's devastating French flooding. In a quick but not peer-reviewed analysis, the World Weather Attribution team of climate scientists used past rainfall data and computer simulations to look for global warming's fingerprints in the downpours in France and Germany. A senior climate researcher at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, Geert Jan van Oldenborgh, says the team's...

Panel: Finding climate fingerprints in wild weather is valid

2016-03-11 16:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Associated Press: Climate science has progressed so much that experts can accurately detect global warming's fingerprints on certain extreme weather events, such as a heat wave, according to a high-level scientific advisory panel. For years scientists have given almost a rote response to the question of whether an instance of weird weather was from global warming, insisting that they can't attribute any single event to climate change. But "the science has advanced to the point that this is no longer true as an...

Malvertisers Use Digital Fingerprints to Avoid Detection

2016-03-04 19:14:25| TechNewsWorld

In the world of computer security, fingerprints are found in more places than where the tips of hands touch. That's because the term is applied to any data set that can be used to make a unique identification. Antifraud programs online retailers use can identify customers by the structure of the files on their computers. In fact, the technique works so well, malicious actors use it.

The human fingerprints on coastal floods

2016-02-23 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Climate Central: There are human fingerprints on thousands of U.S. coastal floods -- and countless more the world over. We have known for a long time that sea level is rising. The link to global warming has been both intuitive and evident. Temperatures rise, and satellites watch glaciers and ice sheets shrink; networks of robotic buoys sample ocean waters as they heat and expand. We have also known that coastal floods are increasing. The link to sea level rise is clear. A higher starting level means that the...

Water 'Fingerprints' Used To Time How Fast Rain And Snowmelt Flow Into Rivers

2016-01-25 03:41:25| pollutiononline Home Page

About one-third of the water flowing in global rivers is "young water" made up of rain and snowmelt that flowed into the river in less than three months
