Is global warming causing extreme weather via jet stream waves?

Guardian: As I sit here in a northern part of the United States (Minnesota), a rare summer arctic blast barrels down from Canada on what otherwise is one of the warmest days of the year. Global warming? I could use some global warming today, people are saying. Not only is this a teachable moment, but it coincides with a major new study on climate connections. First, lets see the current jet stream. It is wildly undulating, first swinging up into northern Canada before curving back and plunging into the...

How species will, or wont, manage in a warming world

Science News: High in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, mustard plants slumber through the winter in snow-covered meadows. When spring finally reveals these hardy perennials, the plants reach for the sky, unveiling tiny pink or white flowers. This annual rebirth is timed to the snowmelt, and as warmer temperatures have moved melting earlier and earlier in the year, this particular mustard, known as Drummonds rock cress (Boechera stricta), has followed. The herbs trumpetlike flowers now bloom about 13 days...

EPA proposes to prohibit some uses of HFCs with high global warming potential

Bloomberg: The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to limit the use of various hydrofluorocarbons that are currently listed as acceptable alternatives to ozone-depleting substances, an action taken under President Barack Obama's climate action plan. The agency said the proposed rule, signed by EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy July 9 and released the next day, would prohibit certain uses of chemicals that have high global warming potential. The proposed rule would change the status of several HFCs...

Climate change targets may not be enough prevent 2C global warming

Blue and Green: Even if governments can agree on a global pact to cut carbon emissions in a crucial UN summit next year, it may already be too late to prevent the most devastating impacts of climate change, a new study has claimed. Analysts suggest the mitigation strategies and targets that negotiators already have in mind, ahead of the 2015 climate talks in Paris, are insufficient to limit global temperature rises to below 2C from pre-industrial times. This is the threshold suggested by scientists and agreed...

The Real Deal with Global Warming And Climate Change
2014-07-09 14:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CNN: Decades since the issue of global warming reared its ugly head; a lot of people still argue the validity of scientific findings put forth by researchers and professionals around the world. Arguments, such as the climate is a natural process, to the issue being entirely a hoax is still ravaging the minds of the world's population. However, to those experiencing the extreme effects of global warming such as erratic weather, drastic and sudden changes in temperature, and devastating natural calamities,...
