Global Warming Speed Bump? The Answer May Be Blowing in the Wind!

Huffington Post: An interesting new paper by Matthew England and colleagues just published in the journal Nature Climate Change tosses another hat in the ring when it comes to the so-called "hiatus" or "pause" (I prefer "speed bump") in global warming. As I have discussed previously, the fact that global surface temperatures have not increased as much over the past decade as many climate models predict they should have, doesn't necessarily contradict the model predictions at all. In reality, the speed bump may simply...
United Kingdom: Evidence 'links warming to storms'

BBC: Climate change is likely to be a factor in the extreme weather that has hit much of the UK in recent months, the Met Office's chief scientist has said. Dame Julia Slingo said the variable UK climate meant there was "no definitive answer" to what caused the storms. "But all the evidence suggests there is a link to climate change," she added. "There is no evidence to counter the basic premise that a warmer world will lead to more intense daily and hourly rain events." More than 130 severe...

Indo Asian News Service: Ancient farmers were responsible for increasing the Earth's temperature by about 0.9 degree Celsius over a period of 8,000 years - almost as much as global warming has caused in the past 150 years. The finding, by a new study, suggests that early agriculture was as powerful as the whole industrial revolution, says Feng He, lead author and a climate scientist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The study, however, says that the "net warming" caused by early humans was only 0.73 degrees Celsius,...

Sun Sentinel: Broward County will try to cut its electricity use and turn to renewable energy sources, as it continues to plan for global warming. County commissioners voted 8-1 Tuesday to set energy goals, saying the White House has made it clear that planning for climate change is a priority. "Federal dollars are soon going to be tied to demonstrating how well you're moving these goals forward,'' Commissioner Kristin Jacobs said. "If you aren't demonstrating a commitment to renewable enrgy and trying to...
