Warming could heat up storms over eastern US

LiveScience: In May, residents of Tornado Alley braced themselves as the region's usual spring thunderstorms began popping up across the plains, bringing heavy rainfall that caused flash floods, high winds, hail and tornadoes. On May 20, the town of Moore, Okla., seemingly a perennial tornado target, was struck by a monster storm that was 1.3 miles (2 kilometers) wide at its peak, carving a 17-mile-long (27 km) path of destruction through the Oklahoma City suburb with winds that reached 210 mph (338 km/h). While...
Warming 'pause' gives thought for scientists, sceptics

Agence France-Presse: A slowdown in warming that has provided fuel for climate sceptics is one of the thorniest issues in a report to be issued by UN experts on Friday. Over the past 15 years, the world's average surface temperature rose far slower than many climate models have predicted. According to projections, global warming should go in lockstep with the ever-rising curve of heat-trapping carbon emissions. But in recent years, warming has lagged. So, where has the missing heat gone? For climate sceptics,...

Human role in warming 'more certain' - UN climate chief

BBC: Scientists are more certain than ever that greenhouse gases from human activities are heating the planet, the head of the UN's climate panel says. Rajendra Pachauri made the comments in an interview with BBC News. The panel is due to deliver its latest report on the state of the climate later this week in Stockholm, Sweden. Its last report was criticised after an error on glaciers unveiled other flaws, but Prof Pachauri said procedures had been reformed and strengthened. He also dismissed...
Experts 95 per cent certain 'humans are responsible for global warming'

Telegraph: The world's foremost authority on the greenhouse effect, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), will release its most comprehensive study to date on Friday in Stockholm. The volume is expected to paint a bleak picture of climate change in the coming decades and make long-term projections for the melting of Arctic sea ice and the warning of ocean acidification. "The scientific evidence of ... climate change has strengthened year after year, leaving few uncertainties apart from...

Global warming is likely to increase severe thunderstorm conditions in U.S., research finds
2013-09-23 23:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Severe thunderstorms, often exhibiting destructive rainfall, hail and tornadoes, are one of the primary causes of catastrophic losses in the United States. New climate models suggest a robust increase in these types of storms across the country. In 2012, 11 weather disasters in the United States crossed the billion-dollar threshold in economic losses. Seven of those events were related to severe thunderstorms. New climate analyses led by Stanford scientists indicate that global warming is likely...
