LiveScience: More than half of Americans think global warming is affecting weather in the United States, according to a new nationally representative survey that measures the pulse of American sentiment on climate change. The newly released study shows that about two out of three Americans say weather in the country has worsened over the past several years, with only one in 10 saying the weather has been improving. Americans also have strong views about the link between global warming and extreme weather....

Extreme Weather in a Warming World, and the American Mind

New York Times: To see the relationship between extreme weather and public attitudes on human-driven climate change, check out the latest report from the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication Extreme Weather and Climate Change in the American Mind April 2013. To see where attitudes are in and out of sync with climate science, look back through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report titled Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation and relevant...
Dry winter, warming trend foretell US wildfire danger

Contra Costa Times: Two small but unseasonably early fires burning in northern California's wine country and another wind-whipped blaze farther south likely are a harbinger of a nasty summer fire season across the West. Officials with the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise said Wednesday in their first 2013 summer fire outlook that a dry winter and expected warming trend mean the potential for significant fire activity will be above normal on the West Coast, in the Southwest and portions of Idaho and Montana....

Science: When it comes to reducing carbon footprints, many Americans need look no further than their front yards. The soil beneath those perfectly manicured carpets of green grass-the pride of many suburban homeowners-is pumping surprising amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. That's according to a study published this month in the Soil Science Society of America Journal, which concludes that the amount of carbon rising from the soil of residential lawns is significantly greater than that from the soil of...

Plants moderate climate warming

ScienceDaily: As temperatures warm, plants release gases that help form clouds and cool the atmosphere, according to research from IIASA and the University of Helsinki. The new study, published in Nature Geoscience, identified a negative feedback loop in which higher temperatures lead to an increase in concentrations of natural aerosols that have a cooling effect on the atmosphere. "Plants, by reacting to changes in temperature, also moderate these changes," says IIASA and University of Helsinki researcher...
