Even In a Warming World, It Will Still Snow Somewhere

New York Times: Misconception: Climate change is not real because there is snow in my yard. Actually: Anyone who utters an argument like this is mixing up climate and weather. When Senator James Inhofe famously threw a snowball across the Senate floor in an attempt to undermine the validity of climate science, people who practice that science for a living pretty much rolled their eyes. Yet the Republican senator from Oklahoma, chairman of the environment committee in the Senate, is hardly alone is mixing up weather...
Ocean warming threatens stability of Antarctic ice shelves

Discover: The Getz Ice Shelf extends several miles into the ocean along the western Antarctic coast. The vertical face of the ice shelf is almost 200 feet high and is estimated to extend another 1,000 feet below the ocean surface. This photo was taken from a NASA DC-8 by Ted Scambos, Lead Scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center. Note: Thanks to a spring-break getaway, I`m just now catching up to this new research showing that warming ocean waters are threatening the stability of giant, floating...

Global Warming Is Pushing Wine Harvests Earlier But Not Necessarily For The Better
2016-03-28 20:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Conversation: Wine grapes are one of the most valuable horticultural crops in the world, a globally important industry with commercial vineyards on six continents and all 50 U.S. states. Like many crops, these vineyards, and their grapes, are extremely sensitive to temperature and rainfall during the growing season. Climate and weather can affect the timing of harvest, the amount of fruit produced and even the ultimate quality of the wine. And with warming from human greenhouse gas emissions already manifesting...
Shock at global warming speed: 'widespread future extinctions' predicted

Advertiser and Times: Climate change is happening TEN TIMES quicker than at any point since the age of the dinosaurs, warns new research. And the unprecedented rate of change is likely to trigger widespread future extinctions. A notorious warming period 55 million years known as the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) - when temperatures rose by at least 5C - is considered the most similar to current conditions. It led to animal dwarfism with horses, deer and other mammals shrinking dramatically in size....

Scientists fly glacial ice to south pole to unlock secrets of global warming

Guardian: In a few weeks, researchers will begin work on a remarkable scientific project. They will drill deep into the Col du Dôme glacier on Mont Blanc and remove a 130 metre core of ice. Then they will fly it, in sections, by helicopter to a laboratory in Grenoble before shipping it to Antarctica. There the ice core will be placed in a specially constructed vault at the French-Italian Concordia research base, 1,000 miles from the south pole. The Col du Dôme ice will become the first of several dozen...
