Climate Central: The torrential rains that fell on the coastal Black Sea town of Krymsk, Russia, in July 2012 shouldnt have been possible. In the historical records, there is nothing like the 6.7 inches of rain that fell in the area in less than a day, causing catastrophic flash floods that led to the deaths of more than 170 people. One team of scientists says that it has an explanation for the unprecedented event: the clear rise in Black Sea water temperatures in recent decades fueled the explosive convection...

Agence France-Presse: Global warming-induced food and water shortages may cause mass migration, competition for resources and state failure, providing fertile ground for conflict and terrorism, analysts warned on Monday. In a report titled: Climate Change, A Risk Assessment, a global team of scientists, policy analysts and financial and military risk experts painted a grim picture of mankind's future on a much warmer planet. As rising temperatures and sea levels shrink areas of productive land, humans will have reasons...

Climate Central: Climate change is causing wind patterns to change over the Pacific Ocean, leading to longer commercial airline flight times and causing airplanes to burn more fuel and emit more greenhouse gases. Those are the conclusions of a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution study published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change, showing that the shifting jet stream over the Pacific Ocean is increasing flight times between Hawaii and the U.S. mainland, leading to more of the pollution that fuels climate...
