Tornadoes and Global Warming: Is There a Connection?

National Geographic: It sounds intuitive: Of course global warming should lead to more-and more powerful-tornadoes. We're adding energy to the atmosphere by trapping heat with greenhouse gases, and tornadoes are the very picture of terrifying atmospheric energy. Linking any particular weather event to climate change is always tricky, because weather is inherently random. But weather patterns can speak to a warming planet. Scientists can detect that extreme rain events, for instance, are already happening more often...

New reports suggests global warming could be slower than first thought
2013-05-20 07:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: A new report says the planet may be warming slower in the short-term than had been previously projected. The study published in the journal Nature Geoscience reveals that while the world has experienced its hottest decade since records began, the rate of average warming has been lower over the past decade. By using modelling based on data from the past 10 years, the report says that after significant rises in the 1980s and 1990s, the most extreme projections are now looking less likely than...

Extreme global warming seen further away than previously thought

Reuters: Extreme global warming is less likely in coming decades after a slowdown in the pace of temperature rises so far this century, an international team of scientists said on Sunday. Warming is still on track, however, to breach a goal set by governments around the world of limiting the increase in temperatures to below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times, unless tough action is taken to limit rising greenhouse gas emissions. "The most extreme rates of warming simulated by...

Scientists agree overwhelmingly on global warming. Why doesnt the public know that?

New York Times: Most climate scientists agree that global warming is caused by human activity, according to a new survey of published papers on climate science. "Our findings prove that there is a strong scientific agreement about the cause of climate change, despite public perceptions to the contrary, said John Cook, the surveys lead author, in a statement. A team of Australian and North American scholars examined 11,944 peer-reviewed climate papers written by some 29,000 climate scientists between 1991...

Scientists say united on global warming, at odds with public view

Reuters: Ninety-seven percent of scientists say global warming is mainly man-made but a wide public belief that experts are divided is making it harder to gain support for policies to curb climate change, an international study showed on Thursday. The report found an overwhelming view among scientists that human activity, led by the use of fossil fuels, was the main cause of rising temperatures in recent decades. "There is a strong scientific agreement about the cause of climate change, despite public perceptions...
