Global warming could fuel European hurricanes
2013-03-20 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit County: European climate scientists say global warming will drive a northeastward expansion of the tropical Atlantic hurricane breeding ground, with four times as many storms of tropical origins affecting parts of Western Europe in coming decades. In the Bay of Biscay, the number of storms with tropical-storm-force winds could increase from 2 to 13 by the end of the century, said researcher Reindert Haarsma. The initial results suggest that the impacts may not be as great in the low-lying Netherlands...

Link between tornadoes and global warming is complicated
2013-03-19 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Courier-Journal: We keep hearing scientists tell us that we can expect more potent storms as part of climate change brought on by global warming. But what about tornadoes? It`s complicated and uncertain. After deadly tornadoes last March ripped through the eastern part of the United States, hitting Kentucky and Indiana especially hard, there was some speculation that global warming might have been at least partly to blame. "As spring moves up a week or two, tornado season will start in February instead...
Global warming effect on Antarctica, ice cover disappears from King George Island

Times of India: Could anyone imagine the islands on the South Pole (Antarctica) without its proverbial ice? It seems unthinkable as the man's flirtation with nature, though for scientific research purposes, is paving way to global warming and seems to have cast its shadow on the icy lands as well. Antarctica has gone through major geographical changes of late and one of its islands' (King George) ice cover has totally disappeared. Even the penguins are facing the threat of extinction. This came to light after...

Global warming detailed in new temperature records

Washington Post: SCIENTISTS HAVE a good sense of what the Earth's climate has been like over the past handful of centuries. But what about many thousands of years back? In a recent article in the journal Science, researchers at Oregon State University and Harvard explained how they used marine fossils to piece together a rough temperature record going back 11,300 years to the most recent ice age. That record indicates that the Earth warmed as it emerged from the ice age, followed by a long-term cooling trend....

Investors hot for global warming plays

Bloomberg: Investing in climate change used to mean financing the fight against global warming. Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., and other firms took stakes in wind farms and tidal-energy projects, and set up carbon-trading desks. Then, as efforts to curb greenhouse-gas emissions faltered, the appeal of clean tech dimmed: Venture capital and private- equity investments fell 34 percent last year, to $5.8 billion, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. Now the smart money is taking another approach:...
