Global warming may cause extremes by slowing "planetary waves"

Reuters: Global warming may have caused extreme events such as a 2011 drought in the United States and a 2003 heatwave in Europe by slowing vast, wave-like weather flows in the northern hemisphere, scientists said on Tuesday. The study of meandering air systems that encircle the planet adds to understanding of extremes that have killed thousands of people and driven up food prices in the past decade. Such planetary air flows, which suck warm air from the tropics when they swing north and draw cold air...

Global warming: Are oceans headed for a dead zone?
2013-02-25 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: Careful analysis of the marine fossil record from the Early Jurassic era (about 180 million years ago), suggests that warmer global temperatures and lower oxygen levels led to dramatic ecosystem changes, with a near extinction of ocean life. Those ecosystems later rebouned, but with a completely different species composition, according to Plymouth University (UK) scientists who studied ocean sediments along the North Yorkshire coast. "Our study of fossil marine ecosystems shows that if global warming...

Press-Enterprise: Fewer Californians today believe global warming is a problem that needs remedying than six years ago, according to a Field Poll released Monday, Feb. 25.

President Obama Urged to Outline Plan to Tackle Global Warming in State of the Union

EcoWatch: In his Inaugural Address last month, President Obama committed to addressing global warming with strong words: We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. We expect the president to follow up on this commitment in his State of the Union address tonight. From Hurricane Sandy to the worst drought since the Dust Bowl, far too many Americans have already been affected by extreme weather events fueled by global...
My Global Warming Story and the State of the Union

Huffington Post: Just a few weeks ago, the boardwalk on Long Beach, New York was dismantled. The boardwalk's fixtures - bike riders, strollers, and elderly bench-sitters - are gone. I grew up in Long Beach. I spent countless hours there walking with my grandparents, racing bikes with my brother, riding the carousel, playing Skeeball, bowling, and eating many an ice cream cone. For the 75 year old wooden boardwalk and the beautiful beach below, Superstorm Sandy was just too much. Of course, the storm had...
