WebProNews: In recent years reports on global warming have shifted away from firmly establishing a human connection to the phenomenon and have instead begun warning of the dire consequences humanity might face as a result of climate change. An Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment report released in April of this year warned that humans are ill-prepared for climate change and that more proactive steps will be needed to stop it. Now, a new study is showing that even the most ambitious...
It is 99.999 percent likely global warming is caused by humans: CSIRO

9News: A CSIRO report has declared the chances of global warming being the result of human industry as 99.999 percent likely. The paper published yesterday in the Climate Risk Management journal noted December 2013 was the 346th consecutive month where global land and ocean temperatures exceeded the monthly average of the 20th century. In other words, not since February 1985 have global conditions been below the average mark. The likelihood of such an occurrence without human contribution is less than...

Global warming to heighten risk of Southwestern megadroughts

The current drought may be a mere sneak preview of longer lasting and more devastating drought in the coming century, according to a study published in the Journal of Climate. The study -- by Cornell University, University of Arizona and U.S. Geological Survey researchers -- examines the likelihood of so-called "megadroughts" and how they may change as the climate warms. Megadroughts are distinguished by their...

Global warming: How rising alpine vegetation could hit California water supply
2014-09-03 03:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: A warming-climate-induced march of alpine vegetation up a large river basin on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada could slash by one-fourth the annual flow of water the basin delivers to Californias thirsty Central Valley by the last two decades of this century, a new study says. The results of the Kings River Basin study imply that the same type of risk holds for another 10 major river basins along the western Sierra, although to varying degrees, say the researchers involved in the study....
