RTCC: The Congo Basin will face disproportionately high levels of global warming by 2050 due to deforestation, researchers have warned. Shrinking rainforest cover means the area will heat up by an additional 0.7C by mid-century, on top of the 1.4C increase from todays temperatures that rising global greenhouse gas emissions are projected to cause. This is in addition to the 0.85C of warming that the world has already experienced since industrial times, when humans started burning fossil fuels at...

ClimateWire: A new study has found that the wavy jet stream pattern that tends to bring warm winter weather to the U.S. West and cold weather to the East was set in place 4,000 years ago. The research, published in the journal Nature Communications, also suggests that climate change may help keep the wavy pattern in place. "It's possible the kinds of changes we are seeing with increased jet stream sinuosity might continue into the future as a result of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, although it's not a perfect...

United Kingdom: Bluebells blooming three weeks earlier than last year due to warm spring

Telegraph: Bluebells are flowering much earlier than in last year's cold spring, with peak displays expected in time for Easter, according to the Woodland Trust. The charity said nearly 200 sightings of native bluebells had been recorded on its woodlandtrust.org.uk website. This time last year, just 43 submissions had been received because of the cold weather. The trust is expecting a much earlier average first flowering date for bluebells than in 2013, when the average date across the UK was May 5. The...
