Climate change and extreme weather linked to high pressure Greenland
2016-04-27 01:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Phys.Org: Greenland is one of the fastest-warming regions of the world, according to climate change experts at the University of Sheffield. New research, led by Professor Edward Hanna from the University's Department of Geography, has identified changes in weather systems over Greenland that have dragged unusually warm air up over the western flank of Greenland's Ice Sheet. These weather systems are also linked to extreme weather patterns over...

India crippled by extreme weather as 100 million exposed to floods

Guardian: High temperatures and a crippling shortage of rainfall in India is forcing schools to close and communities to ration drinking water. In Chennai, the oppressive heat currently gripping the southern Indian city has led to workers demanding an allowance for working in stifling factories and vets offering advice on caring for pets to avoid dehydration. While some rains would have been a blessing in disguise, the rain gods have ditched Chennai, writes a reporter for Skymet, which provides weather forecasts...

Anthropocene Science --Links Extreme Weather Human-Induced Climate Change
2016-03-13 16:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Galaxy: Extreme weather events like floods, heat waves and droughts can devastate communities and populations worldwide. Recent scientific advances have enabled researchers to confidently say that the increased intensity and frequency of some, but not all, of these extreme weather events is influenced by human-induced climate change, according to an international National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine report released on March 11. "In the past, many scientists have been cautious of attributing...

Climate Change: Extreme Weather Events Linked To Earths Changing Climate
2016-03-12 14:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inquisitr: Linking extreme weather events to change is becoming easier for scientists. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NAS) has compiled a list of extreme weather events which can be linked to climate change. University of Georgia scientist J. Marshall Shepherd said this list is "the first definitive ranking of what events can be attributed to climate change." Doctor David Titley, the head of the committee that wrote the NAS list commented further on the link between climate change...

UK floods and extreme global weather linked to El Nio and climate change
2015-12-27 18:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: From some of the worst floods ever known in Britain, to record-breaking temperatures over the Christmas holiday in the US and and forest fires in Australia, the link between the tumultuous weather events experienced around the world in the last few weeks is likely to be down to the natural phenomenon known as El Nio making the effects of man-made climate change worse, say atmospheric scientists. El Nio occurs every seven to eight years and is caused by unusually warm water in the Pacific Ocean....
