Extreme weather and Resilience of coastal communities in United States
2013-02-17 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Hurricane Sandy was a fearsome reminder that coastal communities are highly vulnerable to extreme weather events and environmental variability, and that vulnerability is only expected to increase with climate change. Brown University scientists Heather Leslie and Leila Sievanen, members of an interdisciplinary research team focused on human-environment interactions in coastal regions, will discuss these challenges this month at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement...

Washington Post: President Obama made an explicit link between extreme weather and climate change during his speech Tuesday night, the way he did in his second inaugural address and during his victory acceptance speech. Obama intends to use the bully pulpit to emphasize the threat global warming poses, aides and supporters say, in order to build public support for future efforts to cut greenhouse gases. We can choose to believe that Superstorm Sandy, and the most severe drought in decades, and the worst wildfires...

And the Norfolk Farming Conference later this month will hear that our changing climate could bring yet more challenges for the region`s farmers in future -- but also some opportunities. From drought to deluge, and from snowfalls to floods even by its own fickle standards, the British weather set a new benchmark for unpredictably during 2012, making life extremely difficult for East Anglias farmers.

ScienceDaily: Increasingly frequent extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, severe storms, and heat waves have focused the attention of climate scientists on the connections between greenhouse warming and extreme weather. Because of the potential threat to U.S. national security, a new study was conducted to explore the forces driving extreme weather events and their impacts over the next decade, specifically with regard to their implications for national security planning. The report finds that the early...

Experts: Climate change to bring milder winter, more extreme weather to South Dakota in 2050
2013-02-02 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Argus Leader: South Dakota in 2050 will have longer growing seasons, milder winters and more extreme weather events if national weather experts are correct in analyzing the effects of greenhouse gases on climate warming. A draft report released earlier this month by the National Climate Assessment and Development Advisory Committee projects that at the current rate of greenhouse gas emissions, the average temperature in South Dakota will rise an additional 5 degrees Fahrenheit by 2050. That comes as the National...
