Climate Central: The U.S. West is still baking. The temperatures for June are in and five Western states saw their warmest June ever (helping to make the month the second warmest June for the contiguous U.S.), and four continue to see their warmest year-to-date, just as 2015 hits the halfway mark. In drought-plagued California, "we're beating the record set just last year' and "not by a razor thin margin,' Daniel Swain, a PhD student at Stanford University, said. The huge area of considerable warmth in the...

Daily Climate: Greenlands polar bears have a thyroid problem. Their endocrine systems, too, are being disrupted. In both cases the culprit agency is environmental pollution by a range of long-lived industrial chemicals and pesticides. Kristin Mller Gabrielsen of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim and colleagues report in the journal Environmental Research that they examined the liver, muscle and kidney tissues taken from seven polar bears killed by Inuit hunters in East Greenland...

Thirty years of consecutive warmth: The heat really is on
2015-03-17 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: Back in February 1985, The Heat Is On by US rock legend Glenn Frey was near the top of the music charts and unwittingly becoming something of an anthem for the global climate ever since. Last month capped 30 years in which average monthly temperatures worldwide have been warmer than the average for the 20th century. That's 360 consecutive months.

USA Today: In the coming years, thanks to a rapidly warming climate, sea level rise and flooding will become a frequent occurrence on every coast of the North American continent. While Southern California will suffer from some of the most significant sea level rise, no coastal community will be exempt. A recently published report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shows just how frequent and dire the predictions are becoming. Today, it is already five to ten times more likely,...
