Yahoo: The 7.1 trillion gallons of torrential rainfall that a storm dumped on Louisiana in August, leading to a flooding disaster that killed at least 13 people and caused more than $1 billion in damage, had a direct link to human-caused global warming, a new study finds. In short, while these events are still rare on the order of about once every 1,000 years at the local level they used to be far more infrequent, the study, released Wednesday, concludes. Scientists studying the storm using readings...

Zee: Ocean storms across East and South east Asia will become more intense and destructive in the coming years due to spike in ocean warming, according to a latest study. Researchers at the University of South Carolinas (USC) Department of Marine Sciences found that the deadly super typhoons has intensified by 50% in the last 40 years due to climate change. The theory, outlined in Nature Geoscience, highlights that warmer sea temperature provides more fuel to the typhoons that would wreck havoc on...

For Lizards, Climate Change Is A Deadly And Complex Threat

National Public Radio: Lizards are expected to be hard hit by climate change - and a new study suggests it might be even worse for some lizards than scientists thought. Lizards are sensitive to global warming because they regulate their body temperature using the environment. They bask in the sun, and cool off in the shade. It's been predicted that about 40 percent of the world's lizard populations will die off by the year 2080, which means roughly 20 percent of lizard species will go extinct. That prediction was...
