El Nio Could Usher in a Decade of Stronger Events

2015-12-20 16:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Climate Central: In Buffalo, early December meant breaking a 116-year-old record for a lack of snow. In Duluth, Minn., a newspaper reported that the temperature was 40 degrees above zero, not below. And in Miami, beachgoers stayed indoors during what had become the third-wettest December in local history, just eight days into the month. What's going on with the weather? It's the phenomenon called El Nio, which is happening now as ocean water temperatures rise above normal across the central and eastern Pacific,...

New study casts doubt on climate link to El Nio

2015-12-18 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ClimateWire: A new study is challenging conventional predictions of El Nio weather patterns. The study, published Dec. 14 in Nature Geoscience, finds that the El Nio pattern -- a warming in the equatorial Pacific Ocean associated with wet weather on the West Coast -- may be less influenced by large-scale climate trends than currently assumed. The study challenges nine climate models in use today, which find an association between strong seasonal shifts -- exceptionally hot summers and cold winters --...

Mongabay: A total of 18,716 fires were reported in the Brazilian Amazon in November alone, primarily caused by farming activity.

They stress the need for global leaders to address the growing problem of tropical forest fires, to both protect wildlife habitat and improve public health. The severe fires that have been ripping through Indonesias forests have rightfully been a focal point for international media this...

The Climate Prediction Center (CPC), an agency of the National Weather Service, in its monthly forecast broadly maintained its outlook for strong El Nino conditions likely to persist through the winter. "El Nio has already produced significant global impacts...

'Monster' El Nio could usher in decade of more and stronger events

2015-12-09 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Reuters: In Buffalo, it hasn't snowed yet this year. A Duluth, Minnesota, newspaper reported that the temperature was 40 degrees above zero, not below. And in Miami, beachgoers are staying indoors during what's already the third-wettest December in local history. What's going on with the weather? It's the phenomenon called El Nino, which is happening now as ocean water temperatures rise above normal across the central and eastern Pacific, near the equator. Its effects will leave the U.S. Northeast warmer...
