Climate: Greenhouse gases drive Australia drying trend
2014-07-14 09:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases and ozone depletion over Antarctica are the main drivers of the long-term decline in rainfall over southwestern Australia, federal scientists said in a weekend press release. The findings, published in Nature Geoscience, are derived from a new high-resolution climate model that may help researchers identify more links between heat-trapping gases and regional climate trends, including here in the U.S. "This is really the first study to explicitly...

Australia drying caused by greenhouse gases, study shows

ScienceDaily: The agreement between observed and model simulated rainfall changes supports the idea that human activity contributed to the drying of southwestern Australia and that the drying will increase in the 21st century. Changes in fall-winter rainfall from observations (top panel) as compared to model simulation of the past century (middle panel), and a model projection of the middle of the 21st century.

Computer Models Says Australia Drying Due To Ozone Depletion, Greenhouse Gases
2014-07-13 19:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science 2.0: A new climate model says that southwestern Australia's long-term decline in fall and winter rainfall is caused by increases in man-made greenhouse gas emissions and ozone depletion. NOAA researchers conducted several climate simulations using their global climate model to study long-term changes in rainfall in various regions across the globe. One of the most striking signals of change emerged over Australia, where a long-term decline in fall and winter rainfall has been observed over parts of...

Australia drying out thanks to our emissions
2014-07-13 19:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: Australia is drying out, and it's largely our fault. The south-west of the country can expect to see average annual rainfall drop by 40 per cent compared with the mid-20th century, and a new model suggests that the main cause is human greenhouse gas emissions. Water from the skies is the stuff of life but the expectation is that many parts of the world will see less of it with climate change. But predicting how much rain will fall where is devilishly difficult. It is an important question,...
