Bay Area Indymedia: "An important part of the global air motion in the mid-latitudes of the Earth normally takes the form of waves wandering around the planet, oscillating between the tropical and the Arctic regions. So when they swing up, these waves suck warm air from the tropics to Europe, Russia, or the US, and when they swing down, they do the same thing with cold air from the Arctic," explains lead author Vladimir Petoukhov.

Significant weather events such as the heat wave in the United States in 2011 or the one in Russia 2010 coinciding with the unprecedented Pakistan flood could have a common physical cause, scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research said. Writing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, they suggest human-caused climate change...

Since 2010, for example, the US and Russia have each suffered scorching heat waves, while Pakistan saw unprecedented flooding. Scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) have traced the events to a disturbance in the air currents in the northern hemisphere, in a new study out on Monday...
