ClimateWire: New research released yesterday links human-caused climate change to six of 12 extreme weather events from 2012, including summer heat waves in the United States and storm surges from Superstorm Sandy. Teams of scientists from around the world examined the causes behind extreme weather events on five continents and in the Arctic. Their results were published as a special report in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. One of the stronger linkages between global warming and severe...

New Report Connects 2012 Extreme Weather Events to Human-Caused Climate Change

World Resources Institute: As extreme weather events like wildfires, heat waves, downpours, and droughts continue to make headlines in the United States and around the world, many have wondered what their connection is to climate change. A new report sheds some light, firmly drawing correlations between several extreme weather events in 2012 and human-induced warming. In a report published yesterday in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS), scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration...

Climate Change May Have Impacted Half of 2012's Extreme Weather

Wired: 2012 was a rough year around the globe, and not for any of the Planet X/Mayan calendar doomsday reasons people feared. Instead, it was a year of extreme weather: drought and heat waves in the United States; record rainfall in the United Kingdom; unusually heavy rains in Kenya, Somalia, Japan, and Australia; drought in Spain; floods in China. And of course there was Superstorm Sandy. One of the first questions asked in the wake of such an extreme weather event is: Is this due to climate change?...

Report Ties Climate to Extreme Events, But Shows Hurdles
2013-09-06 19:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Climate scientists examining a dozen extreme weather events from 2012 found that manmade global warming likely contributed to at least half of them, including a record-breaking deadly heat wave in the U.S. The international report released on Thursday offers a demonstration of the new capabilities that scientists are developing in an emerging, complex area of climate science known as "extreme event attribution.' On the whole, the scientists found that, as suspected, climate change has already...

Assessing the Role of Global Warming in Extreme Weather of 2012
2013-09-06 16:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: British and American climate agencies, drawing on work from around the world, have produced the second in what is planned as an annual roundup of studies seeking to characterize the contribution of human-driven global warming to rare and consequential weather and coastal events. The package, Explaining Extreme Events of 2012 from a Climate Perspective, was published yesterday in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. (You can listen to a discussion of the findings between authors...
