Rapid rise in Arctic temperatures to blame for worlds extreme weather
2014-08-11 21:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: Scientists have linked the rapid rise in Arctic temperatures over the past two decades to weather extremes in the northern hemisphere such as heatwaves in the US and flooding in Europe. Temperatures in the Arctic have risen twice as fast as the rest of the world since 2000, and this could have triggered changes to global wind patterns, which have brought extreme weather to lower latitudes, the researchers said. A study has found that the number of extreme weather events, such as heatwaves,...

Global warming could be to blame for mysterious Siberian crater
2014-08-09 12:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: After a 30 metre mystery crater was discovered in July by a helicopter pilot, many in the scientific community have been confused by its appearance. There have been suggestions of a missile explosion, meteorite and of course alien claims. However, Russian scientists have now said the most likely cause is linked to abnormally hot summers. The large crater was found in the Yamal peninsula in Siberia and researchers suggest it was caused by methane being released from thawing permafrost. Andrei...

Global warming may be to blame for tornado onslaughts
2014-08-08 16:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: Tornadoes are aping buses: you wait ages and then a bunch of them come along at once. The twisters are increasingly arriving in clusters, with some days spawning more than 30 across the US, according to an analysis of weather records. Global warming may be to blame. Climatologists have long suspected that a warmer world would influence tornadoes but the evidence has been scant. In particular, the number of tornadoes has held steady for decades. It's when they do hit that they seem increasingly...

Is climate change blame for stronger, more frequent tornadoes?
2014-08-07 13:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Could climate change spawn more frequent and stronger tornadoes in the United States? It appears possible, according to a new study out of Florida State University. "We may be less threatened by tornadoes on a day-to-day basis, but when they do come, they come like there's no tomorrow," said study author and geography Professor James Elsner in a news release. Elsner's study, published Wednesday in the journal Climate Dynamics, is titled "The Increasing Efficiency of Tornado Days in the United...
