Christian Science Monitor: While temperatures across the United States in May were unimpressive, it was a different story altogether for the entire planet, which experienced its warmest May since records began in 1880 and could be headed to its warmest year ever, climate scientists say. According to the latest report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), released on Monday, the average global temperature this May was 59.93 degrees F., 1.33 degrees above the 20th century average. This breaks the...

Yale Environment 360: Forty-three hurricane-force winter storms have lashed the North Atlantic since late October, boosting the region's average wind speed in January and February by more than 12 miles per hour, as shown in this map from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The blue colors indicate areas where wind speeds exceeded the 1981-2010 average; browns indicate winds that were lower than average. In the North Atlantic, an unusually high number of hurricane-force storms, with winds exceeding...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported on Thursday that the average global temperature was 54.8 degrees Fahrenheit in January, coming in above the 20th century average of 53.6 degrees Fahrenheit. "We see more evidence that we will continue to have cold air outbreaks as the climate continues to warm," said Deke Arndt, a scientist with...

Nature World: The Arctic continues to get warmer and greener, even though this summer was cooler than the last, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday with the release of its Arctic Report Card 2013. Cooler temperatures in the summer helped curb the Arctic region's sea ice loss and extensive melting along the surface of the Greenland ice sheet, but there were still regional weather extremes such as record low May snowfall in Eurasia and record high summer temperatures in Alaska. ...
NOAA: Agency filed inaccurate data in climate report

Greenwire: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provided inaccurate data to the Commerce Department -- and ultimately the White House -- on its energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, according to Commerce's inspector general. The criticism came in a letter from IG Todd Zinser to the Bicameral Task Force on Climate Change. The panel, which has six co-chairmen including Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), had requested an assessment of whether Commerce is "doing...
