Is global warming causing harsher winters?

Agence France-Presse: Millions of people in northern Europe are still battling snow and ice, wondering why they are being punished with bitter cold when - officially - spring has arrived and Earth is in the grip of global warming. Yet some scientists, eyeing the fourth year in a row of exceptionally harsh late-winter weather in parts of Europe and North America, suggest warming is precisely the problem. In a complex tango between ocean and atmosphere, warming is causing icy polar air to be displaced southwards, they...

Winter's sting: Intense weather suggests the climate is changing

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Global warming skeptics reacted with glee to the recent record snowfalls from the Midwest to states farther south. But the intensity of such storms and other severe weather does not refute climate warnings. Rather, it reinforces the likelihood that the world's climate is changing because of human activity -- and not for the better. More than 21 inches of snow fell in Wichita, Kan., in February, breaking a century-old monthly record. More snow fell in one day in Amarillo, Texas, last month (19 inches)...

In 1918, the world seems on the verge of apocalypse. Americans roam the streets in gauze masks to ward off the deadly Spanish influenza, and the government ships young men to the front lines of a brutal war, creating an atmosphere of fear and confusion. Sixteen-year-old Mary Shelley Black watches as desperate mourners flock to séances and spirit photographers for comfort, but she herself has never believed in ghosts. During her bleakest moment, however, she's forced to rethink her entire way of looking at life and death, for her first love — a boy who died in battle — returns in spirit form. But what does he want from her? Featuring haunting archival early-20th century photographs, Cat Winters's In the Shadow of Blackbirds (Amulet Books) is a tense, romantic story set in a past that is eerily like our own time.
New questions about Gulf Stream role in tempering Europe's winters

Scientific American: For a century, schoolchildren have been taught that the massive ocean current known as the Gulf Stream carries warm water from the tropical Atlantic Ocean to northwestern Europe. As it arrives, the water heats the air above it. That air moves inland, making winter days in Europe milder than they are in the northeastern U.S. It might be time to retire that tidy story. The explosion of interest in global climate has prompted scientists to closely study the climatic effects of the Gulf Stream only...
