So is this the start of a trend, and should we should expect weather like this every year? Don't count on it, according to a number of climate scientists who've been researching the prevalence of weather extremes in recent years. In fact, over...
Robotic Submarine Makes Surprising Find Beneath Antarctic Sea Ice
For the last few years scientist have looked on, puzzled, as the extent of Antarctic sea ice expanded to record highs, antithetical to climate models and other scientific projections. And now, after unleashing a robotic submarine (known as the AUV) underneath six small sections of Antarctic sea ice, an international team of scientists has found that, not only is the extent of Antarctic sea ice expanding, but that ice is also much thicker than expected, too. The scientists found that...
Extreme Weather Caused By Global Warming Could Become Normal, World Bank Warns
Extreme weather because of global warning could become the new climate normal, increasing the risk of world instability, the World Bank warns in a new report released Sunday. Turn Down the Heat: Confronting the New Climate Normal analyzes the impact of warming of 2 to 4 degrees Celsius (3.6 and 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels on crops and coastlines.“Today’s report confirms what scientists have been saying – past emissions have set an unavoidable course to warming over the next...
