Scientists Examine Dangerous Global Warming ‘Accelerators’ – InsideClimate News
Recent climate projections may be underestimating the pace of global warming in an atmosphere damaged by greenhouse gas emissions, because the interaction of powerful climate feedback loops that can accelerate warming are not well-represented in key climate models, an international…
Antarctic Researchers Report an Extraordinary Marine Heatwave That Could Threaten Antarctica’s Ice Shelves – InsideClimate News
Research scientists on ships along Antarctica’s west coast said their recent voyages have been marked by an eerily warm ocean and record-low sea ice coverage—extreme climate conditions, even compared to the big changes of recent decades, when the region warmed…
The serious effects of global warming [column] | Local Voices … – LNP | LancasterOnline
Some people like to argue that the bitter cold “proves” there is no global warming. In fact, the opposite is true. Global warming is most severe in the polar regions. The reason is that the water and soil absorb heat,…
Formation of the North Atlantic Warming Hole by reducing … – Nature.com
In this study, sensitivity experiments were conducted with no anthropogenic SO2 emissions (Sulf × 00) and double anthropogenic SO2 emissions (Sulf × 2) compared to those in the base experiment; and for comparison, additional experiments were also carried out wherein CO2 concentrations of 0.9…
Mathematical Alarms Could Help Predict and Avoid Climate Tipping Points – InsideClimate News
When New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell published the best-selling book The Tipping Point in 2000, he was writing, in part, about the baffling drop in crime that started in the 1990s. The concept of a tipping point was that small…
As a Result of an Impressive Cold Blob Anomaly in the North Atlantic, Glaciers in Parts of Greenland, Iceland, and … – Severe Weather Europe
An impressive cold water anomaly in the North Atlantic called “The Cold Blob” is something likely caused by the weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, also known as AMOC. The cold blob, affecting air temperature in this crucial area…
Climate Tipping Points Are Closer Than Once Thought – NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council)
Smoke from a fire in the Amazon rainforest near Porto Velho, Rondonia State, September 2019 Bruno Kelly/Reuters Why are scientists increasingly concerned about climate tipping points? There are still many unknowns, but improved climate modeling and new observations create a…
What we know — and don’t — about how climate change impacts hurricanes like Ian – news.wgcu.org
It’s a question that follows any natural disaster, especially monster hurricanes like Ian: Was this caused by climate change? When asked, scientists like Kevin Reed usually push back. Most researchers agree it’s not valid to point to a single storm…

Global ‘stilling’: Is climate change slowing down the wind? | Greenbiz – GreenBiz
Last year, from summer into fall, much of Europe experienced what’s known as a “wind drought.” Wind speeds in many places slowed about 15 percent below the annual average, and in other places, the drop was even more pronounced. It…
