What a nasty winter we’re having, eh? There has been a lot of complaining about the cold and the snow this winter. You can’t open your Facebook feed without hearing about the “unusual winter” and people’s personal gripes with the weather in their area. The polar vortex that dunked much of the country into unusually cold weather for a few weeks was, admittedly, quite an occurrence.
And there have been awful stories of places like Atlanta, where they just don’t get snow, and people were stranded for hours and days in massive traffic jams caused by panic over a dusting. Of course, we Northerners laugh at them, but the total meltdown of a city after receiving two inches of snow is more due to suburban sprawl and traffic-flow problems than any reaction to the snow itself. But this winter wasn’t unusual. The Ultimate Guide to Shutting Down Climate Trolls. Photo Credit: Christopher Halloran / Shutterstock.com February 15, 2014 | Like this article?

The Sound of Global Warming: Melting Glaciers Sizzle in Warm Water. First Posted: Nov 28, 2013 10:06 AM EST What does global warming sound like?
Scientists may have just found that out. They've recorded and identified the sizzle of glacier ice as it melts into the sea. Information Graphics. Top Ten Climate Change Threats being ignored by your Television News. Since many mainstream media outlets in the US are burying the dramatic climate change stories from all around the world, either by not reporting them or by reporting incidents with no context, it is important for the progressive alternative press to keep this subject in the public eye. 1.
Many observers believe climate change is behind the early start of the bushfire season in Australia’s New South Wales and its many conflagrations (there are 80 fires as I speak and hundreds of homes have been lost). This, at a time when the incoming conservative government plans to abolish the carbon tax and scale back government commitment to green energy. Aljazeera International reports on the unprecedented threat of the fires to homes in New South Wales: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. CO2 Reshaping the Planet, Meta-Analysis Confirms.

Areas in red indicate temperatures in the range of 77-86 degrees (Fahrenheit) but may not fully capture daily maximum temperatures. (Image source: Arctic Weather Maps) During a murder investigation, sometimes you find traces of smoke from a gun fired in relation to the crime. In other cases, sometimes you find the gun itself. Even more rarely, do you find a smoking gun dropped at a still fresh crime scene. The crime scene: another anomalous Arctic heat wave.
Yesterday, I reported that a large Arctic heat wave had settled over Siberia, once again setting off tundra fires.

What do all of these things have in common? Climate change. There are those who will jump up and say that it’s all nonsense, that severe weather events are nothing new. Cheap Food Is A Thing Of The Past, Report Warns. Ancient Irish texts show volcanic link to cold weather. Researchers have been able to trace the impact of volcanic eruptions on the climate over a 1200 year period by assessing ancient Irish texts. The international team compared entries in these medieval annals with ice core data indicating volcanic eruptions.
Of 38 volcanic events, 37 were associated with directly observed cold weather extremes recorded in the chronicles. The report is published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. Best Images Yet Of Antarctica’s Mountainous Landscape Beneath The Ice. IPCC-DDC: Carbon Dioxide: Projected emissions and concentrations. Location: Carbon Dioxide Storylines and emissions. What Does 400 ppm Look Like? As atmospheric carbon dioxide levels rise, scientists look back four million years for answers on what to expect from climate The Pliocene is the geologic era between five million and three million years ago.
Scientists have come to regard it as the most recent period in history when the atmosphere’s heat-trapping ability was as it is now and thus as our guide for things to come. Recent estimates suggest CO2 levels reached as much as 415 parts per million (ppm) during the Pliocene. Climate change isn't AN issue, it's THE issue.

Climate change forecast to shrink habitat of common plants, animals. Fears Grow of a Himalayan Tsunami as Glaciers Melt. Melting glaciers and rising temperatures are forming a potentially destructive combination in the deep ravines of Nepal ’s Himalayan foothills, and the Phulping Bridge — on the Araniko Highway linking Kathmandu with the Chinese border — is a good place to see just how dangerous the pairing can be. A bare concrete pillar stands there, little noticed by the drivers of trucks, laden with Chinese goods, that rattle along at high speeds across the bridge, about 110 km from Kathmandu. The pillar is all that’s left of the original Phulping Bridge, which was swept away by floodwaters in July 1981. Climate Scientist Explains Climate Change Effect on Tornadoes Like Moore, Oklahoma's.
