Earth is danger zone in nearly all ecological ways--study

Thu, 2023-06-01 18:00 — mike kraft
Earth is 'really quite sick now' and in danger zone in nearly all ecological ways, study says A new study says Earth has pushed past seven out of eight scientifically established safety limits and into “the danger zone,” not just for an overheating planet that’s losing its natural areas, but for well-being of people living on it. The study, published Wednesday, looks not just at guardrails for the planetary ecosystem but for the first time it includes measures of “justice,” which is mostly about preventing harm for groups of people.

Analysis: Record breaking heat in Spain, North Africa impossible without climate change

Mon, 2023-05-08 09:56 — mike kraft
Spain's April heat nearly impossible without climate change Record-breaking April temperatures in Spain, Portugal and northern Africa were made 100 times more likely by human-caused climate change, a new flash study found, and would have been almost impossible in the past. A group of international scientists did a rapid computer and statistical analysis of a late April heat wave that stretched across the Iberian peninsula into Algeria and Morocco. The peaks of the heat wave varied from 36.9 degrees Celsius (98.4 degrees Fahrenheit) to 41 degrees Celsius (105.8 degrees Fahrenheit) degrees in the four countries.

El Niño is coming. Here's what that means for weather in the U.S. Warmer sea waters have many far-ranging effects. In the new pattern, some parts of the U.S. could get relief from drought, while others might see fewer hurricanes. NPR

As hot as the Earth's weather has been in recent years, it's about to get hotter: El Niño is on the way, with warmer sea temperatures promising new weather extremes, U.S. and international forecasters say.

Global warming may push more hurricanes toward the U.S. east and Gulf coasts--study

Mon, 2023-04-10 17:25 — mike kraft
Study says warming may push more hurricanes toward US coasts A new study says changes in air patterns as the world warms will likely push more and nastier hurricanes up against the United States’ east and Gulf coasts. Friday's study looks more at steering currents of future storms than past research, focusing on where storms will go instead of how big or frequent they will be. The study projects that in the future extra warming in the eastern equatorial Pacific will ripple through the atmosphere to push storms in the Atlantic more eastward toward the Southeast Coast and north in the Gulf of Mexico.
