Our Changing Climate
Geographers have projected
temperature increases due to
greenhouse gas emissions to
reach a not-so-chilling
conclusion: climate zones
will shift and some climates
will disappear completely by
2100. Tropical highlands and

Spring Flowers: Clues To Climate Change
Researchers began a
nationwide initiative to
track climate change by
recording the timing of the
first bud, first flower, and
seed dispersal for plants
across the country. They

Global Warming Equals Stronger Hurricanes
Climate change experts
studying hurricanes
documented a 35-year warming
trend in ocean surface
temperature and linked it to
larger hurricanes. The
increase has been 1 degree

Harder Rain, More Snow
While raising average global
temperatures, climate change
could also bring more snow,
harder rain, or heat waves,
meteorologists say. Computer
models based on climate data
from nine countries indicate
every place on the plan ... > full story

Meteorologists Discover How Monsoon Affects Summer Weather
Traveling to the coast of Western Mexico, U.S. researchers are studying the North American Monsoon, which brings humid air and heavy rain by blowing winds from the ocean. Studying the monsoon will ... > more -
Research Meteorologists See More Severe Storms Ahead: The Culprit -- Global Warming
Research Meteorologists found that the temperature changes brought on by global warming are significant enough to cause an increase in the occurrence of severe storms. Severe storms are those that ... > more -
Geophysicists Blame La Nina Weather For Lost Time
Geophysicists have identified the very real physical mechanism that can lengthen or shorten the amount of time the earth takes to complete one rotation. During La Nina the temperature of the Pacific ... > more -
Meteorologists Examine Relationship Of El Nino And Winter Tornadoes In The U.S.
Meteorologists found connections between the sea surface temperature in the tropical Pacific Ocean and the occurrence of tornadoes in unlikely parts of the North American continent. During El ... > more -
Environmental Scientists Find Tree Combo For Carbon Sequestration
A research team found 31 hardy trees that sequester carbon efficiently for the New York region, mitigating against the impacts of high deforestation and carbon release into the atmosphere in that ... > more -
Meteorologists And Epidemiologists Study Connection Between Thunderstorms And Asthma Attacks
A multidisciplinary team studying weather patterns and records of emergency room visits found a rise in patients with asthma attacks in the days after a thunderstorm. They believe that rain breaks ... > more
