Climate change has aggravated California's devastating drought, causing between 8 and 27 percent of the dry conditions afflicting the nation's most populous state, a study released on Thursday has found. The study, published this week in Geophysical Research Letters, is the first paper to estimate how much climate change has …
July smashed global records for warmth, beating all 1627 previous months since 1880, as a monster El Nino in the Pacific combined with background climate change, US scientists said. Last month, average sea and land surface temperatures across the planet were 16.61 degrees, beating the previous monthly record during the …
Did you know that a butterfly simply flapping its wings can change the course of weather patterns? It's known as the "butterfly effect," and it can seriously disrupt the reliability of weather forecasts--sometimes for up to 10 days, with strong fluctuations in temperatures. "This natural tendency to return to a …
Longer summers and erratic rainfall in Tamil Nadu have raised doubts over whether the state is experiencing impacts of climate change. Even if present-day weather uncertainties cannot be conclusively linked to climate change, there are several indications that unpredictable climate will become the norm in the coming years. Is the …
Mankind may be responsible for something we long thought out of our control: the changing of the seasons, according to a new study by Chinese and Canadian scientists. For the first time, researchers have found evidence that man-made climate change has suppressed the natural fluctuation of seasonal temperatures in the …
Parts of the Sydney region have shivered through another sub-zero morning with the city on track to record its chilliest July in 17 years in a month that is often marked by frequent cold fronts. The mercury dipped to minus 0.4 degrees in Richmond in Sydney's north-west on Tuesday morning, …
The El Nino continues to strengthen in the Pacific, exceeding by at least one measure the monster event of 1997-98, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. All the key regions of the equatorial Pacific used to monitor El Ninos have recorded sea-surface temperatures of 1 degree above average for 10 …

Sea ice around Antarctica is currently at record levels for May, part of a trend of increasing ice around the frozen continent making it harder to resupply and refuel research stations. More than 50 scientists are gathering in Hobart in Tasmania this week for a series of workshops on techniques …
It's March. It's freezing. And there's half a foot of snow on the ground. When is this winter going to end? Many scientists think that climate change might be one cause of this year's "snowpocalypse" in Boston and bitter cold snaps in New York and Washington. But physicists at NASA's …
Scientists are learning a bit more about abrupt climate shifts. They examined African lake sediments from the past 20,000 years in order to advance their understanding of current changing weather patterns and what we might expect in the future. In order to better understand past climate shifts, the researchers analyzed …
El Nino has failed again to arrive, and past performance says the odds are dwindling for the phenomenon that warms the equatorial Pacific and changes weather patterns around the world.
