The rapid change in weather caused several cars to slide around and hit their brakes.
P.S. ``... is undergoing
some rapid changes in weather.»
The bad news; Our planet is undergoing
some rapid changes in weather.
Not exact matches
Its core is a flurry of recent research proposing that such extreme
weather events
in the midlatitudes are linked through the atmosphere with the effects of
rapid climate
change in the Arctic, such as dwindling sea ice.
Attention Campers: San Miguel is exposed to
rapid weather change resulting
in large swells and strong winds.
There has been an ongoing debate, both
in and outside the scientific community, whether
rapid climate
change in the Arctic might affect circulation patterns
in the mid-latitudes, and thereby possibly the frequency or intensity of extreme
weather events.
Another way of putting it is that if the
weather record that was broken last week was set last year then we're probably
in the midst of a
rapid change in climate.
So, I was curious about your recent paper and whether there was any discussion of
changes in the THC poleward of the GIS shelf vs the data from the
RAPID program line located at 26.5 N. With the decline
in minimum extent and volume of sea - ice, one might expect to see more THC sinking into the Arctic Ocean, with consequences for both climate and
weather.
UR, I would be very interested
in examining any of your evidence for (a)
rapid climate
change (
weather patterns over a min of 30 years, WMO definition) because I couldn't find any after three ebooks and 6 years of research), and more importantly, (b) any that are likely mainly anthropogenic.
«At the end of the last ice age around 11,000 years ago, the ice sheet went through a period of
rapid, sustained ice loss when
changes in global
weather patterns and rising sea levels pushed warm water closer to the ice sheet — just as is happening today,» NASA said.
The supposed stable configuration of geography, with relatively predictable climate patterns, coastlines and icepacks
in familiar locations, and clear demarcations of territorial control on land are increasingly dubious assumptions as
weather patterns
change, sea levels rise and ice packs disintegrate while technological innovations, communications and global markets cause
rapid fluctuations
in the price
in food and other essentials across boundaries.
This
rapid transition also means energy production is more sensitive to
weather and
changes in climate.
The apparent attempts to cover up problems with temperature data from the Chinese
weather stations provide the first link between the email scandal and the UN's embattled climate science body, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change, as a paper based on the measurements was used to bolster IPCC statements about
rapid global warming
in recent decades.
David has been a leading voice
in arguing for
rapid action on climate
change, and I think he makes a powerful case that the choice is between increasingly extreme and frequent
weather events, or returning to a safe climate.
The waves constantly
change shape, and so cause
rapid variations
in the
weather.
For example, the National Academies recently published a study on the attribution of extreme events
in the context of climate
change, noting that «advances have come about for two main reasons: one, the understanding of the climate and
weather mechanisms that produce extreme events is improving, and two,
rapid progress is being made
in the methods that are used for event attribution.
So concludes Munich Re, a top reinsurer,
in a major new study that, for the first time, links the
rapid rise
in North American extreme
weather catastrophes to manmade climate
change.
And as Climate Progress reported last week, Munich Re, a top reinsurer, released a major new study that for the first time, links the
rapid rise
in North American extreme
weather catastrophes to manmade climate
change:
The study, published Sunday
in the journal Nature Climate
Change, is the first to find correlations between
rapid Arctic warming and extreme summer
weather events, since previous research had focused on the links between Arctic warming and fall and winter
weather patterns.
Such
weather patterns, which can feature relatively mild conditions
in the Arctic at the same time dangerously cold conditions exist
in vast parts of the lower 48, may be tied to the
rapid warming and loss of sea ice
in the Arctic due,
in part, to manmade climate
change.
But the lack of statistically significant results and, more important, the absence of evidence pointing to a smoking gun — a physical mechanism
in the climate system that ties Arctic
changes to extreme events — has left many top climate researchers unconvinced that
rapid Arctic warming is a major player
in causing extreme
weather events outside of the Arctic itself.
Climate
change is already causing more extreme
weather events and
rapid snow melt — two events known to trigger flooding
in the Columbia River system.
As the amount of carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere climbs to 400 parts per million and beyond, and the impacts of climate
change become more unmistakable and destructive —
rapid melting of Arctic Ocean ice, a rising incidence of extreme
weather events — the case for extracting carbon from the atmosphere becomes increasingly compelling.
