UC experts detail new standard for cleaner transportation fuels
08-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
University of California experts today released their much-anticipated blueprint for fighting global warming by reducing the amount of carbon emitted when transportation fuels are used in California. This "Low Carbon Fuel Standard," designed to stimulate improvements in transportation-fuel technologies, is expected to become the foundation for similar initiatives in other states, as well as nationally and internationally.

Climate's remote control on hurricanes
12-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Natural climate variations, which tend to involve localized changes in sea surface temperature, may have a larger effect on hurricane activity than the more uniform patterns of global warming, a report in this week's Nature suggests.

NASA eyes warm sea surface temperatures for hurricanes
08-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
Sea surface temperatures are one of the key ingredients for tropical cyclone formation and they were warming up in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean and eastern Atlantic Ocean by the middle of August. As a result, they helped spawn Hurricane Dean in the central Atlantic, and Tropical Storm Erin in the Gulf of Mexico, both during the week of Aug. 13.

A change in the wind
04-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
Climate model simulations for the 21st century indicate a robust increase in wind shear in the tropical Atlantic due to global warming, which may inhibit hurricane development and intensification. Historically, increased wind shear has been associated with reduced hurricane activity and intensity. This new finding is reported in a study in the April 18 Geophysical Research Letters.

Scientists link volcanic eruptions that formed North Atlantic Ocean to ancient global warming
04-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists examining a spike in worldwide ocean temperatures 55 million years ago have linked it to massive volcanic eruptions that pushed Greenland and northwest Europe apart to create the North Atlantic Ocean. Writing in the journal Science, geologists present evidence that this intense volcanic activity occurred at the same time ocean temperatures jumped five to 6 degrees Celsius.

Record warm summers cause extreme ice melt in Greenland
01-15-2008 · EurekAlert!
An international team of scientists, led by Dr. Edward Hanna at the University of Sheffield, has demonstrated that recent warm summers have caused the most extreme Greenland ice melting in 50 years. The new research provides further evidence of a key impact of global warming and helps scientists place recent satellite observations of Greenland's shrinking ice mass in a longer-term climatic context.

Frequency of Atlantic hurricanes doubled over last century, climate change suspected
07-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
About twice as many Atlantic hurricanes form each year on average than a century ago, according to a new statistical analysis. The study concludes that warmer sea surface temperatures and altered wind patterns associated with global climate change are fueling much of the increase.
