2-21-14 Forget The Local Cold: Worldwide, It Was Another Hot January
Forget The Local Cold: Worldwide, It Was Another Hot January
January will go down in the weather history books as the fourth-warmest on record. That's right.

2-18-14 Arctic thaw significantly worsens global warming risk
Arctic thaw significantly worsens global warming risk

Can Fracking Lead the Way To Clean Energy?
Hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking, is a method of extracting trapped gas and petroleum by injecting water, sand, and chemicals underground to fracture the deep rocky layers. When Harrison first learned about the destruction fracking can inflict on rural communities and the threat it poses to the water supply, she went into shock. "I didn't sleep for three nights," she recalls, "and I'm a good sleeper."

El Niño may make 2014 the hottest year on record
Hold onto your ice lollies. Long-term weather forecasts are suggesting 2014 might be the hottest year since records began. That's because climate bad-boy El Niño seems to be getting ready to spew heat into the atmosphere.

1-7-14 Geoengineering plan could have 'unintended' side effect
Geoengineering plan could have 'unintended' side effect
Attempts to reverse the impacts of global warming by injecting reflective particles into the stratosphere could make matters worse, say researchers. Rainfall around the tropics could be cut by 30% with significant impacts on rainforests in South America and Asia and increasing drought in Africa. Injecting aerosols into the stratosphere mimics the cooling effects of volcanoes. Deployment of a giant sunshield in space to reflect solar energy is another geoengineering idea.
