| CO2 Not to Blame for Southwest Droughts? - Sat, 19 May 2012 03:33:57 +0000 |
| In our last WCR, we discussed a series of articles that found that higher resolution climate models—models which include a better representation of the complex terrain features of the Southwest—produce less drought stress on the Southwestern U.S. in their projections of future climate change from greenhouse gas emissions than do coarser resolution general circulation models.

| Future Southwest Drought in Doubt? - Mon, 14 May 2012 23:27:54 +0000 |
| One of the most “robust” signals from global climate models run under scenarios of increasing human greenhouse gas emissions is an even drier climate in the Southwestern U.S. than exists there currently.The 2009 report “Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States” from the U.S. Global Change Research Program (a report which the EPA relied [...] |

| No sea level rise catastrophe? - Wed, 09 May 2012 16:55:33 +0000 |
| As one of the central tenets of climate change catastrophe involves inundation by rapidly rising seas, we like to visit the issue from time to time here at World Climate Report. Interestingly, or perhaps some may prefer predictably, we usually are able to uncover plenty of science that indicates that the situation is not nearly [...] |
