Global warming doubles risk of once-a-century floods: Study
South Florida may be “indefensible” against floods caused by higher seas and the bigger storm surges that are expected to result, said Ben Strauss, an expert on ecology and evolutionary biology who is chief operating officer of Climate Central. He co-authored the two journal reports and the online report...In California, some places that have never seen severe floods could be vulnerable to them in the next decade or two, Strauss said.

Tracking Killing Frosts in Spring and Fall
One of the indicators that we are living in a cooling world will be late spring killing frosts in June, according to an insightful fellow blogger. I have been looking for an easy way to track and display this information. So far, I have captured this information for Ohio towns across the state. There has been no killing frosts in June at any of these towns in modern history.
On Tuesday, 28 February, Mr. David Archibald - an Australian-based climate scientist and oil exploration expert - delivered a two-part guest presentation at the Institute entitled "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." The four horsemen, i.e. great challenges the world will soon have to face, are: a decreasing extraction of oil, causing growing prices of energy and, by extension, food; Pakistan's nuclear weapons program, which threatens proliferation and, perhaps, even a nuclear war in the region; rapid population growth in the Middle East and North Africa coupled with higher food imports in those regions, which spells mass starvation; and a 210-year climate cooling cycle.
