European heat waves double in length since 1880
The most accurate measures of European daily temperatures ever indicate that the length of heat waves on the continent has doubled and the frequency of extremely hot days has nearly tripled in the past century.   view more (2007-08-06)

Fast not food for a fussy fish
Most fish eat heartily during the summer in preparation for the cold and hungry winter months. But the burbot or Lota lota – a freshwater cousin of cod - does things differently, going on a summer diet when fish food is at its peak.   view more (2002-04-04)

Female katydids prefer mates 'cool' in winter and 'hot' in summer
Katydid (or didn't she?) respond to the mating call of her suitors. According to scientists at the University of Missouri, one species of katydid may owe its ecological success and expanded habitat range to the ability of male katydids to adjust their mating calls to attract females.   view more (2008-03-12)

ETH Zurich: Record summers will become more common
Last summer's European heatwave presented climate scientists with new questions, as the high temperatures were far outside the range of past observations. Research scientists at ETH Zurich and MeteoSwiss have put forward a new hypothesis to account for this observation: in addition to a general... view more (2004-01-08)

Europeans Will Adjust To Global Warming But Will Still Die Of Cold
(Heat related mortality in warm and cold regions of Europe: observational study) BMJ Volume 321, pp 670 - 673 (Editorial : Saving lives in extreme weather in summer : pp 650 ? 651) Heat related deaths start at higher temperatures in hot regions of Europe compared to cold regions, suggesting that... view more (2000-09-13)

You are less likely to survive a heart attack in winter than in summer
Almost 11,000 people who had suffered a heart attack between 1988 and 1997 were compared. Those whose attacks occurred in the winter tended to have a higher risk profile, in that they were older, more likely to be at home when the attack occurred, and less likely to be defibrillatedgiven an... view more (1999-11-25)

NASA study suggests extreme summer warming in the future
A new study by NASA scientists suggests that greenhouse-gas warming may raise average summer temperatures in the eastern United States nearly 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the 2080s.   view more (2007-05-10)

Heat dangers forgotten in the battle against air pollution
UCL scientists warn that amidst all the concerns over air pollution, the more basic health message of 'staying cool when the weather is hot' may be being forgotten.   view more (2005-10-12)

Without its insulating ice cap, Arctic surface waters warm to as much as 5 C above average
Record-breaking amounts of ice-free water have deprived the Arctic of more of its natural "sunscreen" than ever in recent summers. The effect is so pronounced that sea surface temperatures rose to 5 C above average in one place this year, a high never before observed, says the... view more (2007-12-13)

Alpine glaciers could all but disappear within this century
he European Alps could lose some 80 percent of their glacier cover by the end of this century, if summer air temperatures rise by three degrees Celsius [five degrees Fahrenheit]. And if temperatures increase by five degrees Celsius [nine degrees Fahrenheit], the Alps would become almost completely... view more (2006-07-10)

Research suggests parts of UK could be too hot for wine-making by 2080
Increasing summer temperatures could mean some parts of southern England are too hot to grow vines for making wine by 2080, according to a new book launched today (26 May 2008).   view more (2008-05-27)

Why is the North Pole frozen?
Ice has been building up in the Arctic for 2.7 million years. Until now, no-one has been able to prove what mechanism brought about this accumulation of ice. However, a team of international scientists led by Antoni Rosell, a researcher for the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at... view more (2005-02-23)

London Cold Is A Bigger Killer Than London Heat Or The Cold Of The Bulgarian Capital, Sofia
London cold turns out to be a bigger killer than London heat, and a bigger killer than the cold of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, reveals a comparison of temperature effects between the two capitals, reported in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. But ultimately, summer is good and... view more (2003-07-25)

Summer babies at greater risk of developing coeliac disease
The risk of developing coeliac disease is higher for children born in the summer compared with the winter, finds a study in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health.   view more (2002-12-13)

Fruit flies and global warming - Some like it hot
Researchers working in Australia have discovered ways in which fruit flies might react to extreme fluctuations in temperature. Short-term exposure to high heat stress (heat hardening has been known to have negative effects on Drosophila.   view more (2007-01-29)

Scientists: Polar ice clouds may be climate change symptom
As the late summer sun sets in the Arctic, bands of wispy, luminescent clouds shine against the deep blue of the northern sky.   view more (2007-08-21)

UBC study establishes formula for predicting climate change impact on salmon stocks
University of British Columbia researchers have found a way to accurately predict the impact of climate change on imperilled Pacific salmon stocks that could result in better management strategies.   view more (2008-11-13)

Arctic sea ice declines again in 2006, say University of Colorado researchers
While cool August temperatures prevented sea ice in the Arctic from reaching its lowest summer extent on record, 2006 continued a pattern of sharp annual decreases due to rising temperatures probably caused by greenhouse warming.   view more (2006-10-05)

Lands surface change on Alaska tundra creating longer, warmer summers in Arctic
A gradual lengthening of the snow-free season in Alaska's tundra, and a corresponding northward progression of the growth of shrubs and trees, may be creating a cycle of warmer and longer summers in the Alaskan Arctic.   view more (2005-09-23)

New metal alloys boost high-temperature heat treatment of jet engine components
Measurement scientists at the National Physical Laboratory have reduced the uncertainty of thermocouple temperature sensors at high temperatures to within a degree.   view more (2007-07-25)

Mountain climate change trends could predict water resources
New research into climate change in the Western Himalaya and the surrounding Karakoram and Hindu Kush mountains could explain why many glaciers there are growing and not melting.   view more (2006-08-25)

Arctic ice meltdown continues with significantly reduced winter ice cover
As far as temperatures drop in the Arctic winter - on average to -34°C (-29°F) - a new study shows that in the last two years sea ice is shrinking on the surface of Arctic waters to record low levels.   view more (2006-09-14)

Long heat waves boost hospital admissions
Summer heat waves significantly increase pressure on hospitals, according to research published in the online open access journal, BMC Public Health.   view more (2007-08-09)

Arctic sea ice continues decline as temperatures rise
New satellite records monitored by a national team of collaborators show a four-year pattern of extremely low summer sea-ice coverage in the Arctic that continued in September 2005, which may be the result of warming temperatures and earlier spring melting.   view more (2005-09-29)

Climate ‘memory’ may aid long range forecasts
Researchers at Harper Adams University College, Shropshire, believe a ‘memory’ in the climate system could be tapped to improve long-range weather forecasts. In the April edition of ‘Weather,’ the journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, an article co-written by Dr... view more (2003-03-25)
