The planet is undergoing one of the largest changes in climate since the dinosaurs went extinct. But what might be even more troubling for humans, plants and animals is the speed of the change.

Multifold increase in heat extremes by 2040

Extremes such as the severe heat wave last year in the US or the one 2010 in Russia are likely to be seen much more often in the near future. A few decades ago, they were practically absent. Today, due to man-made climate change monthly heat extremes in summer are already observed on 5 percent of the land area. This is projected to double by 2020 and quadruple by 2040, according to a study by scientists of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM). A further increase of heat extremes in the second half of our century could be stopped if global greenhouse-gas emissions would be reduced substantially.

Heat waves, ice-storms, droughts and hurricanes, their impact on the carbon cycle

How do climate extremes affect the carbon cycle of land ecosystems? How do the resulting carbon cycle changes in turn affect the climate? These questions will be discussed during the international 'Open Science Conference on Climate Extremes and Biogeochemical Cycles in the Terrestrial Biosphere: impacts and feedbacks across scales' in Seefeld, Austria, from 2nd to 5th April 2013, hosted by the University of Innsbruck.

Climate Change Is Happening Faster Than You Think

The Daily Take, The Thom Hartmann Program: Why are scientists being conservative in their climate change projections? When going up against a well-funded, ruthlessly powerful special interest like the fossil fuel industry, they know that if they rock the boat too much, they might be targeted and discredited.
