Members of the NCEAS working group studying environmental factors contributing to tree mortality expect this number to increase with climate change.

The result is increased evaporation that mimics features similar to those of a warm sea surface. In such cases, Tropical Cyclones can intensify over land due to the effect of the extra moisture bleed-off. And it is these conditions that atmospheric scientists are warning now predominate over Texas:<br /><br /> “All the things a hurricane likes over the ocean is what we have over land right now,” said Marshall Shepherd, director of atmospheric sciences at the University of Georgia and one of the leads of a NASA-funded Brown Ocean study.<br /><br />Tom<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-3808520633078292782015-06-16T15:41:58.203-05:002015-06-16T15:41:58.203-05:00Thousands of tiny red crabs continue to wash up on...Thousands of tiny red crabs continue to wash up on California beaches<br />http://www.sott.net/article/297861-Thousands-of-tiny-red-crabs-continue-to-wash-up-on-California-beaches<br /><br />6.0 magnitude earthquake strikes off East Indonesia; no tsunami warning issued<br />http://www.sott.net/article/297859-6-0-magnitude-earthquake-strikes-off-East-Indonesia-no-tsunami-warning-issued<br /><br />Washington's Puget Sound skies dotted with 'fire rainbows'<br />http://www.sott.net/article/297857-Washingtons-Puget-Sound-skies-dotted-with-fire-rainbows<br /><br />[cool!]<br /><br />Phoenix family dog attacks 4-year-old girl; dad kills it and gets arrested<br />http://www.sott.net/article/297856-Phoenix-family-dog-attacks-4-year-old-girl-dad-kills-it-and-gets-arrested<br /><br />North Korea hit by worst drought in a century compounding chronic food shortages<br />http://www.sott.net/article/297849-North-Korea-hit-by-worst-drought-in-a-century-compounding-chronic-food-shortages<br /><br />Flash flood watches in effect for central Texas and Houston as Tropical storm heads toward coast<br />http://www.sott.net/article/297848-Flash-flood-watches-in-effect-for-central-Texas-and-Houston-as-Tropical-storm-heads-toward-coast<br /><br />Small eruption at Mount Asama near Tokyo<br />http://www.sott.net/article/297846-Small-eruption-at-Mount-Asama-near-Tokyo<br /><br />House-shaking mammoth bang baffles Auckland residents (again)<br />http://www.sott.net/article/297854-House-shaking-mammoth-bang-baffles-Auckland-residents-again<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-48550959963808037562015-06-16T11:35:44.054-05:002015-06-16T11:35:44.054-05:00Turtle falls from the sky during hailstorm in Chin...Turtle falls from the sky during hailstorm in China <br />http://www.sott.net/article/297842-Turtle-falls-from-the-sky-during-hailstorm-in-China<br /><br />[and then people wonder why climate change causes food shortages]<br /><br />Hailstorms cause substantial damage to Spanish growers<br />http://www.sott.net/article/297839-Hailstorms-cause-substantial-damage-to-Spanish-growers<br /><br />To the impact of this hailstorm we must add that of the recent heatwave in the Region, which will result in a significant decline in production volumes for the next citrus season. <br /><br />Man on boat killed by lightning strike at Beaver Lake, Arkansas <br />http://www.sott.net/article/297835-Man-on-boat-killed-by-lightning-strike-at-Beaver-Lake-Arkansas<br /><br />Update: Alaska wildfire destroys 45 homes, menaces highway <br />http://www.sott.net/article/297833-Update-Alaska-wildfire-destroys-45-homes-menaces-highway<br /><br />[nyaaah-aaaah!]<br /><br />German scientist: 'Electronic smog is disrupting nature on a massive scale' <br />http://www.sott.net/article/297845-German-scientist-Electronic-smog-is-disrupting-nature-on-a-massive-scale<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-86709893254960016992015-06-16T08:30:17.806-05:002015-06-16T08:30:17.806-05:00i meant to add a few stories:
