2013 SkS Weekly Digest #30

Quote of the Week

The head of the research, Dr David Lavers, from the department of meteorology at the University of Reading, said: "ARs (atmospheric rivers) could become stronger in terms of their moisture transport. In a warming world, atmospheric water vapour content is expected to rise due to an increase in saturation water vapour pressure with air temperature. This is likely to result in increased water vapour transport.

"The link between ARs and flooding is already well established, so an increase in AR frequency is likely to lead to an increased number of heavy winter rainfall events and floods. More intense ARs are likely to lead to higher rainfall totals, and thus larger flood events."

Worse floods ahead for UK as climate warms, say scientists by Paul Brown, for Climate News Network, The Guardian, July 24, 2013

SkS Week in Review

SkS Rebuttal Articles Created

Why doesn’t the temperature rise at the same rate that CO2 increases? by gpwayne is a new "basic" level rebuttal of the contrarion argument, "There's no correlation betweenCO2 and temperature."

Likewise, How do we know more CO2 is causing warming? by gpwayne is a new "basic" level rebuttal of the contrarion argument, "Increasing CO2 has little to no effect."

SkS in the News

The Consensus Project and 97% consensus result were discussed at Wotts Up With That blog, Climate Progress, Doug Craig's blog at Redding.com, the Yale Law School Cultural Cognition Project, and various climate contrarian blogs.  

Fiona Harvey used The Escalator in an article for The Guardian.

SkS was also referenced by Seattle Pi to show that global warming hasn't stopped.
