Dana's Will extreme weather like super typhoon Haiyan become the new norm? caused the most buzz of the articles posted this past week. The comment thread contains a wealth of scientific information related to the post. Both are well worh reading.

Christiana Figueres, the UN's leading climate official, said: "We have seen essential progress. But let us again be clear that we are witnessing ever more frequent, extreme weather events, and the poor and vulnerable are already paying the price. Now governments, and especially developed nations, must go back to do their homework so they can put their plans on the table ahead of the Paris conference."

Cowtan and Way (2013) continues to be cited and discussed in many media and blog articles throughout the world. A sample will be documented in an upcoming (second) SkS News Bulletin.
In his Real Sceptic blog post, Responding to Criticism, Colin Maessen responds to criticism leveled at him by a climate denier over Maessen's blog post, The 97% Climate Science Consensus Reality which addresses a crtiique of the TCP posted on denier website.
Cowtan and Way (2013) is cited by Chris Hulne In his Comment is Free (The Guradian) blog post, Typhoon Haiyan must spur us on to slow climate change.
In his Climate Denial Crock of the Week blog post, What Does the Science Say about Cyclone Intensity?, Peter Sinclair extensively quotes from Dana's Climate Consensus-the 97% blog article, Will extreme weather like super typhoon Haiyan become the new norm? posted on The Guardian and reposted on SkS.
Graham Wayne uses a quote from Dana's Will extreme weather like super typhoon Haiyan become the new norm? as a springboard for his commentary on the need for prudence when evaluating how best to tackle climate change. Waynes' article, Climate change and Haiyan: body bags don’t stop the ghoulish arguments is posted on his blog, Small Epiphanies.
The Purdue Climate Change Research Center (PCCRC) was established in April 2004 to serve as a crucible for interdisciplinary research on climate change and its ecological, social, economic, and political impacts. The PCCRC is built on a foundation of scientific excellence, interdisciplinary perspective, and the momentum generated by a new, multi-departmental faculty hiring plan. We invite you to learn more about PCCRC activities, explore potential collaborations, and help us identify new ways to enhance the realization of our goal of excellence in climate change discovery, learning, and engagement.
Mission & Goals
The PCCRC mission is to increase scientific and public understanding of the causes and impacts of climate change through fundamental research and effective education and outreach. Our overarching goals are to understand the causes and consequences of climate change, improve predictive models to project future climate conditions, and inform on-going state, national and international policy discussions on climate change, including mitigation and adaptation strategies. Distinguishing Features.
Our work is characterized by several distinguishing features:
