Since Kevin Trenberth and Aiguo Dai of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado have tryed to show that a “sulphur sunshade” could have a deleterious effect on the environment by reducing rainfall, we are on the same facts about that unusual climate this summer in Europe. These global climate anomalies can be found at the unusual rainy summer season at western Europe, or that unusual dry and hot one for some of the Balkan peninsula lands. quite the same with that breaking hot global climate topic for the floods in Nepal.This small mountain kingdom has a low-lying region called Terai, and much of it has been submerged in the past week following more intense rains during the south Asian monsoon. Scientists have long said that global warming is bound to interfere with snow and rainfall patterns, because air and sea temperatures and sea-level atmospheric pressure - the underlying forces behind these patterns - are already changing. Over the 75-year period under study, global warming “contributed significantly” to increases in precipitation in the northern hemisphere’s mid-latitudes, a region between 40 and 70 degrees north- says Francis Zwiers, a scientists with Environment Canada, Toronto.A monsoon dropped 14 inches of rain in one day across many parts of South Asia this august. Does these temperature records will be repeatedly shattered over the next few years?!? That sulphur sunshades are inspired by the climatic effects of large volcanic eruptions for some, others believe that these pumping sulphur particles into the atmosphere would reproduce the cooling effect of a large eruption. Following the eruption there was a marked decrease in rainfall and run-off (Geophysical Research Letters, DOI: 10.1029/2007GL030524).
At the end, let me finish with few words from the UN climate change conference, that extended extra today: “We now have the momentum,” General Assembly President Sheikha Haya Rashed Al Khalifa told delegates at the closing session. “What we do with this is more important. We need to ensure that we agree an equitable, fair and ambitious global deal to match the scale of the challenges ahead.”

Hey guys, does anyboday cares at all abot’the ecological consequences of large-scale fertilization of the ocean.” ?
George, Planktos’ CEO, said his company consulted with governments around the world and is only following previous scientific research. He said his firm will be dropping the iron in open international seas so he needs no permits. Most important, he said, is that it’s such a small amount of iron compared to the ocean volume that it poses no threat.
He said it’s unfair to lump his plan in with geoengineering, saying his company is just trying to restore the ocean to ”a more ecologically normal and balanced state.”
But who cares..

I am a regular reader of your article. And I am very impress with your blog upon Global Warming. Now I am also write a blog upon effects and causes of Global Warming. This blog is collection of news & reviews like the study found that global warming since 1985 has been caused neither by an increase in solar radiation nor by a decrease in the flux of galactic cosmic rays. Some researchers had also suggested that the latter might influence global warming because the rays trigger cloud formation.

Michael Storey at Roskilde University in Denmark and colleagues have found evidence that a huge volcanic eruption, 55 million years ago, unleashed so much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere that world temperatures rose by as much as 8°C – with the Arctic ocean reaching a toasty 25°C.

anyone interested that nostradamus predicted century 1(17) then century 2(65) forty years of floods and drought(el nino / la nina on a global scale) in the same forty year period 2004—-2044 this will lead to volcanic eruption in 2044 amercia (montana) and itlay (mortara)
when scientists look at ice core samples they say that there was an eruption in time here here and here what they fail to do is look for the evidence that leads up to these eruptions looking for extreme el nino / la nina events volcanoes don’t just erupt the conditions or signs must be evident
