Re: [DK GreenRoots] Paper to be published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
This is a different group. A number of groups are starting to find reasons -- particularly based on atmospheric dynamics -- that appear to like climate change to a number of extreme weather events.
One instance of this is the link between warming the atmosphere and the size of atmospheric rivers. FOW posted a great diary on this topic some time ago (I don't have the link handy, but I could produce it later today if you can't find it.) Atmospheric rivers appear to be associated with freak precipitation events like California saw earlier this year.
The paper I cited here speaks to the cycles of warm and cold -- warm air sweeping up from the equator and cool air being swept down to the equator if you're in the northern hemisphere, and vice versa for the southern -- getting perturbed (constipated would be a better word if we were allowed such metaphors)...
Cheers, Robin

Kerry Emmanuel said a few weeks ago as an aside at an event at MIT that his research has shown that climate change has had an effect on hurricane numbers and severity.

But it looks very much like changes to atmospheric currents, etc., contribute directly to extreme weather events. This group isn't the only one that thinks so. Anyway, it's a connection that is emerging in among climate scientists.
