Daily Camera: Climate change will likely add to the final snowfall totals from the monster winter storm lashing the Northeast by 5 to 10 percent, according to a leading expert on climate change at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
Kevin Trenberth, a distinguished senior scientist in the Climate Analysis Section at NCAR, said Friday that snowfall totals from the storm are being influenced by both warmer air temperatures, leading to the atmosphere retaining more moisture, and a 1-degree increase in...

Daily Camera: The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is showing nearly twice as much warming as previously thought, according to a new study co-authored by a researcher at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
The discovery, published Sunday in the journal Nature Geoscience, raises additional concerns about the degree to which Antarctica will contribute to sea level rise.
"If this melt continues, if the summer warming continues, we could begin to see increased runoff from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet later...
