    HOUSTON - More than 3,000 national and state guard troops are being
    deployed to assist with relief and recovery efforts as the nation's
    fourth-largest city and surrounding areas try to cope with the
    aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, which has transformed into a disaster
    of historic proportions. President Trump plans to travel to Texas on
    Tuesday.<br>
    Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said in a news conference that the perpetual
    rain and dire flash flooding has produced the strongest storm the
    state has seen in at least 50 years. He could not confirm death
    totals nor the number of evacuations, but the National Weather
    Service has said there have been reports of as many as five deaths.
    The service issued a statement that the storm was "catastrophic" and
    "beyond anything experienced."<br>
    More than 82,000 homes were without electricity, and local news
    stations reported that Ben Taub Hospital, one of two trauma centers
    in the city, would soon have to evacuate.<br>
    Mayor Sylvester Turner said in a news conference...that it would
    have been a "nightmare" to empty out the population of his city and
    the county all at once.<br>
    "You literally cannot put 6.5 million people on the road," Turner
    said.<br>

      Harvey slammed into the Texas coast this weekend, growing from a
      regenerated tropical depression into a Category 4 hurricane over
      less than 60 hours. The now-tropical storm has stalled inland over
      Texas, and the entire Houston metropolitan region is now flooding.
      With interstates under feet of water, and most of the streams and
      rivers near the city in flood stage, local authorities have asked
      boat owners to join rescue efforts. At least five people have
      died, and the city is prepping for thousands of evacuees this
      week. Officials predict 50 more inches of rain could be dumped on
      the area this week. “It may have been a strong storm, and it may

        Climate Change Intensify Hurricane Harvey?</a></b><br>
    "The human contribution can be up to 30 percent or so up to the
    total rainfall coming out of the storm."<br>
    Storms like Harvey are helped by one of the consequences of climate
    change: As the air warms, some of that heat is absorbed by the
    ocean, which in turn raises the temperature of the sea's upper
    layers.<br>
    Harvey benefitted from unusually toasty waters in the Gulf of
    Mexico. As the storm roared toward Houston last week, sea-surface
    waters near Texas rose to between 2.7 and 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit
    above average. These waters were some of the hottest spots of ocean
    surface in the world. The tropical storm, feeding off this unusual
    warmth, was able to progress from a tropical depression to a
    category-four hurricane in roughly 48 hours.<br>
    Yet even compared to recent storms, Harvey is unprecedented-just the
    kind of weird weather that scientists expect to see more of as the
    planet warms. Harvey has already dumped more water on Harris County
    than Tropical Storm Allison, the area's previous worst-ever flooding
    disaster in 2001, though it has only lasted half the time of that
    earlier storm.<br>
    And it will keep raining. As of Sunday afternoon, Buffalo Bayou, a
    major river near downtown Houston, is one foot above flood stage. It
    is projected to rise as much as another 12 feet today alone.<br>

        farmers convinced scientists to take climate change seriously</a></b><br>
    <i>Justin McBrien is a PhD candidate in history at the University of
      Virginia.</i><br>
    Rural Americans once led the fight to link extreme weather like
    Hurricane Harvey and human activity. What changed?<br>
    Scientists have long struggled to understand the complex
    relationship between extreme weather, climate change and human
    activity. But in the 1950s, rural communities across the country
    demanded they do just that.<br>
    Their concern, however, was not the impact of greenhouse gas
    emissions. It was the effects of atmospheric testing of atomic
    weapons. Over the course of the 1950s, thousands of letters deluged
    government offices accusing them of ignoring the possibility of
    "atom weather." Worried citizens feared the explosions were
    triggering torrential rains and hailstorms, intensifying hurricanes
    and tornados, prolonging one of the worst droughts in American
    history, even altering the earth's radiation balance and changing
    the global climate.<br>
    What effects the bomb may have had on the weather remained a
    mystery. When atmospheric nuclear weapons testing ended in 1963, so
    too did public fixation on anthropogenic extreme weather.<br>
    Just when the public forgot about the issue, the very scientists who
    had previously denied its possibility became obsessed with it. By
    the end of the decade, these scientists were writing articles about
    "inadvertent weather and climate modification" by industrial
    pollutants like greenhouse gases, CFCs and aerosols.<br>
    In the late 1970s, a scientific consensus emerged that Americans
    were on the "brink of a pronounced global warming" due to their use
    of fossil fuels. These conclusions could not have come at a worse
    time for those who hoped to address the problem. The country was
    reeling from stagflation, oil shocks, rapid de-industrialization and
    several deep recessions. An economy of scarcity allowed politicians
    to argue that the choice between jobs and the environment was a
    zero-sum game.<br>
    The farce of climate denial is also its tragedy. It is particularly
    tragic that people who had once warned the world of the potential
    catastrophic effects of human influence on the atmosphere are now
    the ones helping to ensure the actual catastrophic results of this
    influence continue unabated.<br>
    While no individual weather event, including Harvey, can be directly
    attributed to climate change, models are now capable of showing how
    climate change can exacerbate storm surges.  Instead of picking
    apart every individual event, we should remember how the science of
    anthropogenic climate change been refined over a half-century of
    research and debate, and that, if anything, scientists have long
    been far too conservative in their predictions and timelines.<br>

    B. Horton:    Well, I think the most important conclusion of that is
    that two independent measurements of global atmosphere and ocean
    temperatures come out with the same conclusion: that the July
    temperatures in 2017 were anomalous. They were well above the
    long-term average of the twentieth century. So slight discrepancies
    between them being the warmest, or tied second warmest are
    irrelevant, really. I think the important thing for your listeners
    is that we've got two independent measurements, and they use similar
    data sets, but they use different statistical analysis. And they
    come out of the same conclusion, that July 2017 was approximately
    around 1.5°F greater than the twentieth century average, with the
    warmest July occurring in 2016.<br>
    And it's part of a trend. Nine of the ten warmest July's occurred in
    the 20 first century. The only exception is a very, very warm year
    in 1998. And then you can start to think even more, and these
    numbers are astounding, in July 2017 marked the 41st consecutive
    July temperature that was larger than the global average, and the
    391st month with global temperatures above the twentieth century
    average. So we're just building a body of data that's irrefutable
    that our climate is changing.<br>

    almost two inches per decade. In the coming decades, storms are
    likely to become more severe, deserts may expand, and summers are

        climate change warms the Northeast, some snowshoe hares stay
        brown all year</a></b><b><br>
    </b>Snowshoe hares have adapted to warmer winters - but it's unclear
    if they can change as fast the climate<br>
    he quintessential image of a snowshoe hare (<i>Lepus americanus</i>)
    is a pure white bunny - although it is a hare, not a rabbit– nestled
    in powdery snow, gazing out from under the overhanging branches of a
    balsam fir. I can almost see my breath and hear sleigh bells just
    thinking about it.<br>
    But in Pennsylvania, powdery snow has a short life expectancy during
    our winters' freeze-thaw cycles. In southern Pennsylvania, it's not
    unusual for snowstorms to turn completely to rain, and it can happen
    almost anywhere in the state. As a result, in much of Pennsylvania
    it's rare to sustain complete snow cover throughout winter, and will
    become rarer as climate change results in warmer temperatures across
    the state.<br>
    In northern climates, hares select habitats that provide both hiding
    cover from predators and protection from cold temperatures. However,
    in Pennsylvania we found that snowshoe hares' resting spots were not
    any warmer than locations we chose at random. It appears that for
    our hares, winter temperatures aren't much of a concern.<br>
    Reinforcing that fact, we also found that Pennsylvania snowshoe
    hares produce relatively light-duty fur coats. The downy hairs of
    their underfur were 58 percent less dense than those of their
    northern counterparts, while their guard hairs (long hairs that
    protect the insulating underfur) were 32 percent less dense and 20
    percent shorter. Our temperature sensors indicated that Pennsylvania
    hares produced less body heat than hares from the Yukon, which
    suggests that they have slower metabolisms.<br>
