Study: Global warming brings extreme changes to California

SACRAMENTO ? Global warming will cause a dramatic increase in extreme
summer heat and a depleted winter snow pack that will have severe
effects on California's water and power supplies, 19 U.S. scientists
reported Monday in a prestigious scientific journal.

Here's the article. It's open access.

[Links to the full text are on this page]

Here are the authors:

Katharine Hayhoe, Daniel Cayan, Christopher B. Field, Peter C.
Frumhoff, Edwin P. Maurer, Norman L. Miller, Susanne C. Moser, Stephen
H. Schneider, Kimberly Nicholas Cahill, Elsa E. Cleland, Larry Dale,
Ray Drapek, R. Michael Hanemann, Laurence S. Kalkstein, James Lenihan,
Claire K. Lunch, Ronald P. Neilson, Scott C. Sheridan, and Julia H.
Verville

(Out of this list, I've corresponded with Kalkstein. He does quality
work.)


I was the primary provider of PCM data for this work. I know Hayhoe pretty
well, and I saw a preliminary version of this as a seminar she have here.
Quite impressive.
