Arctic warming negatively affects the foraging and breeding ecology of native Arctic mammals, such as Arctic foxes or Arctic reindeer. [91] In July 2019, 200 Svalbard reindeer were found starved to death apparently due to low precipitation related to climate change. [92] This was only one episode in the long-term decline of the species.
Maximum temperature map of the United States from 1871-1888 Minimum temperature map of the United States from 1871-1888.. For the United States, the extremes are 134 °F (56.7 °C) in Death Valley, California in 1913 and −79.8 °F (−62.1 °C) recorded in Prospect Creek, Alaska in 1971.
Knowledge of precise climatic events decreases as the record goes further back in time. The timeline of glaciation covers ice ages specifically, which tend to have their own names for phases, often with different names used for different parts of the world. The names for earlier periods and events come from geology and paleontology.
Much of the United States is shivering through brutal cold as most of the rest of the world is feeling unusually warm weather. Wind chills in parts of North Dakota reached minus 70 degrees (minus ...
Old Man Winter will begin to ease his icy grip on much of the central and eastern United States in the coming days and weeks, but there will still be some periodic outbursts from the Arctic ...
NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) has reported growing numbers of weather and climate-related events costing at least a billion dollars, [1] exceeding the 1980–2019 inflation-adjusted average of 6.6 such events. [2] This list of United States natural disasters is a list of notable natural disasters that occurred in ...
The Arctic blast has broken dozens of decades-old records across the country this week. On Thursday, low temperatures in Midland, Texas, reached 14 degrees, smashing the previous record of 19 ...
Recent warming has driven many terrestrial and freshwater species poleward and towards higher altitudes. [215] For instance, the range of hundreds of North American birds has shifted northward at an average rate of 1.5 km/year over the past 55 years. [216] Higher atmospheric CO 2 levels and an extended growing season have resulted in global ...
