Climate models used in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) on the whole reproduce the observed seasonal cycle and twentieth century warming trend of 0.8°C (1.5°F) in the Pacific Northwest, and point to much greater warming for the next...
Generally speaking, those who are mostcautiousabout geo-engineering are the scientists involved in the research.Angel says that his plan is ‘nosubstitutefor developing renewable energy: the onlypermanentsolution’.And Dr Phil Rasch of the US-basedPacificNorthwest National Laboratory is equally guarded ...
Ecological status of 32.44% surface ocean will change due to climate change in 2100, assuming no policy intervention. Zhenyan Zhang , Qi Zhang & Haifeng Qian Article 30 May 2024 | Open Access Heatwave attribution based on reliable operational weather forecasts The 2021 Pacific Northwest ...
Perhaps most surprising, though, is that such an extreme event, even in our current heated climate, should only happen once every 1,000 years. This means either the Pacific Northwest heat wave was incredibly bad luck, or science still hasn't grasped the extent to which climate change is imp...
Climate Lab is a Seattle Times initiative that explores the effects of climate change in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. The project illuminates the impacts of heat waves, drought, wildfire and flooding, and examines government and industry actions, to help the public better understand how ...
By June 23rd, 2021, it became evident this wasn't just any run-of-the-mill heat wave, which would still be a dangerous predicament for the Pacific Northwest; it’s an area that’s scant with accessible air conditioning. T...
Future changes in sediment load are more complex, especially in the Pacific Northwest, where glacial legacy may at times overshadow recent fluvial activity [41]. The large amount of sediment derived from glacial sources, however, makes the Skeena susceptible to climate change. All our model simulat...

We find that modest climate change has a profound impact on the performance of the U.S. Pacific Northwest power system in the year 2035. Assuming existing infrastructure expansion policy, the loss of load probability is at least doubled—meaning twice the probability of incurring shortfall in any...
