Was the epic 2011 heat wave in Texas due to global warming or natural variation?

Are extreme heat, wicked cyclones and record rainfalls signs of climate change, or just more changes in the weather? Will warming eliminate record cold days? Will hurricanes get bigger?

Some call it Fall. Some call it spring. But nobody in the Midwest, East Coast or Northern Europe is calling it “winter.” What’s up with our weather?

Is global warming feeding hurricanes? Global warming has already raised sea levels. Is warming also making hurricanes like Katrina more intense? Some new evidence says yes.

How do current conditions compare to past predictions of the effects of global warming? Are living on a warming planet?
