Meanwhile western states, notably drought-stricken California, saw record warmth…”I think it proposes a new mechanism, but there is still a long way to prove the argument,” says climate scientist Qiuhong Tang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Bejing…Tang and some other scientists, notably Jennifer Francis of Rutgers University, have argued that the warming Arctic and shrinking sea ice have diminished the north-south temperature contrast that drives the jet stream, robbing it of the energy that normally keeps it tightly routed around the Poles.

Many scientists have blamed global warming for more intense recent hurricane seasons and for the more destructive storms that are predicted in years to come, but a new study says climate change could eventually help safeguard the U.S. Atlantic Coast fr…
