Warmer Winters Linked to Greenhouse Gases, Study Says
Climate researchers from NASA Goddard and Columbia University report in Nature that rising greenhouse gas emissions may spin polar winds, pulling warmer ocean air over northern lands. They note global temperatures up 0.5 to 1.2 degrees Fahrenheit in the last century, with much larger gains in northern Eurasia, Canada, and Alaska over 35 years, suggesting decades of wetter winters and more storms in Western Europe, Eurasia, and North America.

Drought grips farmers in southern Maryland and Eastern Shore
Maryland farmers face delays and losses as drought stalls soybeans and stunts corn. Officials report below normal May rainfall across all counties, with the driest in Queen Annes Kent Talbot Caroline Dorchester St Marys Calvert and Howard. Some counties impose water restrictions while farmers prognosticate continued hardship and potential disaster if rain does not arrive soon. Prices and profits decline as yields shrink, threatening federal aid thresholds after last years losses.
