Robust increases in severe thunderstorm environments in response to greenhouse forcing
TL;DR: The fact that the projected increases in severe environments are robust across a suite of climate models, emerge in response to relatively moderate global warming, and result from robust physical changes suggests that continued increases in greenhouse forcing are likely to increase severe thunderstorm occurrence, thereby increasing the risk of thunderstorm-related damage.

TL;DR: In this paper, 19 analyses by 18 different research groups, often using quite different methodologies, of 12 extreme events that occurred in 2012 are presented, and the differences also provide insights into the structural uncertainty of event attribution, the uncertainty that arises directly from the differences in analysis methodology.
Observational and model evidence of global emergence of permanent, unprecedented heat in the 20th and 21st centuries
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in fact tropical areas exhibit the most immediate and robust emergence of unprecedented heat, with many tropical areas exhibiting a 50% likelihood of permanently moving into a novel seasonal heat regime in the next two decades.
Response of snow-dependent hydrologic extremes to continued global warming
TL;DR: It is found that the CMIP5 global climate model ensemble exhibits an imminent shift towards low snow years in the northern hemisphere, with areas of western North America, northeastern Europe, and the Greater Himalaya showing the strongest emergence during the near-term decades and at 2°C global warming.
Response of corn markets to climate volatility under alternative energy futures

TL;DR: It is shown that US corn price volatility exhibits higher sensitivity to near-term climate change than to energy policy influences or agriculture-energy market integration, and that the presence of a biofuels mandate enhances the sensitivity to climate change by more than 50%.
