Recent climate-related activities in Maine:
Maine Sea Grant edited and produced the report, Maine's Climate Future: An Initial Assessment of Climate Change in Maine. http://www.climatechange.umaine.edu/mainesclimatefuture/index.html
The report was submitted to the Governor in February and has stimulated a statewide climate adaptation stakeholder planning process. Esperanza Stancioff is representing Maine in that process.
Also please note the joint Maine-Oregon Coastal Community Resilience project. Stay tuned for more info this summer about public perceptions of climate change and individual and community responses..

NOAA News Releases
Severe weather threats move into lower Great Lakes, Tennessee Valley Wednesday
Get late-breaking weather information, and your local forecast, at http://www.weather.gov.More severe weather expected from Great Lakes to Central Texas on Tuesday
Get late-breaking information from the NOAA National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center (http://www.spc.noaa.gov/).Global April temperatures were 13th highest on record; Year-to-date is eighth warmest period on record; North American snow cover was third largest
According to NOAA scientists, April 2013 was also the 37th consecutive April and 338th consecutive month (more than 28 years) with a global temperature above the 20th-century average.NASA Climate Science
Scientists find ancient microbes in Antarctic lake
In one of the most remote lakes of Antarctica, nearly 65 feet (19.8 meters) beneath the icy surface, scientists have uncovered a community of bacteria.Drygalski Ice Tongue, Antarctica

An international team of experts has produced the most comprehensive and accurate assessment to date of ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica and their contributions to sea level rise.Science Daily Climate News
Life scientists present new insights on climate change and species interactions
Life scientists provide important new details on how climate change will affect interactions between species in newly published research. This knowledge, they say, is critical to making accurate predictions and informing policymakers of how species are likely to be impacted by rising temperatures.Volcanoes cause climate gas concentrations to vary
Trace gases and aerosols are major factors influencing the climate. With the help of highly complex installations, such as MIPAS on board of the ENVISAT satellite, researchers try to better understand the processes in the upper atmosphere. Now, scientists have completed a comprehensive overview of sulfur dioxide measurements.Climate change and wildfire
Concerns continue to grow about the effects of climate change on fire. Wildfires are expected to increase 50 percent across the United States under a changing climate, over 100 percent in areas of the West by 2050 as projected by some studies. Of equal concern to scientists and policymakers alike are the atmospheric effects of wildfire emissions on climate. A new article synthesizes recent findings on the interactions between fire and climate and outlines future research needs.
