As the world warms, the United States will face more severe thunderstorms with deadly lightning, damaging hail and the potential for tornadoes, a trailblazing study by NASA scientists suggests.

Oddball weather is the norm in 2007. As the year draws to a close, it's shaping up to be the hottest year on record in the Northern Hemisphere. Most alarming to climate scientists, the Arctic, which serves as the world's refrigerator, dramatically warmed in 2007, shattering records for the amount of melting ice.

This year is set to be the sixth warmest  worldwide since records began, stoked by global warming linked  to human activities, the British Meteorological Office and the  University of East Anglia said on Thursday.

Politicians in the nation's capital have been reluctant to set limits on the carbon dioxide pollution that is expected to warm the planet by 4 to 7 degrees Fahrenheit during the next century, citing uncertainty about the severity of the threat. But that uncertainty may have shrunk somewhat with the release last week of two scientific reports suggesting that global warming is not just a hypothetical possibility, but a real phenomenon that has already started transforming especially sensitive parts of the globe.

2006 is set to be the world's  sixth-warmest year since records began 150 years ago, the World  Meteorological Organization said on Thursday, offering more  evidence of a trend most scientists blame on greenhouse gases.

The European Union's goal of keeping the global temperature rise to 2 degrees Centigrade is unlikely to be met, a leading climate researcher has warned.  Professor Martin Parry, who co-chairs the impacts working group of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), said that millions, if not tens of millions, would be at increased risk to their lives from a rise above 2 degrees Centigrade (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit). Parts of Africa would see water shortages, as would Asian and South American zones fed by mountain glacier melt. Crop yields would decline across the tropics; Europe would see an increase in heat waves, he said.

Hurricanes feed on warm water, and a  study released on Monday shows a link between warmer ocean  temperatures and human use of fossil fuels, challenging  skeptics who blame them on natural climate cycles.

SCORCHING summers, hotter than that of 2003, could become more common in Europe by the middle of this century. The risk has more than doubled because of human activity producing increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

This year is on track to be the second warmest since records began in the 1860s and floods in Pakistan or a heatwave in Greece may herald worse disruptions in store from global warming, experts said on Friday.

The recent run of hurricanes hitting the Atlantic Ocean has been helped by warmer waters, which some scientists attribute to global warming. That means get ready for more storms. By Stephen Leahy.

The heatwave which killed thousands in Europe in 2003 could soon seem cool, UK climate scientists say.

The rate at which global warming gases are accumulating in the atmosphere has taken a sharp leap upwards, leading to fears that the devastating effects of climate change may hit the world sooner than predicted.

Experts warn a deadly heatwave in the UK could be imminent - but global warming may mean fewer temperature-related deaths.
