Arctic sea ice melt to exacerbate California droughts: study Posted: 05 Dec 2017 02:03 AM PST By Timothy Gardner WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Melting Arctic sea ice could render sun-soaked California vulnerable to a recurrence of the severe drought suffered in recent years as it is likely to cause high pressure systems that push away rain-bearing storms, a study released on Tuesday said. As temperatures rise, the Arctic Ocean is expected to become ice-free within two or three decades, resulting in more of the sun's heat being stored in the Arctic Ocean, leading to atmospheric circulation changes and cloud formations in the tropical Pacific that move north. "This has the potential to make a drought very similar to the one we had in 2012 to 2016," said Ivana Cvijanovic, an atmospheric scientist at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

U.S. defense chief urges Pakistan to redouble efforts against militants Posted: 04 Dec 2017 01:28 PM PST By Idrees Ali ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis met Pakistan's civilian and military leaders on Monday and urged them to "redouble" their efforts to rein in militants accused of using the country as a base to carry out attacks in neighboring Afghanistan. Mattis, on a one-day visit to Pakistan, said the South Asian nation had made progress in the fight against militancy inside its borders but needed to make more.
