Using a climate model to map global atmospheric conductivity
From the University of Colorado at Boulder CU-Boulder researchers use climate model to better understand electricity in the air Electrical currents born from thunderstorms are able to flow through the…
Another uncertainty for climate models – different results on different computers using the same code
New peer reviewed paper finds the same global forecast model produces different results when run on different computers Did you ever wonder how spaghetti like this is produced and why…
Quote of the week – Nature on the failure of climate models
From the world of Claimatology™, comes this smackdown from Nature.
Claim: Faint Young Sun Paradox solved
From the University of Colorado at Boulder a claim that computer modeling has solved the problem, with an atmosphere that is 20,000 parts per million of CO2 and 1,000 ppm…
NCAR says targeting specific pollutants would slow SLR
From the National Center for Atmospheric Research/University Corporation for Atmospheric Research I can see the EPA jumping all over this one. Black carbon is likely a contributor, as it changes…
Waste heat – a bigger climate effect than once thought
Dr. Roy Spencer recently opined about this issue (which is different from UHI) in: Waste Heat as a Contributor to Observed Warming If we divide that by the surface area of…
NASA on the sun: '…tiny variations can have a significant effect on terrestrial climate."
Researchers have considered the possibility that the sun plays a role in global warming. From NASA GSFC: Solar Variability and Terrestrial Climate In the galactic scheme of things, the Sun…
Flu forecasts using weather, not climate
Flu outbreaks predicted with weather forecast techniques BOULDER—Scientists at Columbia University and the National Center for Atmospheric Research have adapted techniques used in modern weather prediction to generate local forecasts…
Trenberth dials up the warming predictions
From NCAR: Future warming likely to be on high side of climate projections, analysis finds November 08, 2012 BOULDER—Climate model projections showing a greater rise in global temperature are likely…
Climate not a significant factor in East African conflicts
From the University of Colorado at Boulder, another overhyped climate meme has been put to rest by a new study that made some obvious findings about temperature and rainfall as…
Wyoming experiences that "giant sucking sound" as new coal fired climate supercomputer is turned on
Did your lights dim yesterday? It might have been Trenberth’s “travesty calculator”. Readers may recall when I covered the announcement of the building of this new supercomputer: NCAR’s dirty little secret…
Will a new 'Weather Commission' be a benefit or a travesty?
This smells like Trenberth’s doings at the behest of Al Gore and his “Dirty Weather” Campaign. If so, then I’m against it, because all this will do is create another…
Looking into solar coronal prominence cavities
by Karen C. Fox NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD › View larger Scientists want to understand what causes giant explosions in the sun’s atmosphere, the corona, such as…
Tisdales' Blog Memo to Kevin Trenberth at NCAR
Guest post by Bob Tisdale Date: September 20, 2012 Subject: Trenberth and Fasullo (2012) paper “Climate extremes and climate change: The Russian heat wave and other climate extremes of 2010”…
Ship sprayed seawater cloud making V2.0
Willis covered this before on WUWT, with Every Silver Lining Has A Cloud. Its baaaack. Figure 1. Artist’s conception of cloud-making ships. Of course, the first storm would flip this over…
'What global warming really looks like' – Michael Oppenheimer FAIL
Well, I warned everybody yesterday. That briefing was put together by Climate Nexus, an advocacy and communications group. An accompanying report on heat waves and climate change was released simultaneously…
'We don’t believe the ice cores can be interpreted purely as a signal of temperature'
From the University of Wisconsin: Greenland ice may exaggerate magnitude of 13,000-year-old deep freeze by Chris Barncard Ice samples pulled from nearly a mile below the surface of Greenland glaciers…
Dear Woods Hole and NCAR, maybe you missed this trend in Antarctic sea ice?
More modeling madness projecting the future, but the actual data for the past 30 years says otherwise, with a positive trend. Regular commenter Julienne Stroeve of NSIDC is one of…
H2O 2012 conference theme: "please send money"
From Stanford University , this press release with a “who the heck cares?” question as a title. We have far bigger problems in California to worry about. It is another…
Trenberth takes on UAH satellite data in a new paper
They create an adjustment for the way the Alabama scientists handled data from NOAA-9, a satellite that collected temperature data in the mid-1980s. From the University of Washington comes this…
A view of climate "on the ground" from a reporter who was there at the beginning
Elevated from a comment Theodore White says: March 8, 2012 at 5:04 pm Let’s clarify a few things on another of Anthony’s excellent posts, like this one ‘Hey Hansen! Where’s…
Your tax dollars at work: an NCAR cartoon on steroid use in baseball and compared to climate change
From the video description: AtmosNews takes a lighthearted look at an unexpected analogy, explaining why some people call carbon dioxide (and the other greenhouse gases) the steroids of the climate…
New paper speculates on volcanoes during the Little Ice Age
From NCAR/UCAR, they’re still trying to stamp out solar influence as a potential cause of the Little Ice Age. One of the things I wonder about is that during low…
