Claim: 2°C temperature increase will make people angry
From Princeton University (with help from Berkeley) Cool heads likely won’t prevail in a hotter, wetter world Should climate change trigger the upsurge in heat and rainfall that scientists predict,…
Future shifts in rainfall
From UC Berkeley: Rising temperature difference between hemispheres could dramatically shift rainfall patterns in tropics By Robert Sanders, Media Relations BERKELEY — One often ignored consequence of global climate change…
Inconvenient conclusions in a new climate and land use paper
Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. sends word of this new paper now in early release at the Journal of Climate. The paper suggests humans have strong impacts on the local climate,…
Another hole in the climate models – no lamp black forcing
Interesting point, but I wonder how such a change would come about when people often can’t afford an alternative? Let there be clean light: Kerosene lamps spew black carbon, should…
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…
Scientists core into California's Clear Lake to explore past climate change
From the University of California – Berkeley Deep sediments are unparalleled record of biotic changes over past 200,000+ years University of California, Berkeley, scientists are drilling into ancient sediments at…
UC Berkeley study: switch to nuclear from coal in the West
From the University of California – Berkeley while China (and Slovenia if Jim Hansen will shut up) surges ahead with coal power generation, some scholars are fretting over meeting carbon…
'Cap and Trade' fails for lack of incentives
Well, duh. From the DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory New research suggests cap and trade programs do not provide sufficient incentives for innovation Cap and trade programs to reduce emissions do…
New Berkeley study on grass and global warming misses one very important issue
Caveat, no, it isn’t about “grass use” in UC Berkeley, and note the press release with the key word, “could” in the title. From the University of California – Berkeley…
Gamma ray flash was star swallowed whole by black hole
Yikes! What a way to go. One wonders if there were any planets around that star and if they may have contained life. We’ll never know. Black hole eats star,…
New independent surface temperature record in the works
Good news travels fast. I’m a bit surprised to see this get some early coverage, as the project isn’t ready yet. However since it has been announced by press, I…
First measurement of magnetic field in Earth's core
Earth’s internal dynamo generates average field in outer core 50 times that at surface A University of California, Berkeley, geophysicist has made the first-ever measurement of the strength of the…
