Journeyman Pictures has created a little 10-minute documentary that describes the perceived disconnect between the beliefs of on-air meteorologists and climatologists. Of specific note are the comments of MIT professor Dr. Kerry Emanuel who sets up the premise of the question (and the documentary as a whole) and swings away (just after 5-minute mark): PROFESSOR…
From Stanford University News a really wild must read science discovery. h/t to Leif Svalgaard and WUWT reader “carbon-based-life-form”. The strange case of solar flares and radioactive elements When researchers found an unusual linkage between solar flares and the inner life of radioactive elements on Earth, it touched off a scientific detective investigation that could…
Max winds 75MPH, Category 1. Bulletin:
From the “we told you so time and again department”, Canadian weather data is a mess. It took an FOIA to get the “fess up” out in the open. Anybody got a copy of the EC report? So far all we have is press reports. See our WUWT report below, it isn’t just Canada that…

People send me stuff. Sometimes the Google adwords at WUWT yield interesting things, like this plea to not abandon what has already been abandoned. From the National Resources Defense Council: Tell your senators not to abandon comprehensive climate and energy legislation.
Now up to 65mph, not far from Cat 1 Hurricane category winds. Seems almost sure to be a Hurricane soon. The good news is that the path seems away from the Gulf, and it will help transport some of that Atlantic SST/heat into the upper atmosphere.
Some days I think it can’t get any crazier out there, and then I’m surprised yet again. From Dr. Loonie Lonnie Thompson, of Ohio State University:
Unlike what we’ve seen previously in climate science, where it takes years of complaints, demands, taunts, FOI’s and other assorted embarrassments to finally pry code and data out of scientists, McShane and Wyner made all their data and code available up front. That allowed R coder mind of a Markov chain to replicate portions of…
WUWT readers may recall this article and photo from earlier this year: IPCC now in Bizarroland: Pachauri releases “smutty” romance novel Click for more photos from his book release. Well at least one person bought his book Return to Almora, and has, ahem, given an interesting review of it. Here’s an excerpt:
