What the 'year of living dangerously' at nearly 400 ppm of CO2 in Earth's atmosphere looks like
Those that want to make today’s weather seem like the “worst ever” often make ludicrous claims trying to link weather to high CO2 levels. For example, that extra CO2 gives…

Quote of the Week – 'high school' climate science
A poll follows, a first for QOTW. Sometimes in the climate wars when things get ridiculous and emotional we often ask or see asked “what is this, high school”? A…
Earth's self regulation of Carbon Dioxide is remarkably stable
From CSIRO: “What we learned is that in spite of droughts, floods, volcano eruptions, El Niño and other events, the Earth system has been remarkably consistent in regulating the inter-annual…
Another benefit of increased CO2 – trees use water more efficiently

Deserts 'greening' from rising CO2
From CSIRO and “increased CO2 has benefits” department: Increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) have helped boost green foliage across the world’s arid regions over the past 30 years through…
The bombtest curve and its implications for atmospheric carbon dioxide residency time
Studies of Carbon 14 in the atmosphere emitted by nuclear tests indicate that the Bern model used by the IPCC is inconsistent with virtually all reported experimental results. Guest essay…
Grade school science howler from Ken Caldeira: 'CO2…forms carbonic acid (the same thing that makes soda fizz)'
From the Carnegie Institution , where soda pop science is like a carbonic acid trip, they say (thanks to modeling) we have to make big changes: “To save coral reefs,…
'plug-and-play' CO2 Scrubbers
From MIT, while “plug-and-play” is cited, it’s just a paper. Getting the carbon out of emissions Proposed method could be more efficient than previous systems and easier to retrofit in…
DOE Green Energy Loans: $11.45 million per job and a rounding error's worth of averted carbon emissions.
Guest Post by David Middleton The cost of each taxpayer-financed green energy job created since 2009: $26.32 billion divided by 2,298 jobs = $11.45 million per job… Green energy jobs…

Study says global warming caused by CFCs interacting with cosmic rays, not carbon dioxide
From the University of Waterloo, an extraordinary claim. While plausible, due to the fact that CFC’s have very high GWP numbers, their atmospheric concentrations compared to CO2 are quite low,…
