Pielke Sr. interviewed about the surfacestations project
Dr. Roger Pielke writes: I was invited to answer a set of questions motivated by Anthony Watt’s excellent surface temperature project [see www.surfacestations.org] project by James Wynn of the English Department at…
New isotope based temperature reconstruction using McIntyre's 'Starbucks hypothesis' tree core samples
A new paper in GRL published Sep 6th Secular temperature trends for the southern Rocky Mountains over the last five centuries makes use of some tree core sample data gathered…
Mystery cloud spotted on Mars by amateur astronomer
Here’s something fascinating and puzzling, maybe WUWT readers can help figure this one out. There’s also a neat flipbook animation below the read more line. Wayne Jaeschke writes: Here’s a…
Submarines in the Winter Twilight
One of the more celebrated North Pole surfacings of the USS Skate happened today in 1959, see http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/04/26/ice-at-the-north-pole-in-1958-not-so-thick/ for more on that and several others. Nearly a couple years ago…
Climate Science and Special Relativity
Guest post by Andi Cockroft One cannot help but notice the events of the past few weeks (nay months if you include Climategate II), and the ad hominem attacks on both…
Citizen Science – an interactive map of wind visualization and temperature
Nicolas Garcia Belmonte has visualized wind motion in the USA, which I think is quite neat. On his weblog he writes: I’ve been working on a WebGL data visualization of…

Global warming is killing the stars
People send me things. Today it is a curious graph of the number of supernovae (dying stars) discovered versus the HadCRUT temperature data since 1960. There’s a good correlation. So…
Novel idea – arrange solar panels like Nature designed it
From Slashdot, something so obvious you wonder why nobody tried it before: arrange solar panels like tree leaves for better efficiency. See the story and graphs I’ve provided below. 13-Year-Old…
Don't take your science fair project to the airport
Last week it was Don’t try nuclear energy experiments at home. This week it’s Altoid tins with dangerous electronics and alligator clips. From Oregon Live: Science project closes Omaha airport terminal…
The fireball network: an opportunity for citizen science?
This is an interesting project put on by NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Project (MEO) using some low light B/W video cameras placed into a skyward looking weatherproof housing made of a…
Live real-time monitoring map of radiation counts in the USA
As many know, I’m a big fan of citizen science. There’s much that can be contributed by the layman that the government often cannot or will not do. Since many…
