The Ridiculousness Continues – Climate Complexity Compiled
By WUWT regular “Just The Facts” With the help of an array of WUWT reader comments on this thread and several others documented within, I’ve been compiling a summary of…
Dallas earthquake not caused by fracking… And neither was the Ohio quake.
Guest post by David Middleton Wow! I woke up Friday morning to news that a 2.0 Md earthquake struck about a mile and a half from my office. I was…
"Very wet rain events" from tropical cyclones linked to earthquakes
From the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science , an interesting groundbreaking paper, ahem…but, wait for it, we’ll soon hear “Climate disruption causes more hurricanes and…
Good news from UVa, earthquake early warning may be possible
Study: Ozone From Rock Fracture Could Serve As Earthquake Early Warning — Researchers the world over are seeking reliable ways to predict earthquakes, focusing on identifying seismic precursors that, if…
Comet water discovered to be nearly identical in composition to Earth's oceans
Suggests comet bombardment contributed to forming oceans From the European Space Agency: Did Earth’s oceans come from comets? ESA’s Herschel infrared space observatory has found water in a comet with…
Possible earthquake early warning signal discovered
From the AGU: An atmospheric precursor to the recent Japan megaquake Most scientists believe that earthquakes are inherently unpredictable, and reports of various kinds of earthquake precursor signals have been…

Earth's Climate System Is Ridiculously Complex – With Draft Link Tutorial
By WUWT regular “Just The Facts” I am often amused by claims that we understand Earth’s climate system, are able to accurately measure its behavior, eliminate all potential variables except…
Visualizing the "Greenhouse Effect" – Light and Heat
Guest Post by Ira Glickstein Solar “light” radiation in = Earth “heat” radiation to Space out! That’s old news to those of us who understand all energy is fungible (may…
NASA takes AIM on noctilucent clouds
From AIM. High up in the sky near the poles some 50 miles above the ground, silvery blue clouds sometimes appear, shining brightly in the night. First noticed in 1885,…
And now…something refreshing
Time to take a break from global warming. Link to the full video follows. Terje Sorgjerd writes: This was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011. I had the pleasure…
Visualizing the "Greenhouse Effect" – Emission Spectra
Guest post by Ira Glickstein The Atmospheric “greenhouse effect” has been analogized to a blanket that insulates the Sun-warmed Earth and slows the rate of heat transmission, thus increasing mean…
Visualizing the "Greenhouse Effect" – Atmospheric Windows
Guest post by Ira Glickstein A real greenhouse has windows. So does the Atmospheric “greenhouse effect”. They are similar in that they allow Sunlight in and restrict the outward flow…
Visualizing the "Greenhouse Effect" – A Physical Analogy
Guest post by Ira Glickstein Albert Einstein was a great theoretical physicist, with all the requisite mathematical tools. However, he rejected purely mathematical abstraction and resorted to physical analogy for…
On the "Magnetic polar shifts cause massive global super storms" story
I’ve been avoiding this story (Magnetic polar shifts cause massive global super storms) for awhile, hoping it would simply die, but people keep asking me about it, and I see…
Commentary- Hansen Draft Paper: Paleoclimate Implications for Human-Made Climate Change
by Dr. Martin Hertzberg As the saying goes: “If all you have in your hand is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail”. It is hopeless to expect that…
One more thing that is "better than we thought" – NOAA: "the atmosphere’s self-cleaning capacity is rather stable"
