Bob Tisdale shows how 'Forecast the Facts" Brad Johnson (and now Dr. Heidi Cullen) are fecklessly factless about ocean warming and the blizzard
UPDATE2: Gosh. Shouldn’t Dr. Cullen know more than McKibben and Brad Johnson?! (h/t to Marc Morano) – Anthony Here’s the SST anomaly map she cites as proof in her post…
If you thought global warming is a 'can of worms' you were right – Earthworms found to increase GHG emissions
Bruce. C. submits this odd story from the Dutch Telegraph, which is likely to have some organic farmers is a tizzy. This is a story that was translated from the…
Global warming – more complex than we thought
From the University of Hawaii ‑ SOEST, more modeling mania for the future. New research shows complexity of global warming Greenhouse gases versus solar heating Global warming from greenhouse gases…
Commitment studies belie "consensus" claim that a persistent high level of temperature forcing cannot cause continued warming
Guest post by Alec Rawls They say it all the time: even if there were some substantial mechanism of enhanced solar forcing it couldn’t be responsible for late 20th century…
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,…
On losing the 2°C battle
We’ve already posted on how China is moving right along now as the big kahuna of CO2 emissions, now it seems there’s some despair over the inability to miss the…
US shale gas drives up coal exports
From the University of Manchester US CO2 emissions from domestic energy have declined by 8.6% since a peak in 2005, the equivalent of 1.4% per year. However, the researchers warn…
Sunshade geoengineering people apparently have been in the midday sun too long
From the Carnegie Institution , not just aerosol injections, but effective aersol injections. Law of unintended consequences be damned. Improving effectiveness of solar geoengineering Washington, D.C.— Solar radiation management is…
No wonder 'climate' wasn't mentioned in the presidential debate
While my favorite tweet this morning called climate “the third rail” (i.e. don’t touch the electrified rail or it will kill your presidential bid, there’s even a Wiki entry on…
Geoengineering: 'computer-based virtual worlds' tell us how much sunblock Earth needs
From the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory: Earth sunblock only needed if planet warms easily Planet’s sensitivity to greenhouse gases will determine how much shading could be needed to slow temperature…
New technology enables CO2 emissions tracking down to the level of individual buildings
I wonder what sort of reactions will occur when the CO2 police come knocking on individual doors saying “you need to turn off your heater, you are killing the planet”?…
'Almost half of the CO2 transfers into the US are caused by the American trade deficit'
From the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) Constraining world trade is unlikely to help the climate Instead, researchers were able to pin down a number of factors explaining…
Friday Funny – pissing away the CO2 alarm
From the FECYT – Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology comes this hilarious bit of news pushed as serious science. I like the idea of a “potion”. It fits right…
John Coleman on the California Cap and Trade Law
John Coleman, founder of The Weather Channel, writes on his Facebook Page: I will be presenting a skeptical report on the new California Cap and Trade law on the KUSI…
Some thoughts on radiative transfer and GHG's
Guest post by Reed Coray The following example illustrates the issues I have with reasoning often used to argue that increasing the amount of CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere will…
New paper on Global Water Vapor puts climate modelers in a bind
Where’s that positive feedback that is supposed to manifest itself in water vapor, the most potent natural greenhouse gas? Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. writes: New Paper “Weather And Climate Analyses…
Caution needed with new greenhouse gas emission standards
From the University of Calgary New model provides lifecycle analysis of ‘well-to-wheel’ oil sands emissions Policy makers need to be cautious in setting new ‘low-carbon’ standards for greenhouse gas emissions…
