A climate of scepticism
Guest post by Philip Lloyd, Energy Institute, CPUT The world is getting a little warmer. Of that there is no doubt. The measurements by which we know that it is…
Hansen's NASA GISS – cooling the past, warming the present
The Climate of Gavin: How GISS Have Changed The Temperature Record Since 2008 Guest post by Paul Homewood I ran a post yesterday, showing how the latest version of GISSTEMP had…
Quote of the week – Hansen concedes the age of flatness
Dr. James Hansen and Reto Ruedy of NASA GISS have written a paper (non peer reviewed) with a remarkable admission in it. It is titled Global Temperature Update Through 2012. Here…
Hansen and Karl to put on a "worse than we thought" event
From a press release, apparently the writer has no clue that the NASA GISS data is a derivative of the NOAA data, and thus the claim of “NASA and NOAA…
NASA on the sun: '…tiny variations can have a significant effect on terrestrial climate."
Researchers have considered the possibility that the sun plays a role in global warming. From NASA GSFC: Solar Variability and Terrestrial Climate In the galactic scheme of things, the Sun…
Why ice loss and sea level measurements via satellite and the new Shepherd et al paper are highly uncertain at the moment
There’s a paper (Shepherd et al) on ice loss and sea level rise that has been making the rounds in media (such as this article in Science Recorder, claiming it…
Alice in Wonderland science
Our energy and environment deserve better – in South Africa and Qatar Guest post by Dr. Kelvin Kemm A few weeks ago, perhaps as a prologue to the “global warming…
Alaska's Columbia Glacier expected to halt retreat in 2020
From the University of Colorado at Boulder more model output, but at least this is a testable hypothesis in the not too distant future. It also points to the fact…
Sea ice extent linked to ocean currents – hindcast model works
UPDATE: Perhaps in response to criticism here, MIT has changed the press release wording. See below. From MIT, now if they could work the wind patterns in, as NASA suggests,…
Glaciergate post script – they'll shrink anyway
From Brigham Young University and the “IPCC, take your 2035 and shove it” department comes this study: Himalayan glaciers will shrink even if temperatures hold steady Come rain or shine,…
Bipolar disorder – as in the Arctic, the Antarctic sea ice extent is affected by wind, unless of course it's 'climate change'
From the “no matter what happens it is climate change” department. So, according to this, when the Arctic loses ice it is due to climate change ‘global warming’ when the…
Solar cycle 24 continues weakly, perhaps weakest of the space-age
NOAA SWPC has updated their plot page of solar metrics, and the slump continues. At spaceweather.com Dr. Tony Phillips writes: SO THIS IS SOLAR MAXIMUM? Forecasters have long expected the…
Curiosity: no methane found on Mars – yet
From NASA JPL, no evidence of Methane found in first tests. PASADENA, Calif. — NASA’s car-sized rover, Curiosity, has taken significant steps toward understanding how Mars may have lost much…
Some new climate surprises blow in with the dust
From NASA: Dust’s Warming Counters Half of its Cooling Effect Dust that routinely rises above the world’s deserts causes a more significant localized warming effect than previously thought, a new…
Spooky: A nighttime view of Hurricane Sandy's landfall
You’ve seen those photographs from space of the Earth at night with cities lit up like Christmas trees. Imagine that scene with a hurricane added.
Finally: JPL intends to get a GRASP on accurate sea level and ice measurements
A climate science bombshell: New proposal from NASA JPL admits to “spurious” errors in current satellite based sea level and ice altimetry, calls for new space platform to fix the…
Even NASA has gotten into the "Frankenstorm" meme
From NASA’s PR engine: NASA Sees Hurricane Sandy as the “Bride of Frankenstorm” Approaching U.S. East Coast NASA’s TRMM satellite revealed Hurricane Sandy’s heavy rainfall and the storm is expected…
Good news: 2012 Antarctic Ozone Hole is the second smallest in 20 years
Daily ozone hole images from Jul 1, 2012 to Oct. 19, 2012. The ozone hole max is on Sept. 22, 2012. Credit: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center – click image for…
NASA on Earth's bipolar sea ice behavior
Opposite Behaviors? Arctic Sea Ice Shrinks, Antarctic Grows September 2012 witnessed two opposite records concerning sea ice. Two weeks after the Arctic Ocean’s ice cap experienced an all-time summertime low…
