A thread from a few days ago. I was a huge believer in Climate Change as a youth. I wanted to save the environment. Then I caught one lie. Then…
New threat to ozone recovery
From EurekAlert! Public Release: 20-Dec-2018 New threat to ozone recovery Study finds chloroform emissions, on the rise in East Asia, could delay ozone recovery by up to 8 years Massachusetts…
At AGU, NASA says CFC reduction is not shrinking the ozone hole – yet
NASA Reveals New Results From Inside the Ozone Hole – Dec. 11, 2013 NASA scientists have revealed the inner workings of the ozone hole that forms annually over Antarctica and…
Busted messaging: CFC's cause warming AND cooling
From the make up your freaking minds department comes this oopsy juxtaposition of alarmist messaging. In an attempt to explain “the pause”, researchers are now grasping for explanations: Human actions…
'Ozone hole' may be a warming factor due to wind shifts
First, a clarification; while the AGU calls it an “ozone hole”, it technically isn’t. As NASA says here, it really isn’t a “hole” in the true sense of the word,…
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,…
Who would have guessed it? Sunlit snow key to Arctic ozone depletion
I like this study from the NSF, because they did hands-on empirical measurements and experiments to make the determination – Anthony Sunlit Snow Triggers Atmospheric Cleaning, Ozone Depletion in the…
Ozone depletion trumps greenhouse gas increase in jet-stream shift
From Penn State UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Depletion of Antarctic ozone is a more important factor than increasing greenhouse gases in shifting the Southern Hemisphere jet stream in a southward…
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…
A paper unifying cosmic ray interaction, CFC's ozone, and warming
On Cosmic-Ray-Driven Electron Reaction Mechanism for Ozone Hole and Chlorofluorocarbon Mechanism for Global Climate Change Qing-Bin Lu, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Waterloo Abstract Numerous laboratory measurements have…
Climate change – off in the ozone
From the Harvard University news service and the what are they smoking department, comes this suggestion that apparently it never was ozone damaging CFC refrigerants at all, it was those…
Natural Variability in the Widths of the Tropics
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach In my previous post, “Does This Analysis Make My Tropics Look Big?“I discussed a paper called “Recent Northern Hemisphere tropical expansion primarily driven by black…
Does This Analysis Make My Tropics Look Big?
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach There is a new paper in Nature magazine that claims that the tropics are expanding. This would be worrisome because it could push the dry…
Oh, Canada!
From Penn State: Environment Canada cuts threaten science, international agreements Recent cuts to the scientific workforce of Environment Canada, a government agency responsible for meteorological services and environmental research, threaten…
D'Aleo on ozone hole: "It is very likely to have been there forever"
Ozone holes in Antarctic and Arctic relate to cold rebounds from warming events By Joseph D’Aleo, Weatherbell.com The ozone hole above the Antarctic has reached its maximum extent for the…
Ozone hole "…caused a great deal of the climate change that's been observed"
Columbia engineering study links ozone hole to climate change all the way to the equator First time that ozone depletion is shown to impact the entire circulation of the southern…
Arctic Ozone "Hole" in March
From the European Space Agency, a story of significant cold and wind patterns that have created an ozone “hole” in the Arctic where there normally isn’t one. The last time…
New rate of stratospheric photolysis questions ozone hole
By Joseph D’Aleo, CCM, AMS Fellow Dr. Will Happer of Princeton wrote “The Montreal Protocol to ban freons was the warm-up exercise for the IPCC. Many current IPCC players…
Antarctic Ozone Hole smallest in five years
From MSNBC: WELLINGTON, New Zealand — International efforts to phase out the use of chlorofluorocarbons and other ozone-depleting substances may be paying off, according to research revealed Friday by the…
