Mars has a mean surface pressure of 600 pascals, compared with Earth’s 100,000 pascals. In other words, the atmospheric pressure on Earth is about 150 times higher than Mars. Mars has 0.95 mole fraction CO2, compared to 0.0004 on earth. … Continue reading →

It may be record cold in Australia, India, Canada and Greenland, but Chicago is heating up with record snow. This is what Hansen was trying to show us with his GISS temperatures that nearly tied the hottest year ever last … Continue reading →

http://www.eol.ucar.edu/ Yesterday at NCAR in Boulder, temperatures shot up 15 degrees in a matter of a few minutes. This was due to the arrival of Chinook winds. When the wind blows out of the west, the air compresses as it … Continue reading →

NPR says beetles are investing in trees. Sophisticated little buggers – first they invest, then they destroy – driving the price up. Sick the SEC on them. National Parks Week kicks off Saturday, but the celebration comes at a rough … Continue reading →

Scientists with the Carnegie Institutions’s Department of Global Ecology at Stanford University and the University of Montana analyzed temperature, reflectivity, and evapotranspiration from satellite data across 733,000 square miles—an area larger than the state of Alaska. They found converting from … Continue reading →

“If you ask me as a person, do I think the Russian heat wave has to do with climate change, the answer is yes,” said Gavin Schmidt, a climate researcher with NASA in New York. “If you ask me as … Continue reading →

SHIMLA: Even as concern is being spread about global warming, it has been the coldest April in over a decade, as far as this erstwhile summer capital of the British raj is concerned, with both the average day and average … Continue reading →

Some readers insist on denying the obvious fact that Venus temperatures are due to high atmospheric pressure. The latest argument being that the lapse rate is dependent on GHG levels. This is trivial to demonstrate as incorrect. The first problem … Continue reading →

Hansen demonstrates that his stance on CO2 is irrational, and that climate science peer-review is complete crap. How does this garbage get published? Hansen 2003 : The soot albedo effect operates in concert with regional warming in most of the … Continue reading →
