The two images below have a 1% difference in absorption of visible light. Can you tell which is which?

RRTM shows that removal of all methane from the atmosphere would only decrease downwelling longwave radiation in the tropics by 0.1%. A 10X increase in methane would only increase the greenhouse effect by 0.3% in the tropics. The catastrophic global … Continue reading →

I took the radiate transfer model used by NCAR (RRTM) and ran it with tropical humidity (0.025 mole fraction H2O)  and three levels of CO2. Results are shown below. 0 ppm   392.3 w/m² 364 ppm   397.5 w/m² 3640 ppm   … Continue reading →

Scientists knew a century ago that continents had to move, and that major climate change was natural. It took many decades for the consensus to accept continental drift, and the “consensus” still claims that climate change is man made. Conclusion : the … Continue reading →

Drastic changes needed to curb N2O, most potent greenhouse gas Meat consumption in the developed world needs to be cut by 50 per cent per person by 2050 if we are to meet the most aggressive strategy, set out by … Continue reading →

80 degrees of global warming in five days in 1934. Hansen would have declared this to be impossible without the emissions from your SUV. 1934: What would become one of the hottest summers on record in Iowa began to intensify … Continue reading →

Study: Global warming could bring penguins to brink of extinction If global temperatures continue to rise, however, the Emperor penguins inTerre Adélie, in East Antarctica may eventually disappear, according to a new study by led by researchers from the Woods … Continue reading →

Cook goes full stupid and shoots himself in the foot. He argues that Hansen’s predictions failed because humans have greatly reduced their output of GHG’s other than CO2. He also argues that CO2 is a minor component relative to the other man-made … Continue reading →
