Dear Fox News, CO2 is not climate Steam is not CO2 The deal says US decreases emissions, while China increases them. The 2030 number is meaningless.

The U.S. set a new target to reduce its emissions of heat-trapping gases by 26 percent to 28 percent by 2025, compared with 2005 levels. That’s a sharp increase from earlier in Obama’s presidency, when he pledged to cut emissions … Continue reading →

A few years ago the climate lived in Texas, but now resides in California and Alaska. http://wxmaps.org/pix/clim.html

Greenhouses impede heat transfer and warm the air below. Greenhouse gases impede heat transfer and warm the air below. All of the mechanisms are not identical. Skeptics have no reason to cling to junk science. We have massive volumes of … Continue reading →

We actually have people commenting here making the argument that a blanket doesn’t keep you warm, because it doesn’t make you hotter than your body temperature. Is it Tuesday night at the comedy club?

Dams are often built to generate electricity. The way this works is that the dam impedes the flow of water, and thus increases the potential energy of the water behind the dam – creating a  large potential energy difference between the two … Continue reading →

Every modern weather forecast model has a radiative transfer model in its core, which models the greenhouse effect. Weather models would not work without fairly accurate models of the greenhouse effect, because humidity and cloudiness have a large impact on temperature  – … Continue reading →

The year 1913 brought the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth, and the longest heatwave on record in the Midwest. But it wasn’t just summer that was hot. Basin, Wyoming was 74 degrees on November 11, 1913 (more than 60 … Continue reading →

The greenhouse effect is fundamental physics. People who can’t accept that fact, make it more difficult for skeptics to get their message out. Don’t do that.
