Another RRTM experiment. If we reduced CO2 back to the good old days of 350 ppm (1988) that would reduce downwelling longwave radiation in the tropics by a massive 0.03%. By contrast, a 1% change in humidity (which happens every … Continue reading →

The loss of sea ice may also be driving Arctic air into the middle latitudes. Winter weather patterns are notoriously chaotic, and the GISS analysis finds seven of the last 10 European winters warmer than the average from 1951 to … Continue reading →

We have had an amazing week of cold, hurricane force winds, heavy rain, branches breaking on the roof, thunderstorms and blizzards. I blame your SUV!

http://www.columbia.edu/~mhs119/Temperature/T_moreFigs/ Dr. Jim’s 1988 projections weren’t looking so good, so he dropped an apple in the middle of his oranges. The red line is land only temperatures, but his projections were for global temperatures. Let’s remove the inappropriate data and … Continue reading →

As we approach the tenth anniversary of 9/11/2001, the usual whack jobs are out spouting the demolition theory. Demolitions occur from the bottom up. First floor destroyed first, then the second floor, then the third floor ….. The top floor … Continue reading →

Hansen’s 1988 projections At Jim Hansen’s now famous congressional testimony given in the hot summer of 1988, he showed GISS model projections of continued global warming assuming further increases in human produced greenhouse gases. This was one of the earliest … Continue reading →

Scientists say that we can trace an estimated one-third of global greenhouse gases to our food system. Livestock, including meat and dairy production, is thought to account for 18 percent of the world’s total emissions. The United States has one … Continue reading →
