The US is cold right now, largely due to very dry air. Note that dew points are below 0C across almost the entire country. This has two effects – it reduces the greenhouse effect, and reduces the amount of heat … Continue reading →

The graph below shows how the greenhouse effect varies with humidity during the mid-latitude summer. As you can see, there is a huge increase in downwelling longwave radiation going from no water vapor to 1% water vapor (10,000 PPM.) A little bit … Continue reading →

I am trying to explain the most basic concepts of science related to the climate debate here, and am getting an incredible amount of push back from some skeptics. This doesn’t bode well for winning the debate. Ignorance and arrogance … Continue reading →

One of the reasons why the US is record cold tonight, is because of a shortage of greenhouse gases to hold the temperature up – as seen in this Weatherbell map.

This is where I will be in the tropics next week. The sun is below the horizon for 12 hours a day. This is the North Pole in summer. The sun stays at the same elevation all day. Is the … Continue reading →

The experts at CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, and all the other communist news agencies told us that the voters were very angry at the GOP for the government shutdown last fall.

At midsummer, the poles receive the most solar insolation of any place on Earth. This is because the sun is higher in the sky for most of the 24 hour day at the pole, than it is in the tropics. … Continue reading →

President Obama says there is no such thing as a conspiracy. [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGAdrQ2RpdM]

Which location has more water vapor in the air? Location A – 90% relative humidity Location B – 20% relative humidity

The purpose of a greenhouse, is to emulate the climate of the tropics. The tropics are very warm, largely because of the high concentration of greenhouse gases there. During June, the Arctic receives more solar insolation than the tropics, yet … Continue reading →
