We compared the data and trends of the Jones et al. However, the results of the teams differ by more than double those limits in several years, and the data sets provided by the teams have different trends. Since all three data sets are compiled from the same available source data i. Thus, we determined that—whichever way MGT is considered—MGT is not an appropriate metric for use in attribution studies.
However, the compilers of the MGT data sets frequently alter their published data of past MGT sometimes they have altered the data in each of several successive months. But the MGT data sets often change. The MGT data always changed between submission of the paper and completion of the peer review process. Thus, the frequent changes to MGT data sets prevented publication of the paper.
Whatever you call this method of preventing publication of a paper, you cannot call it science. But this method prevented publication of information that proved the estimates of MGT and AGW are wrong and the amount by which they are wrong cannot be known. A blackbody is an idealized concept for an object that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation that contacts it.
For a paper discussing this submitted to the American Journal of Physics and immediately rejected without peer review, see link under Challenging the Orthodoxy. By Craig D. Idso, Robert M. Carter, and S. The cost of dealing with the intermittency of wind power is not included.
Who loves coal? One week to Glasgow and China is suddenly digging up record amounts of coal. The U. Link to paper: Optical dating of cobble surfaces determines the chronology of Holocene beach ridges in Greenland. Caught on film: polar bear stalks, kills [in the water] and eats a Svalbard reindeer but climate change is hardly to blame.
Oddly, this seems to have caught some biologists by surprise. Increasing large wildfires over the western United States linked to diminishing sea ice in the Arctic.
A program that, as Jon Stewart might say, the purpose of which was to trick you … into not knowing about the trick to hide the decline. Several German cities halt use of e-buses following series of unresolved cases of fire. It was always that way. United Nations to Texas: Curb reliance on oil and gas to remain prosperous in era of climate change.
Texas leads the US in energy production and carbon dioxide emissions. At an upcoming climate change summit, nations will be asked to rapidly cut their emissions. The Western aid-industrial complex, composed of nongovernmental organizations and state development agencies, has poured money into wind and solar projects across the continent.
This earns them praise in the U. Generators and the mining of lithium for batteries are both highly polluting. African manufacturing will struggle to attract investment and therefore to create jobs without consistent energy sources. They allow for hour-a-day energy production and can be installed along minor rivers without the need for backup energy.
Coal-fired power stations can be converted to burning biomass, and carbon capture can help in the meantime. Nuclear power is also already being put to good use in South Africa, while Algeria, Ghana and Nigeria operate research reactors with the intent of building full-scale nuclear facilities.
Natural gas is a greener option that will help the continent reduce emissions even as it grows, as developed nations have done themselves. Instead of reliable renewables or greener fossil fuels, aid money and development investments go to pushing solar and wind, with all their accompanying drawbacks. And many Western nations have put a blanket ban on public funding for a range of fossil-fuel projects abroad, making it difficult for Africa to make the transition to cleaner non-renewables.
Were sub-Saharan Africa minus South Africa to triple its electricity consumption overnight, powering the new usage entirely by gas, it would add only 0. Forcing Africa down one route will hinder our fight against poverty.
It scares adults and kids alike, as when Rep. That decline has continued through the satellite era, and is likely to end with only 2.
They model only temperature changes, excluding what people might do in response. An April study predicts that population growth and economic development will overwhelm the potential of global warming to encourage fires. Climate policies could achieve a greater reduction in burned land, but at the cost of many trillions of dollars. But those fires look unremarkable in historical context.
Before wildfires on average burned between 4. Fires in the U. The number of homes in high-fire-risk zones in the Western U. A Nature study concludes this is true globally. Helping future wildfire victims has little to do with strict and expensive climate policies, and everything to do with simpler, cheaper measures like better forest management and building codes.
SC25 is slowly progressing up the scale, but at this rate it appears that this minimum is slightly weaker than the one hundred years ago, considerably weaker than the Dalton minimum, and it is unlikely to make strong impact on the global temperatures. Sunspots are very faint during this solar cycle. Asymmetry between two hemisphere in both polar fields and the sunspot count is widely known. Due to the availability of historic SSN data it is well documented, it changes about every 5 or so cycles having just under year periodicity, coinciding with periodicity of the Grand minima.
This year, winter in the US begins on the first of November. Temperatures are dropping in the northeastern Pacific. All indications are that the NAO this winter may be negative, which will provide snowfall in Western Europe. Such large anomalies over the continents increasingly convince me that during periods of low solar activity, as humidity in the upper troposphere decreases, anomalies near the surface will increase, and this will be true in both summer and winter.
Already a large high is visible over central Canada and the US. This means precipitation and gradual cooling in Western and Central Europe. Demand for gas and coal will increase further. High gas and coal prices will continue. Great cloud shot! What are the five people doing in the pic leading pic at the top of the posting? About WordPress. Climate News Roundup. Guest Blogger.
