For the past two years I have spent most of my time developing theories that interpret the greenhouse energy effects of all the precipitable water (PW) held in the atmosphere. These letters have largely been engaged in marking the progress … Continue reading →

It’s a pretty extreme day for Arctic Amplification (AA). I thought I had better preserve this set of images from the weather maps, and there is no better place to do so than right here. I’ll keep it as short … Continue reading →

My letter two days ago (CL#2137) was devoted to a review based on a definitive new report about Arctic Amplification (AA). This is a scientific phenomenon of great scientific interest because of its grossly exaggerated effect on the average global … Continue reading →

An organized media effort is now underway to send out a new message about our human ability to hold the global temperature increase within the UN’s target limit of 1.5C.  I first wrote about this effort last Friday, in CL#2134, … Continue reading →

A definitive new report on Arctic Amplification was published in early February.  It is very lengthy and does not shy away from the fact that the amount of science involved is terribly complex and full of unresolved issues.  To quote … Continue reading →

An interesting panorama of anomalies today in North America. Hardly any location is either perfectly normal or even close to normal. Huge swathes of territory are colder than 10C below normal and equally huge swathes are 8C or more above … Continue reading →

My last letter dealt with issues surrounding the ability of oceans to capture and sequester a significant portion of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activity.  The questions involved are of great importance to anyone interested in evaluating the future … Continue reading →

Can the progress of global temperature increases actually be limited to the UN’s target of 1.5C if aggressive enough action is taken?  My letters this week have been focused on this question, basically demonstrating that a substantial majority of climate … Continue reading →

My letter of three days ago, CL#2130, reviewed the result of a study of hundreds of different climate scenarios that other climate scientists around the world had developed, after screening out hundreds more for being clearly implausible. All of the … Continue reading →

An important new report on sea level rise, based on information provided by the UN and US federal agencies led by NOAA, foresees a fast pace of acceleration for coastal US at least through 2050. The information is limited to … Continue reading →
