The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has an idea about how the Earth cools itself: when the planet’s surface warms up, it sends more heat into space as infrared radiation. They estimate that for every 1-degree Celsius increase in … [Read more...] about Complicating the IPCC Planck Feedback, Plank #4 of Climate Resilience Theory

The Moon’s Tidal Push
Stand on a seaside shore, watch the tide roll in and out, and I can see, and feel, the Moon’s force, cyclical, ever present and yet not easy to unravel. There are now tide times, that accurately forecast the height of sea level for any location … [Read more...] about The Moon’s Tidal Push
How Climate Works. In Discussion with Philip Mulholland about Carbon Isotopes
We all know the story about the king who paraded with no clothes, as though everyone watching on was oblivious to the mistake. Parallels can be drawn with sources of CO2, I mean CO2 from factories versus CO2 from natural sources. There is no … [Read more...] about How Climate Works. In Discussion with Philip Mulholland about Carbon Isotopes
In future, I will be More at Substack
I was chatting with a friend on Friday, about the various dynamical state variables, as opposed to external drivers, that might need to be incorporated into my new Theory of Climate Resilience. Ultimately, I want a quantitative model, that can test … [Read more...] about In future, I will be More at Substack
How Climate Works: Upwellings in the Eastern Pacific and Natural Ocean Warming
I’m sometimes asked how ocean circulation can naturally cause global warming, with many assuming solar variability or under sea volcanoes to be the indirect immediate cause. My New Theory of Climate Resilience will focus instead on ocean … [Read more...] about How Climate Works: Upwellings in the Eastern Pacific and Natural Ocean Warming
How Climate Works. Part 5, Freeze with Alex Pope
Conventional thinking treats ice primarily as a consequence of climate change: when the planet cools, ice grows; when the planet warms, ice melts. Alex Pope has convinced me that this view is mostly wrong. Furthermore, Alex’s somewhat radical … [Read more...] about How Climate Works. Part 5, Freeze with Alex Pope
