“FOR a glacier to maintain its present size it must have precipitation as snowfall at its source. This leads to a slightly complex relationship with temperature. If the regional climate becomes too dry, there will be no precipitation, so the glacier … [Read more...] about Understanding Ice Sheets and Collapse
Climate & Climate Change
Stopping Volcanoes?
If our climate catastrophists want to twiddle the dials and stop climate change, they need to play God and change radiation in the galaxy, the Sun, the Earth’s orbit, tidal cycles and plate tectonics. Once they have mastered volcanoes, then we can … [Read more...] about Stopping Volcanoes?
Warm Weather Ahead?
“HOT, unseasonal weather has pushed temperatures into the 30's and close to 40 degrees in parts of Queensland, smashing records. “The hot weather was felt right across the state on Saturday... as the mercury soared up to 14 degrees above … [Read more...] about Warm Weather Ahead?
Total Solar Irradiance: Recalculated by N. Scafetta
THE popular view on global warming is that the sun has had a negligible influence on climate – at least over the last few decades compared to carbon dioxide. But taking into account the entire range of possible total solar irradiance (TSI) satellite … [Read more...] about Total Solar Irradiance: Recalculated by N. Scafetta
Thicker Ice on Hudson Bay this Summer
Too many cool, wet days resulted in a lousy summer -- but you won't find any polar bears complaining. The cooler-than-usual summer produced thicker ice on Hudson Bay, giving the area's polar bear population several extra days to feed on tasty ringed … [Read more...] about Thicker Ice on Hudson Bay this Summer
Chaotic Climate and Proof: Garth Paltridge
The trouble is that the uncertainty inevitably associated with the chaotic behaviour of climate works both ways. It may be impossible even in principle to substantiate a doomsday forecast, but it is also impossible to prove anything to the contrary. … [Read more...] about Chaotic Climate and Proof: Garth Paltridge
