Carbon Dioxide in Atmosphere 5-15 Years Only
IF carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels only stayed in the atmosphere a few years, say five years, then there may not be quite the urgency currently associated with anthropogenic global warming. Indeed it might be argued that the problem of … [Read more...] about Carbon Dioxide in Atmosphere 5-15 Years Only
Cold Even by Arctic Stanards
Extreme weather is hampering attempts by a team of three British explorers to examine the effects of climate change on Arctic sea ice around the north pole... the extreme weather, even by Arctic standards, has affected much of the team's standard … [Read more...] about Cold Even by Arctic Stanards
Who Should Pay?
It's quite amusing that, according to Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner, the developing world wants the developed world, primarily the U.S., to pay them to cooperate with us on CO2 emissions. I say amusing because any money we send to China for its help, … [Read more...] about Who Should Pay?
Fossil Fuels Fail to Explain Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Levels: AEF Media Release
CHAIR of the Australian Environment Foundation, Jennifer Marohasy, today welcomed new research by Australian physicist, Dr Tom Quirk, suggesting natural environmental forces, more than just fossil fuel emissions, could be contributing to the elevated … [Read more...] about Fossil Fuels Fail to Explain Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Levels: AEF Media Release
On the First Principles of Heat Transfer: A Note from Alan Siddons
CLIMATE concerns look surreal when you examine modern assumptions ("the settled science") on the basis of first principles like conductive, convective and radiative heat transfer, specific heat (where water is king) and density. To me, they paint a … [Read more...] about On the First Principles of Heat Transfer: A Note from Alan Siddons
