NASA: Sun’s Solar Wind at a 50-Year Low

NASA will hold a media teleconference Tuesday, Sept. 23, at 12:30 p.m. EDT, to discuss data from the joint NASA and European Space Agency Ulysses mission that reveals the sun’s solar wind is at a 50-year low. The sun’s current state could result in changing conditions in the solar system. http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2008/sep/HQ_M08176_Ulysses_teleconference.html BBC News website: Solar [...]

Reminder: Global Warming Halted, for Now

There has been no warming in the upper ocean heat content since 2004, and the troposphere shows no warming since about 2002 (Figure 7). Lower troposphere image (below) from Icecap.

Why are Climate Models Reproducing the Observed Global Surface Warming So Well?

A new paper has been published in GRL by Reto Knutti, entitled: ‘Why are climate models reproducing global surface warming so well?’ The Abstract states: Climate models reproduce the observed surface warming better than one would expect given the uncertainties in radiative forcing, climate sensitivity and ocean heat uptake, suggesting that different models show similar [...]

Limits on CO2 Climate Forcing from Recent Temperature Data

David Douglass and John Christy have a new paper accepted in the refereed section of the journal Energy & Environment, which is also available as an arXiv pre-print.  It’s unusual for either John Christy or David Douglass to submit a paper to E & E, which doesn’t appear in any citation index. On the other hand, [...]

Australia’s Coral Reefs: Hundreds of New Species Discovered

Hundreds of new kinds of animal species, including 130 colourful corals, have been discovered. The extraordinary creatures were found by researchers systematically exploring waters off two islands on the Great Barrier Reef and a reef off northwestern Australia. Dr Ian Poiner, chief executive of the Australian Institute of Marine Sciences, that led the research, said: [...]

Past Climate Implies Higher Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Levels in the Future

A new perspective has been published in the journal Science entitled: ‘Illuminating the Modern Dance of Climate and CO2.’ The paper states: Climate and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations have been coupled through much of Earth’s history: CO2 influences climate through the greenhouse effect, but climate also influences CO2 through its impact on the stores of [...]

Arctic Permafrost Can Survive Longer and Warmer Interglacials

A new paper has been publsihed in the journal Science entitled: ‘Ancient Permafrost and a Future, Warmer Arctic.’ The Abstract states: Climate models predict extensive and severe degradation of permafrost in response to global warming, with a potential for release of large volumes of stored carbon. However, the accuracy of these models is difficult to [...]

‘Earth: The Climate Wars’ – More Bias from the BBC

The BBC has yet another climate change programme presented by Dr Iain Stewart entitled: ‘Earth: The Climate Wars’ Below is an opinion sent to me by a viewer: Basically its three programmes purporting to be a definitive history of the global warming debate. The presenter is Iain Stewart who did that “Power of the Planet” series [...]

NSIDC: Arctic Sea Ice Reaches Lowest Extent for 2008

Not good news for climate alarmists – sea ice area UP 9.4% over last year’s minimum: This is a joint announcement with NASA and the University of Colorado at Boulder. The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) is part of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado at [...]

UK’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis: 5 Years to Prolonged Power Cuts

Over the last 25 years successive governments have failed to form a coherent, realistic and structured energy policy for the UK. The business and industrial community, which has already been forced to accept energy prices far in excess of its European counterparts, is now expressing grave disquiet.
