This post will be continuously updated. There are many questions surrounding carbon capture and storage, ranging from feasibility, to the question where to store captured carbon, and how reliable – safe these storage sites are over time. Costs James Hansen calculated the costs of carbon and capture and storage in June 2019:[2] The gap between…
If you followed the Europe 2019 June heatwave on twitter you may have come across tweets claiming that the highest recorded temperature was set in 1930 with 50C or 122F. For instance the account of Dr. Waheed Uddin, was quick to post an Australian newspaper article from 1930, which claimed that a temperature of 50C…

This NASA visualization is based on the latest IPCC report, and uses the business as usual scenario, where carbon dioxide concentrations rise to 936 parts per million—more than double today’s levels of 400 parts per million—by the year 2100. Temperature anomalies are estimated to be close to 4°C in the Arctic. https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/details.cgi?aid=11453
This peer-reviewed educational video introduces feedbacks that are important in the Arctic climate system. It is aimed at an undergraduate non-science major level. The video was produced by a team of CIRES scientists in collaboration with CIRES Education and Outreach. Video production was funded by Professor Jennifer Kay’s CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation…

07/27/2016 – Global-mean temperatures are breaking one record after the other since instrumental observations began. Driven by burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, carbon dioxide concentrations have also soared to unprecedented levels. In fact, today’s CO2 concentrations are higher than they have ever been over the last 800 thousand years. Scientists from the Potsdam Institute…
