Dr. Jennifer Francis – Rutgers University “Extreme weather events are increasing in frequency and intensity all around the northern hemisphere.” Concurrently, Arctic sea ice is in an accelerating decline, the entire surface of Greenland melted for the first time in at least 150 years, glaciers are disappearing around the world, and snow cover on Arctic…
SkepticalScience: Human greenhouse gas emissions have continued to warm the planet over the past 16 years. However a persistent myth has emerged in the mainstream media challenging this. As a simple illustration of why the myth is wrong this video clarifies how the interplay of natural and human factors have affected the short-term temperature trends,…
Climate deniers like to claim that cold weather over eastern north america and eurasia somehow contradicts a warming planet. In fact, scientists are now observing what may become a more frequent pattern, caused by declining northern sea ice – of frigid polar air being pushed out of the arctic regions, while warmer air is drawn…
The history of the earth is immense, and diverse – and its easy to get confused and mangle history, — to mix things that never belonged together in the real world. What was natural in the distant past might not be a good fit alongside man’s creations. Human beings and the climate of the ancient…
Find out how the most spectacular cherry pick in the history of scientific argument is just part of a day’s work for the professional deniers.
In a speech at the University of Oregon, James Hansen, NASA’s chief atmospheric scientist, walks listeners thru the most recent geologic periods, and speaks to the commonly heard climate canard, “It’s been hotter in earth’s history before – so what’s the big deal?’ this presentation and others by Hansen available here: http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/present… James Hansen’s original…
Dr. Stephen Hawking on the survival of the human race.
One of the earliest, strongest, and most consistent voices on Climate Change. Stephen Schneider sounded a strikingly prescient alarm in 1979.
The global average surface temperature in 2011 was the ninth warmest since 1880.The finding sustains a trend that has seen the 21st century experience nine of the 10 warmest years in the modern meteorological record. NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York released an analysis of how temperatures around the globe in…
