NASA: The huge amount of water vapor hurled into the atmosphere, as detected by NASA’s Microwave Limb Sounder, could end up temporarily warming Earth’s surface. When the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted on Jan. 15, it sent a tsunami racing around the world and set off a sonic boom that circled the globe twice. The…
Record-breaking drought and sweltering temperatures are baking parts of the U.S.
12-month global temperature should reach minimum near +1.1C in late 2021. Maximum at next El Nino is likely to be near +1.5C due to rising CO 2 , CH 4 , N 2 O, solar irradiance and Earth’s energy imbalance.
This visualization shows that as land temperatures have increased since 1950, hotter days have become more common and colder days have become less common. When the bell curve becomes shorter, one can see more data trending toward the right, revealing hotter days. This visualization shows how the distribution of land temperature anomalies has varied over…
June Update: A month after Hansen’s post – the index changed considerably, in June NOAA made the following post By James Hansen and Makiko Sato, 13th May 2021. Global temperature in April continues to be much less than a year ago (Fig. 1: left side). ENSO (El Nino Southern Oscillation) is the principal cause of…
Ice cores obtained years ago document an ominous rise of temperatures, abrupt change manifesting just within a few decades. First scientists thought this must be an error, but slowly they realize what it could mean for us today. Research into the polar ocean, found, it is getting hotter at a rate faster than even the worst…

Back in 1982, Exxon’s environmental affairs office circulated an internal report to Exxon’s management which said that the consequences of climate change could be catastrophic, and that a significant reduction in fossil fuel consumption would be necessary to curtail future climate change. It also said that “there is concern among some scientific groups that once…
