NASA: Researchers have found that Earth’s energy imbalance approximately doubled during the 14-year period from 2005 to 2019. Earth’s climate is determined by a delicate balance between how much of the Sun’s radiative energy is absorbed in the atmosphere and at the surface and how much thermal infrared radiation Earth emits to space. A positive…
Robert Howarth talks with Dan Miller about natural gas (methane) and coal in terms what these fossil energies hold for our climate. Robert Howarth is Professor of Ecology & Environmental Biology at Cornell University. He is an expert on natural gas & methane and their impact on the climate. In this wide-ranging interview, Prof. Howarth…
Record-breaking drought and sweltering temperatures are baking parts of the U.S.
Speaker Hanno Böck talks about hydrogen, and points out – to make it viable you would require more renewable electricity, also it would be expensive. He also makes the distinction between green hydrogen, and fossil hydrogen – how it is produced, with green hydrogen making up only a small fraction today. Hydrogen is a crucial…
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.
Climate scientist Stefan Rahmstorf speaks on climate tipping points.
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…
Michael Holmes (CNN), interviews climate scientist Michael Mann about the G-7 talks currently underway. #ClimateChange at the #G7 -financing for countries to leap frog fossil fuels is a start says @MichaelEMann but more needs to happen. “The #ParisAccords was a foot in the door but we have to reduce carbon emissions far more…if we are…
China Reveals Electric Plasma Jet Engine To Solve Climate Change. Imagine a gleaming futuristic airliner flying around the world, fuelled solely by clean energy and fresh air. That is the grand vision of a new generation of jet thrusters that is causing a lot of buzz in engineering labs all over the world. Is this…
As CBS News’ Mola Lenghi reports, drought conditions in the Western U.S. are historic and point to what could be a catastrophic wildfire season.
Climate change status quo and scenarios. Speaker: Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Director Emeritus Date: March 2021 Location: Berlin
ABC News’ Zohreen Shah reports on climate change fueling dire drought conditions in California, drying up reservoirs critical to California residents.
