An intriguing image created by radio telescopes in the Australian desert shows how our satellite can act as a giant mirror, shedding light on the universe’s past.
Radio waves from our home galaxy, the Milky Way, reflect off the surface of the moon in this intriguing image created by a research team working with the The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescopes in the Australian desert. The remote location was chosen for its extremely low levels of interference from earthly radio stations.
There are many unresolved issues which draw Plate Tectonics, mantle convection, and Continental Drift into question. Could the data from GRACE and GRACE-FO determine if the Earth is expanding?
For the last five years I have been arguing against people who have more academic credentials than me. People who have much more ability at mathematics than me. People who are experts in a scientific field that is relevant to understanding climate.
Last year, an early freeze-up of Western Hudson Bay sea ice almost ruined the Polar Bear Week campaign devised by Polar Bears International to drum up donation dollars and public sympathy for polar bear conservation.
Doctors have hailed a new treatment for multi-drug resistant tuberculosis after it totally cured 93 per cent of patients in a breakthrough trial. Currently, around half of people with MDR tuberculosis are successfully treated, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
So you thought Solar Minimum was boring? Think again. High-altitude balloon flights conducted by Spaceweather.com and Earth to Sky Calculus show that atmospheric radiation is intensifying from coast to coast over the USA–an ironic result of low solar activity.
Nuclear technology is a major base-load power-generating source and accounted for 10.5{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} of global power generation in 2017 as per GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
The recent UN global warming conference under auspices of the deceptively-named International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded its meeting in South Korea discussing how to drastically limit global temperature rise.
An international panel of climate scientists is reportedly calling on the nations of the world to take “unprecedented” new steps to address man-made global warming, including by blanketing the skies in chemical aerosols.
In a world riddled with climate-change doomsday predictions, a small but growing number of scientists are saying the highly touted climate models predicting steadily increasing global temperature due to humans’ carbon-dioxide emissions are wrong and that Earth could soon face something even direr: global cooling.
A climate skeptic book by Japanese physicist and Professor Emeritus Yuh Fukai released in October 2015, was recently released in Kindle version. The title of the book in Japanese is 地球はもう温暖化していない, which means: “The Globe Isn’t Warming Anymore”
What is your position on the climate-change debate? What would it take to change your mind?
If the answer is It would take a ton of evidence to change my mind, because my understanding is that the science is settled, and we need to get going on this important issue, that’s what I thought, too. This is my story.
A new paper authored by Hu et al appearing in the journal Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans finds that tropical cyclone (TC) frequency in the western North Pacific (WNP) during 1960–2014 shows a step-by-step decrease and is linked to natural oceanic cycles, namely to the phase of the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO).
New research by a Swiss institute has thrown doubt on the widespread assumption that the melting of Alpine glaciers began with the onset of industrialization in the middle of the 19th century.
Researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute have found that a deeper analysis of soot levels within the ice itself throws this assumption into doubt.
I calculated average Arctic sea ice thickness by dividing DMI volume by MASIE extent. Average ice thickness has been increasing for a decade, and this year had the third highest maximum thickness and highest minimum thickness since the start of MASIE records in 2006.
