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.
The IPCC is re-wording the glossary definitions of six key terms before releasing the official version of this latest report, writes Marc Morano.
Two weeks ago, the media announced the arrival of a new report prepared by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). But that 1,200-page document still hasn’t been officially released.
Take a look at a world map and you’re likely to think that North America and Russia are both larger than Africa. But in reality Africa is three times bigger than North America and significantly larger than Russia too.
This strange distortion has been explored by a climate data scientist at the Met Office who has created a two dimensional representation of what the world really looks like. His incredible map that shows that many countries – including Russia, Canada and Greenland – are not nearly as big as we think.
Scientists have finally confirmed the theory that Earth has a solid core after uncertainty lingered over the topic for more than 80 years.
It has long been believed that Earth has a solid iron core but no proof has ever been found and it has been heralded as the ‘holy grail’ of global seismology.
With most of the United States expected to experience above-average temperatures this winter, California will stay on the extreme track with El Nino predicted to move us from drought conditions in the fall to more atmospheric rivers from December into February 2019.
I didn’t invite Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison Schmitt to get his views on climate change, but that’s the topic that created the most fireworks here today at the ScienceWriters 2018 conference.
The last few years have seen growing concern over what happens to solar panels at the end of their life. Consider the following statements:
The problem of solar panel disposal “will explode with full force in two or three decades and wreck the environment” because it “is a huge amount of waste and they are not easy to recycle.”
“The reality is that there is a problem now, and it’s only going to get larger, expanding as rapidly as the PV industry expanded 10 years ago.”
“Contrary to previous assumptions, pollutants such as lead or carcinogenic cadmium can be almost completely washed out of the fragments of solar modules over a period of several months, for example by rainwater.”
As predicted, the IPCC has released their hot air report on 1.5C of global warming and the lamestream fake news lying establishment lapdog media is hyping it as the end of the world as we know it…unless you pay the globalists more money to atone for your carbon sins, of course. This week on #PropagandaWatch James breaks down the latest propaganda push for carbon eugenics and what it means for the coming technocratic slave state.
As the Earth rotates on its own axis, one half of the Earth is cooling while the other half is warming up. All agree? So the Earth is warming and cooling daily and the temperature is changing 3,600 times in every hour in every location all over the world, as there are 3,600 seconds in every hour. Do we all agree?
Recent evidence about deadly tests of biological substances in Tbilisi, Georgia raised alarm about U.S. biological weapon research in foreign countries. European scientist are extremely concerned about a dubious research program, financed by the Pentagon, that seems designed to spread diseases to crops, animals and people abroad. The creation of such weapons and of special ways to distribute them is prohibited under national and international law.
The continuing global cooling and the start of the grand minimum require new targets in climate policy and a complete withdrawal from the previous warming madness.
After a complete failure by the IPCC climate models and the crazy assignment of CO2 as a pollutant, scientific reason must once again return to the climate discussion.
Penitentes in happier times … Formations in Chile, Earth
Exploring Jupiter’s moon Europa will be a treacherous task, it seems: scientists reckon its surface is covered in sharp towering icy daggers.
The menacing shards are known as penitentes, according to a paper published in Nature Geoscience this week. They normally form in dry cold climates, where sunlight melts snow and it sublimates straight to water vapor.
We were all taught at school that “nothing goes faster than the speed of light.” The originator of this maxim of modern physics is Albert Einstein. But new findings suggest this was an oversimplification.
We are all familiar with Einstein’s famous formula E = mc2. It has withstood the test of time – mostly. But the 20th century’s greatest scientist may have assumed too much in applying his equation for determining the velocity of an elementary particle.
