Deforestration Abates

This is a welcome bit of information to act as an anecdote to the more hysterical reports of past years. In a way it is unsurprising. Central governments need their tax revenue and illegal cutting is all about operating out of government oversight

Mapping Ocean Heat Flux

This is truly odd and highly suggestive. Here we have a measurable switching behavior rather than a fuzzy trend line. This is very important because actual global temperature declines are clearly switching events.The example of the switch in the late

Synthetic Trees to Gather CO2

Somehow this one is a bit difficult to choke down. The startling item is that so much CO2 can be collected. It does not promise to convert it into something g conv3enien so we are still left with a disposal problem. Not a solution that competes with

Joseph Romm: The Storm of the Century -- so far

The Storm of the Century (so far) by Joseph Romm, Climate Progress blog, August 28, 2009 On August 23, 2005, a tropical depression formed 175 miles southeast of Nassau. By the next day, it had grown into tropical

In Conan's Land

As I have made clear in my postings, the ice age polar ice cap needed to be centered on the pole as much as possible to minimize growing imbalance in the crust. We have already dealt with the real slipperiness of the crust itself and shown that this

Promotion of Global Warming Derailed

Of course Marc Morano has been the center of dispensing information contrary to the pro global warming material. We have not had a public debate so much as a battle of the apologists.Again, for the record, the northern hemisphere warmed up quite nicely

Sugar Wars

Maybe this is how we should be buying it henceforth :) The sugar trade has been politically hands off in the USA for a century even in the face of pretty simple and compelling statistics that strongly imply a real need for access management.A big part

Anthrophogenic Global Cooling

The nasty news presented into this article is something that should have been accounted for from day one of the great global warming debate. It is really quite simple. CO2 absorbs thermal energy in the 14.77 micron slot. Testing in the early seventies
