However cold tropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures don’t necessarily mean reduced hurricane risk. Colorado State University (CSU) hurricane expert Phillip Klotzback at Twitter commented that the tropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures are the 2nd coldest on […]

Tornadoes AWOL, models contradicted But even weather extremes aren’t cooperating with the climate predictions and models. For instance, yesterday meteorologist Joe Bastardi at Weatherbell noted that […]

Share this…Facebook0Twitter0Google+0emailIn the past it has been widely reported that high and abruptly changing CO2 concentrations during the Permian led to climate conditions that were “too hot for complex life to survive” on the planet. Today, scientists have determined that the opposite may be true: the Permian mass extinction event occurred during a period of […]

Recently I posted on the surprising and science-realistic German DLF national public radio report on how hurricanes are intensifying more quickly today than they did 30 years ago. Findings […]
