Share this… Facebook TwitterNASA has conceded that climate models lack the precision required to make climate projections due to the inability to accurately model clouds. Clouds have the capacity to dramatically influence climate changes in both radiative longwave (the “greenhouse effect”) and shortwave. Cloud cover domination in longwave radiation In the longwave, clouds thoroughly dwarf […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterSome fresh new scientific papers are confirming that renewable energies, particularly wind and solar power, are not delivering what was promised – not by a long shot. They likely will become far more of a burden than a benefit. “Virtually doubled the price of electricity” For example, Pereira et al., 2019 writes […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterIn recent decades, the Earth’s seas have been rising at a rate of under 0.8 mm/year (8 cm per century) according to estimations of the sum of contributions to sea level rise. In contrast, sea levels rose at rates of more than 40 mm/year ~10,000 years ago. Relative sea level rise can […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterA recent study finds that Africa’s freshwater storages are driven by natural variability. Image: ScienceDirect Hat-tip: Mary Brown The authors examined GRACE satellite data and also found that Central Africa’s water storages are partially controlled by deforestation, and in northern Africa are controlled by groundwater extraction. What follows is the paper’s abstract, […]

According to scientists (Yan et al., 2019), coral reef ecosystems thrive in centennial-scale warming phases such as the Medieval Warm Period and Current Warm Period, whereas they experience population declines (“switch-off” […]
