Lance Armstrong’s wins weren’t caused by his doping, but he was still performance enhanced. Superstorm Sandy was similarly enhanced by industrial climate disruption.

Milloy's latest climate op-ed riddled with errors
Today, the Washington Times ran an op-ed by science-denier-for-hire Steve Milloy titled “2012 GOP guide to the climate debate.” Based on the number of errors and irrelevancies masquerading as serious concerns I discovered while reading it, the Washington Times should have titled the op-ed “How to lie to voters about climate disruption.” Here’s a brief […]
Gravity-measuring satellites and GPS confirm Greenland ice melting, affecting more of Greenland Ice Sheet
Over the last decade or so, scientists have tracked a significant loss of ice from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS). While some of that loss has been as a direct result of surface melting, most of it presently appears to be a result of warmer ocean waters melting the ice tongues that stretch out into […]
Two new studies point to significant ice melt-driven sea level rise this century
In 2007, the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) refused to stake a firm position on how fast and how high sea levels would rise. The IPCC claimed that, while there was widespread agreement on sea level rise due to thermal expansion of seawater, scientists did not yet know […]
Motivating climate action: Last Chance – Preserving Life on Earth
In the introduction to Last Chance – Preserving Life on Earth, author Larry J. Schweiger, the CEO of the National Wildlife Federation, comes right out and says that he’s not trying to change minds with this book. Instead, it’s his hope that the book will motivate millions of people to transform their concerns over global […]
20 million years of CO2 and ice sheet/sea level correlation
When you look at the ice core record, there’s a significant amount of correlation between sea level rise and the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air at the time. But the ice core record goes back less than a million years. A study published a couple of weeks ago in the journal Science […]
Oxygen isotope proxy errors corrected in Greenland ice cores
Scientists, mariners, and weather hobbyists started directly measuring temperature with thermometers globally in the late 1800s. When modern climatologists want temperature data farther back in time than those first global measurements, they have to use things called “proxies.” A proxy for temperature is something that, when calibrated properly, indirectly measures temperature. The most common proxies […]
The Weekly Carboholic: U.S. Chamber of Commerce files for EPA climate disruption trial (update #2)
U.S. Chamber of Commerce files for EPA climate disruption trial GRACE satellites show water use in India is unsustainable Biofuel crops may become next invasive species Is GM’s 230 MPG Volt claim real? Tubular Rail aims to invert train and rail July global ocean temperature sets two records Earlier this week, the LATimes reported that […]
The Weekly Carboholic: as the Arctic melts
As the Arctic melts Aerosols strongly influence tropical Atlantic temperatures Latest EIA Annual Energy Outlook updates energy consumption estimates for 2030 Large insurers required to disclose climate risks to regulators “I was in Siberia a few weeks ago, and I am now just back in from the field in Alaska. The permafrost is melting fast […]
The Weekly Carboholic: Pew poll says climate lowest priority, but results are curious
Pew poll says climate lowest priority, but results are curious Talking heads continue to confuse weather for climate Study says some climate changes cannot be reversed NOAA research jet measures greenhouse gases around the Pacific Study says oceans to dissolve much less oxygen Waste heat to eventually overwhelm greenhouse gases New magnets may replace HFC […]
The Weekly Carboholic: traditional media errs on latest permafrost study
MSM misunderstands or misrepresents permafrost study U.S. labs to study abrupt climate change Scientists witness first massive Arctic methane release Oklahoma plants absorb less CO2 after a hot year Cleaner air, more GHGs have increased rainfall Berkeley city council eases solar home refits SEC asked to force tar sand companies to reveal climate risks Nanotech […]
The Weekly Carboholic: "heat island" effect is minimal
One of the more common arguments you hear from global heating deniers and skeptics is that the urban heat island effect is causing global temperature measurements to look a lot hotter than they actually are. This is such a powerful argument because there is some truth to it – when you plop down a new […]
The Weekly Carboholic: Dr. Hansen twenty years later
Twenty years ago, on June 23, a scientist relatively unknown outside his field went before the Senate to give testimony about the greenhouse effect. Dr. James Hansen, of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Sciences (GISS) and Columbia University, went before Congress this week to tell the government and the country again what they didn’t want […]
The Weekly Carboholic
The World Future Energy Summit is taking place this week in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Conference topics include solar and wind power, clean transportation, carbon, waste-to-fuel conversion, biofuels, geothermal and other energy sources. There’s also an exhibition where 214 corporations, NGOs, media groups, financial institutions, and government organizations are showing off their latest “future […]
