Confronting Climate Contrarianism looks into the claims made climate contrarians and how they (mis)use the scientific literature. —————————————————————– In a textbook example of climate contrarians misusing the primary literature for an anti-scientific agenda, Robinson et al. (2007) are seemingly flippant about decades of research showing how humans have affected the climate since the onset of . . . → Read More: Confronting Climate Contrarianism II: Methane Accumulation in the Atmosphere

This gorgeous atmospheric wave pattern, caught by satellite, was visible off Baja California Sur on Sunday. Scripps graduate student James Means wrote: [Dr.] Larry Armi identifies this as an undular bore trapped by today’s very strong temperature inversion, and probably associated with an interaction between southeasterly flow at upper levels and the lower level . . . → Read More: Undular bores – not just for dinner parties

Ocean Acidification, Not Good For Living
Ocean Acidification, Not Good For Living avatar

Two recent papers in Nature GeoScience demonstrate the real effects of ocean acidification. For those not in know, there is an ongoing decrease in the pH of the oceans from carbon dioxide released by humans into the atmosphere. From 1751 to 1994, the pH of the world’s oceans has dropped by 0.1, an considerable decrease . . . → Read More: Ocean Acidification, Not Good For Living
